PowerPoint to PDF
PDFTurn a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) into a PDF, one slide to a page — shapes, pictures, tables and text — in your browser.
PowerPoint to PDF turns a presentation into a PDF to send or print — a pitch deck for an investor, a lecture's slides for students, a report for a client who has no PowerPoint — without PowerPoint and without the file leaving your computer. Each slide becomes one page at the slide's own size, drawn from what the .pptx holds: the background and the layout and theme it comes from, shapes and lines with their colours, gradients and arrowheads, pictures as they were cropped, tables in their table style, SmartArt, charts drawn from the numbers saved with them, and text with its bullets, numbering and links. Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New are drawn in open fonts with the same letter widths, so text wraps where PowerPoint wrapped it; other fonts are drawn in the nearest of those, and the tool says which. Each slide's title becomes a bookmark in the PDF. The preview is the PDF itself, and beside it a list of anything not drawn — a shadow, a picture in an old Windows format, a rare kind of chart.

Frequently asked questions
Is my presentation uploaded to make the PDF?
No. The .pptx is read and every slide drawn into the PDF in your own browser, and the file is saved straight to your device. A pitch deck with next year's numbers stays where it is.
Will the slides look the same as in PowerPoint?
Close, for most decks — and the preview shows every slide before you save. Backgrounds, the layout and theme each slide uses, shapes, gradients, pictures, tables, SmartArt and text are drawn from the file. Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman and Courier New are drawn in open fonts with the same letter widths; another font, such as Aptos or a brand font, is drawn in the nearest of those, and there a line of text can wrap a word earlier or later. The tool lists the fonts it used.
Are charts and animations included?
Charts are: column, bar, line, area, pie, doughnut and scatter charts are drawn from the numbers PowerPoint saves with them, with their titles, legends, axes and data labels (a 3-D chart is drawn flat). Radar, stock, surface and bubble charts are not, and the tool says so. Animations and transitions show as the slide looks when they have finished, as in PowerPoint's own PDF. Shadows, glows and 3-D effects are left out.
What happens to hidden slides and speaker notes?
Hidden slides are left out, as PowerPoint leaves them out of a PDF; tick Include hidden slides to have them too. Speaker notes are not included — the PDF is the slides.
Can people click the links in the PDF?
Yes: a web or email link in a slide's text is a link in the PDF too. Each slide's title also becomes a bookmark, so a long deck can be jumped through in any PDF reader.
What about an old .ppt file or a Keynote file?
A .ppt from before PowerPoint 2007 is a different format and is not read here; open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or LibreOffice and save it as .pptx. From Keynote, File → Export To → PowerPoint makes a .pptx this reads.
