How do I convert PowerPoint to PDF?
Drop your .pptx file into the box above and click “Convert to PDF”. The tool reads the presentation, draws each visible slide as one page, and gives you a PDF with the same page size as the slides. A wide 16:9 deck gives wide pages, and a portrait handout stays portrait. Your original file stays exactly as it was.
You can add several presentations at once. Each one becomes its own PDF, named after the original, and they download together as one ZIP. Under the result, every PDF also has its own download button and a short note.
Tip: Before you convert, unhide the slides you want in the PDF. Hidden slides are skipped, the same way a slide show skips them.
What is kept, and what is in Beta?
Most slides come out very close to what PowerPoint shows. The tool keeps:
- Layout from the theme. Slide masters, layouts, placeholders, backgrounds, colors and fonts from the theme.
- Text. Bullets, numbering, indents, alignment, line spacing, bold, italic, underline and links shown in their color. Text that PowerPoint shrinks to fit a box is shrunk too.
- Pictures. JPEG photos are passed through exactly as stored, and PNG pictures keep every pixel, with their cropping, rounded corners and transparency.
- Shapes and tables. Common shapes, lines with arrows, rotated and grouped shapes, and tables with merged cells, borders and fills.
- Charts and SmartArt. Simple bar, column, line, area, pie and doughnut charts, drawn from the values saved in the file, and SmartArt drawn from the layout PowerPoint saved.
Because this is a Beta, a few things differ. Text uses standard PDF fonts scaled to the width of the original font, so Calibri text looks slightly different even though every line breaks in the same place. Shadows, glow, reflections and 3D effects are left out. Old EMF and WMF pictures, which some logos and embedded objects use, cannot be drawn in a browser yet. Whenever something like this happens, the result names it, for example “2 charts were added as pictures”, so you know which slides to look at.
Why turn a presentation into a PDF?
A PDF is the easiest way to share slides with people who should read them, not edit them.
- Sending a deck by email or chat. A PDF opens on any phone without PowerPoint, and the layout does not shift.
- Printing handouts. Every slide is a page with the right size and orientation.
- Submitting a class or job assignment. Many forms accept only PDF files.
- Keeping a record. A PDF of the final version shows exactly what was presented.
- Making the file smaller. After converting, run Compress PDF if the deck has many large photos.
Is it safe to convert PowerPoint to PDF online?
Yes. You open the tool online, but the conversion happens on your own phone or computer. Your browser unpacks the .pptx file, draws the slides and writes the PDF, and the presentation is never sent to a server. That matters for pitch decks, financial results and anything that is not public yet.
You can check it yourself: open your browser’s network tab while converting, and you will see that no file data leaves your device. There is no account, no limit on the number of files, and after the first visit the tool also works offline.
