Export Slidev presentations as a PDF with speaker notes — like PowerPoint's "Notes Page" view.

Each page of the PDF contains two slides stacked vertically, each with its rendered speaker notes alongside.

Slidev's built-in export-notes command exports notes as text only — this tool gives you the slide images alongside your notes for a complete rehearsal document. Useful for:

• Reviewing your talk with notes visible
• Sharing a presentation with collaborators who need the context
• Printing a rehearsal copy

npm install --save-dev slidev-export-notes

Or run directly:

npx slidev-export-notes

Run from inside any Slidev project directory (where your slides.md lives):

npx slidev-export-notes

This will:

1. Start the Slidev dev server automatically
2. Screenshot each slide
3. Render your speaker notes as formatted HTML
4. Produce a PDF with two slides per page, notes alongside each
5. Shut down the server

Output: slides-notes.pdf in your project directory.

Both of Slidev's note syntaxes are supported:

HTML comment syntax:

## My Slide

Content here

<!--
Speaker notes go here.
They support **markdown** formatting.
-->

Triple-colon syntax:

## My Slide

Content here

:::
Speaker notes go here.
They support **markdown** formatting.

• Node.js 18+
• A Slidev project with slidev as a dependency

The tool parses your slides.md to extract note blocks, launches Playwright to screenshot each rendered slide from the dev server, composes an HTML layout with the slide images and rendered notes, then prints it to PDF. Notes text is auto-fitted to the available space.
