About Marp
Marp is an open-source Markdown presentation ecosystem that converts Markdown documents into slide decks. It supports themes, CSS customization, and exports to HTML, PDF, and PowerPoint.
Marp is an open-source ecosystem designed to simplify presentation creation by leveraging Markdown. By focusing on a text-first approach, it allows users to write stories in Markdown and convert them into professional slide decks. The ecosystem includes the Marp Core engine, the Marp CLI for command-line operations, and a popular VS Code extension for real-time previewing. It is highly flexible, supporting custom CSS themes and a pluggable architecture based on the Marpit framework. While it lacks a traditional drag-and-drop GUI, its reliance on standard Markdown and CSS makes it a powerful tool for developers and technical users who prefer version-controlled, reproducible presentations. It is fully open-source and MIT-licensed, with extensive documentation and community support available via GitHub.
