The extension .pptx is not supported. I know ppt is not but why .pptx? In the available extensions it shows .pptx but it is not working.

Well .pptx is supported, but if you read carefully it says that ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Image' and this is due to that in the textract.parsers.__init__.py there is a try/except that tests only on importing the parser correctly and not its existance.

So basically if you install the Image module, this will be solved for you.
