PDF to PowerPoint Converter

Choose a PDF, or drop it on the page. It opens straight away because nothing is uploaded. Up to 50 MB and 200 pages.

Check the line under the file name. It shows how many pages the PDF has and the real size of its first page - that size is what your slides will be.

Press Convert to PowerPoint. There is nothing to choose: a PDF can honestly be turned into one thing, and that is what the tool does.

Read the notes if any appear. They tell you about pages that were scans, pages of a different shape from the first, or a page too large for PowerPoint - the three things that cannot be carried across silently.

Download the .pptx and open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote or LibreOffice Impress. Click into any line of text and type.

No. The PDF is read inside your browser and the PowerPoint file is written there too, so the document never leaves your computer. There is no upload wait, no queue, nothing stored on a server and nothing for us to delete. That matters for the documents people actually convert - pitch decks, reports, brochures and internal newsletters are rarely things you want to hand to a stranger to get a slide deck back.

Because your PDF was not that shape, and we think matching the page is more useful than matching a default. Almost every other converter sets the slide size before it opens your file, so an A4 report gets shrunk until it fits a 13.33 by 7.5 inch slide and sits in the middle with empty bands either side. This tool reads the page box out of the PDF first and makes the slide that shape, so the deck looks like the document you started with. If you want a widescreen deck, change the slide size in PowerPoint afterwards under Design, Slide Size - it is one step, and it is a step you can skip, which is not true the other way round.

It is real text. Each line of the PDF becomes its own PowerPoint text box at the position it had, keeping its size, its bold and italic, and its colour, so you click into it and type exactly as you would in any deck. What you do not get is reflow: because every line is positioned separately, typing a long sentence into one box will not push the lines below it down the slide. That is the honest trade for a layout that matches the page. For heavy rewriting it is usually quicker to retype a slide than to fight it.

They are redrawn as real PowerPoint shapes you can select, recolour and move. Rectangles come back as rectangles, and - unusually - round things come back round: each path is measured against its own bounding box to work out whether it was a circle, a rounded card or a square corner, so play buttons, numbered badges and avatar circles are not flattened into squares. Rounded panels keep the right corner radius. Complex vector artwork is the limit: an illustration built from hundreds of curves cannot be rebuilt as editable shapes by any converter, and where a round shape was clipped by something else it is left out rather than drawn as a block the document never had.

No, and the tool says so rather than quietly producing a blank slide. A scanned page has no text in it at all - it is a photograph of a page - so that slide becomes a picture of the page, which at least looks right. If you need the words out of a scan, use the PDF to Word Converter instead: it reads scanned pages with OCR in twelve languages. This tool has no OCR, because a deck made of OCR text boxes at guessed positions is worse than a picture, not better.

A .pptx file has one slide size for the whole presentation - that is a rule of the format, not a shortcut taken here. So the first page decides the slide size, and any page of a different shape is scaled to fit inside it and centred, with the proportions kept. The tool counts those pages and tells you how many there were. If it matters, split the PDF by orientation first and convert each part.

Not usually, and no browser-based converter can. The fonts inside a PDF are embedded for drawing, not for installing, so the text is set in a close standard match instead - a serif face for a serif original, a monospaced one for code, Arial otherwise. Because a substituted font is never exactly the same width, each line is measured and its letter spacing nudged until it ends up the width it had in the PDF, which stops lines creeping across the slide and overlapping what is beside them.

That happens with letter-spaced headings - the wide-tracked eyebrow text newsletters and brochures like. A PDF records the gap between two spaced-out words in exactly the same way as the gap between two spaced-out letters, so by the time any program reads the file, WATCH EPISODE 12 and WATCHEPISODE12 are indistinguishable. Copying that heading out of Acrobat or Preview gives you the same thing. The tool converts the spacing into real PowerPoint letter spacing so the heading stays an editable, searchable word rather than a string of single letters, tells you when it has done it, and you add the spaces back in a few seconds.

Anything that reads .pptx: Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and later, Google Slides, Apple Keynote, LibreOffice Impress, WPS Office and most phone office apps. It is a standard PowerPoint file, not a renamed PDF or a deck of images pretending to be slides.

No watermark, no account, no email address and no cap on how many files you convert. The only limits are practical ones: 50 MB and 200 pages per file, because every page is rendered in your browser using your own memory.
