beamer2html
beamer2html turns a beamer presentation into a self-contained HTML slide deck that runs offline in any modern browser. Animations, step-by-step reveals, interactive plots, videos and speaker notes then work without depending on a particular PDF viewer, and the same sources still give the PDF.
It has two parts:
beamer2html.sty, a LaTeX package used in the beamer source: title slides, title bar and footer, row/column layout, tables, a progress timeline, publication and literature lists, shapes over figures, videos, plots from data files (pgfplots), animations from image sequences (animate) and flowchart styles for TikZ.beamer2html, a Python program that writesslides.html(with anhtml/folder of scripts, styles and MathJax) from that source. It can also pack the deck and exactly the files it uses into one zip for the presenting computer.
The HTML deck has step-by-step reveals, a presenter view (notes, next slide, timer, touch controls), a slide grid, interactive plots and animation controls. The program understands the LaTeX of decks written with beamer2html.sty, not LaTeX in general; anything it does not know is kept as plain text and reported as a warning.

Beamer2html – Convert beamer presentations into offline HTML slide decks
This package turns a Beamer presentation into a self-contained HTML slide deck that runs offline in any modern browser, so that animations, step-by-step reveals, interactive plots, videos and speaker notes work without depending on a particular PDF viewer. The same sources still produce the PDF.
It consists of two parts:
- beamer2html.sty, a LaTeX package with title slides, title bar and footer, layout, tables, plots from data files (pgfplots), animations from image sequences (animate), shapes over figures, videos and flowchart styles;
- beamer2html, a Python 3 program that writes the HTML deck from that source and can pack it, together with exactly the files it uses, into one zip file.
The HTML deck has a presenter view with notes and touch controls, a slide grid, interactive plots and animation controls.
