SCORM converters and migration tools
Turning what you already have — decks, video, H5P, old packages — into something an LMS accepts.
Compiled and checked by the scorm-tools.com editor. Last updated .
Most SCORM work does not start from a blank canvas. It starts with a PowerPoint deck that has been through four rounds of review, a folder of MP4s, an H5P activity, or a course built for a platform the client has since left. The tools here move that content across the gap.
They divide by what goes in. Document and deck converters wrap slides into a package, usually adding a player shell, navigation and a completion rule. Video and media wrappers do the same for a single asset, where the only real question is what counts as "complete". Format bridges move between the standards themselves — SCORM to xAPI, SCORM 1.2 to 2004, H5P to SCORM — and are the fiddliest, because the two ends disagree about what a result means.
The honest caveat for the whole category: a converter can guarantee a conformant package, but it cannot invent instructional design. A converted deck is a deck in an LMS. That is often exactly what a compliance module needs, and rarely what a flagship course needs — worth being clear about before the budget is set.

How do I convert PowerPoint to SCORM?
Either with a self-serve converter that wraps the exported slides in a player and manifest, or by rebuilding the deck in an authoring tool. The first is minutes and cheap; the second gives you real interactions, narration and accessibility. Both appear in this directory.
Does converting a deck preserve animations and narration?
It depends entirely on the export path. Tools that go through PDF or images lose both. Tools that drive PowerPoint itself can keep timings and audio. Check the listing, and test with your most complicated slide rather than your simplest.
Can I convert an existing SCORM package to xAPI?
Partly. Wrappers exist that intercept SCORM API calls and re-emit them as xAPI statements, which preserves completion and score. What they cannot do is give you the richer verbs that make xAPI worth having — that needs authoring for xAPI in the first place.
Is SCORM 1.2 to 2004 conversion safe?
Structurally, usually. Behaviourally, test it. 2004's stricter data model rejects values 1.2 tolerated, and sequencing defaults can change how a multi-SCO course navigates.
