PowerPoint to PDF

One page per slide, drawn rather than photographed, so the text stays text.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and you can even turn off your internet connection before you start.

How it works

  1. Add one or more .pptx files. Several at once is fine — each becomes its own PDF.
  2. Wait while the slides are drawn. A long deck with many photographs takes a moment.
  3. Download the PDF and check it before you send it on.
  4. For a deck full of charts or SmartArt, export from PowerPoint itself instead — see below.

Frequently asked questions

What comes across, and what does not?
Backgrounds, text with its size, weight, colour and alignment, bullet levels, pictures and simple tables. What does not: charts, SmartArt, gradients, shadows, WordArt and animation. Those need a drawing engine that a web page does not have, and they are left out rather than drawn badly.
Can I select and search the text afterwards?
Yes. Each slide is drawn as real text on a PDF page rather than turned into a picture, so the PDF can be searched, copied out of and printed at any size.
It does not look exactly like my slides.
Then export it from PowerPoint (File → Export → PDF), which uses the same drawing engine that showed you the slides. This tool is for when you do not have PowerPoint to hand and need a readable PDF now.
Does it handle the old .ppt format?
No. .ppt is a different, binary format; open it in PowerPoint or LibreOffice once and save it as .pptx.
Is my deck uploaded?
No. It is unzipped and drawn in your browser, which matters when the deck is a client’s or an unpublished set of numbers.
