What this converter does
Why convert a presentation to PDF
Slides are saved as images
What can look different from your original
About .ppt files
Features explained
Choose a file with one click
Click the upload area and pick a presentation from your device. There is no drag and drop, and the tool takes one file at a time, so choose the deck you want before pressing Convert.
Type and size check before converting
The tool checks that the file is a .pptx or .ppt and that it is no larger than 50 MB. If it fails, you see an error message right away instead of waiting for a conversion that cannot work.
Slide-by-slide progress
A progress bar with a percentage shows how far the conversion has got. Larger decks take longer because every slide is drawn and compressed one after another.
Automatic download with a matching name
When conversion finishes, the PDF downloads without another click. A file called Quarterly Review.pptx becomes Quarterly Review.pdf.
Clear and start over
After you pick a file, the Clear & Start Over button removes it and any error message so you can choose a different presentation.
What can you use it for?
Emailing a presentation
Send a PDF to someone who may not have PowerPoint. The page order stays the same and they can open it in any PDF viewer.
Submitting assignments and reports
Many portals ask for PDF. Converting your slides gives you a fixed copy that will not reflow on the reviewer’s computer.
Printing slides
A PDF with one landscape page per slide is simple to print or send to a print shop.
Keeping a final version
Save a PDF of the deck as it was presented, separate from the editable PPTX you may keep changing.

Benefits
- Nothing to install; conversion runs on the page.
- The file is not uploaded by this tool.
- Page order and slide appearance are fixed in the PDF.
- No sign-in step and no watermark added by the tool.
- The PDF is named after your original file.
Limitations
- PDF text is not selectable or searchable, and links are not clickable, because slides are saved as images.
- Every page is 1280 × 720 pixels. Presentations with a different slide shape may be scaled, so check the result.
- Rendering is done by a browser library, not PowerPoint, so fonts, charts, SmartArt and effects can differ from the original.
- Animations, transitions, audio, video and speaker notes are not included.
- Older .ppt files are accepted by the file picker but may fail to convert.
- One file at a time, up to 50 MB. Password-protected presentations are not supported.
- There is no cancel button. Large decks can make the page feel slow while they are processed; reloading the page stops the job.
- The size of the PDF depends on how many slides there are and how detailed they look.
What the tool checks
Before converting, the tool checks the file type and the 50 MB limit. It does not scan the content of the file and it cannot open password-protected presentations. Avoid converting files you do not trust.
Privacy
The presentation is read and converted in your browser, and the conversion code does not send the file to a server. The conversion libraries are downloaded by the page when you start, which is separate from your file. Other scripts on the site, such as analytics or ads, are not part of this tool.
Tips
- Open the PDF after downloading and scroll through every page before you send it.
- If you need selectable text, use PowerPoint’s own Save as PDF option instead.
- If a file is over 50 MB, compress the pictures in PowerPoint first and convert again.
- If a .ppt file fails, re-save it as .pptx in PowerPoint.
- Remove the password from a protected presentation in PowerPoint before converting.
Frequently asked questions
Is this converter free?
Yes. The tool has no sign-in or payment step and does not add a watermark to the PDF.
Is my presentation uploaded to a server?
Not by this tool. The file is converted in your browser and the conversion code makes no network request with it. The site as a whole may load other scripts, such as analytics, that are separate from the converter.
Can I select or copy text in the PDF?
No. Each slide is saved as an image, so the text cannot be selected, copied or searched. Use PowerPoint’s Save as PDF if you need real text.
Will the PDF look exactly like my slides?
Often close, but not guaranteed. The slides are drawn by a browser library rather than PowerPoint, so fonts, charts and special effects can differ. Check the PDF before sharing it.
What happens to animations and transitions?
They are not included. A PDF page is static, so you get one still picture of each slide. Audio, video and speaker notes are not added either.
Does it work with .ppt files?
The file picker accepts .ppt, but that older format has not been confirmed to convert reliably. If it fails, save the file as .pptx in PowerPoint and try again.
What is the maximum file size?
Each file can be up to 50 MB. A larger file shows an error. Compressing the images in PowerPoint is the easiest way to reduce it.
Can I convert several presentations at once?
No. The tool converts one file at a time. When it finishes, choose the next presentation and convert it.
Can it open a password-protected presentation?
No. Password-protected files are not supported. Remove the password in PowerPoint first.
Why is the conversion slow on my large presentation?
Every slide is drawn and compressed in your browser, one after another. A deck with many slides or heavy pictures takes longer, and there is no cancel button, so wait for it to finish or reload the page.
