Convert basic PPTX slides with text, shapes and images to PDF. Older PPT files and complex slide objects are not supported.
When is it useful? Save a PowerPoint presentation as PDF to share slides with people who do not have PowerPoint, to upload a presentation to a portal, or to print handouts.
Good to know: this tool reads .pptx files with text, shapes and images and draws each slide as a page image in the PDF, so text is not selectable. Animations, speaker notes and links are not kept, and some complex objects may look different. Older .ppt files must first be saved as .pptx.
| Your presentation | Result in PDF |
|---|---|
| Each slide | One page image |
| Text, shapes and images | Drawn on the page |
| Text | Not selectable |
| Animations, speaker notes, links | Not kept |
| Complex objects | May look different |
Browser processing: your files are processed on your own device and are never uploaded to our server.
Not everyone has PowerPoint, and slides can look broken in other programs or on phones. A PDF of your presentation opens almost everywhere, keeps the slide design fixed, and is the format most portals, teachers and clients accept for handouts and submissions.
The tool reads your .pptx file in the browser — the text, shapes and pictures on each slide — and draws every slide as a page in the PDF. Each page is saved as a picture of the slide, so the text in the PDF cannot be selected or searched. Animations, transitions, videos, speaker notes and clickable links are not included.
Slides made with text boxes, simple shapes and pictures convert most faithfully. Charts, SmartArt, special effects, embedded fonts and complex grouped objects may look different or simpler than in PowerPoint. Older .ppt files from PowerPoint 97–2003 must be saved as .pptx first.
A chart or diagram looks wrong: in PowerPoint, right-click it and save it as a picture, place the picture on the slide, and convert again. Text uses a different font: choose a common font such as Arial or Calibri. You need selectable text: run the PDF through OCR PDF or use PowerPoint's own Save as PDF.
Check every slide in the PDF before sending, keep the .pptx for future edits, and use your PDF viewer's print settings to print several slides per sheet as handouts.
