How to use the PowerPoint to PDF converter
- Pick PPTX, PPT or ODP files, each up to 95 MB.
- Convert. Decks full of large photos need a few extra seconds.
- Open the PDF and flip through any slides that use unusual fonts.
Each slide becomes one page
Backgrounds, master layouts, shapes, tables and images are rendered onto a page with the same aspect ratio as the deck, so widescreen 16:9 slides give widescreen pages. Every slide also gets its own bookmark, which helps readers jump around a long handout.
Words stay as real text, so the handout can be searched and quoted. For decks made mostly of text and shapes the PDF tends to be much smaller than the PPTX, which helps with upload portals that have a size limit.
What a PDF cannot carry
Animations and transitions are flattened: each slide is shown in its final state. Embedded video and audio cannot play inside a PDF; what remains on the page is the clip’s preview image or its icon.
Speaker notes are not part of the output, and hidden slides are skipped. Unhide any slide you want readers to see before you convert.
Converted by LibreOffice Impress
Faithful slide rendering needs a complete presentation program, so the deck is sent over HTTPS to our server, where LibreOffice Impress runs in an isolated process with no network access.
The uploaded deck and the PDF are both deleted right after the PDF is returned to your browser.
Questions
Can people copy text from the handout?
Yes. Slide text is kept as real text rather than an image, so readers can search the PDF and copy a quote or a figure out of it.
A heading uses a different font. Why?
A font that is neither embedded in the deck nor installed on our server is replaced with a close free one. Calibri, Arial and other common Office fonts have width-compatible stand-ins, so their layout holds.
Does this take Keynote files?
No. Export from Keynote as PowerPoint, then convert the PPTX here.
Can I convert several decks?
Yes. Add them all; they are converted one after another and can be saved together in a ZIP.
