Frequently asked questions

How are slides laid out?
Each slide becomes its own landscape page in the PDF, with its text, shapes, and images positioned as in the presentation.
Are animations kept?
No. A PDF is static, so animations, transitions, and embedded video aren't included — you get the final look of each slide. Some effects and fonts may differ slightly.
Is my presentation uploaded?
No. The .pptx is parsed and rendered entirely in your browser — the file never leaves your device.

Slides into a shareable PDF

Sending a .pptx assumes the recipient has PowerPoint and won't accidentally edit your deck. A PDF opens anywhere and stays fixed. PowerPoint to PDF reads your presentation in the browser and renders each slide as a landscape page, ready to share, print as a handout, or archive.

On your device, private

Decks often hold unreleased plans and numbers. This tool parses and renders the .pptx entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded. Every slide is included, in order, as its own page.

Notes and limits

The result captures each slide's layout, text, shapes, and images. Being a PDF, it doesn't include animations, transitions, or video, and some advanced effects or unusual fonts may render differently. To convert a spreadsheet or document instead, use Excel to PDF or Word to PDF.

How a slide becomes a page

A .pptx stores each slide as its own XML description of shapes, text boxes, images, and their exact positions on a slide canvas — the converter reads that structure directly in your browser and redraws each shape at the same coordinates on a landscape PDF page, so the layout you designed carries over rather than being reflowed like a text document. Slide size, whether standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9, is read from the presentation and used to set each page's dimensions.

What doesn't carry over, and why

Speaker notes aren't included in the PDF pages since they're a separate part of the file meant for the presenter's screen, not the slide itself — share the .pptx directly if you need them. Custom or embedded fonts that aren't installed on your system render with a fallback, and slide transitions, embedded video, and audio have no equivalent in a static page format, so only the resting frame of each slide is captured. Very text-heavy slides with auto-shrunk fonts are worth checking, since dynamic text sizing doesn't always recompute the same way here.

Bundling with other documents

Handing out a deck alongside a written report or a data appendix? Convert each with Word to PDF or Excel to PDF and use Merge PDF to package them as one file.
