How it works
A .pptx file is an archive containing XML, one slide per file. The tool reads the slide size, then each block with its position, its text and its images. It then redraws everything into a PDF, at the same scale and the same coordinates.
When a block doesn’t carry its position, as titles often don’t, it’s taken from the layout and then from the presentation’s slide master, exactly as PowerPoint would do.
The text is written as real text, not photographed. It stays selectable, copyable, searchable with Ctrl+F and readable by a screen reader. That’s also why the resulting PDF is light.
What is carried over and what isn’t
Carried over: the position and size of blocks; the text with its bullet levels, its real sizes, bold, italic, underline and colors; slide backgrounds; theme colors; simple shapes with their fill and border; graphic elements placed in the slide master; images; tables with their column widths; and the speaker notes if you tick the option.
Charts are redrawn from their data: columns, bars, lines, areas, pies, doughnuts and scatter plots, with their title, legend and colors. A 3D chart is drawn flat; a radar, bubble, stock or combined chart stays marked in its place.
Not carried over: gradients, patterns, shadows, freeform shapes, animations and transitions. A shape the tool can’t draw is placed as a rectangle, in its place and in its color, rather than left blank.
It’s a conversion of the content, faithful on the text and the layout, not on the graphic styling. To send a document whose appearance reflects on your image, use PowerPoint.
Which page format to choose
Slide size keeps the exact proportions of the presentation, 16:9 or 4:3. That’s the setting to keep for reading on screen or projecting.
A4 landscape and A4 portrait place each slide in the center of an A4 page, never distorting it. Choose these when the PDF will end up on a printer.
Non-Latin alphabets
The fonts built into the PDF format only carry the Latin alphabet. When a presentation contains anything else, the tool writes it with more complete fonts, loaded only in that case: Greek, Cyrillic, Central European letters, Arabic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and symbols come through, and the text stays selectable.
Emoji and the rarest Chinese characters aren’t included: those characters are replaced with a question mark, and the tool tells you how many.
Frequently asked questions
Is my presentation sent anywhere? No. You can check for yourself in thirty seconds: here is how.
Are my presentation’s colors kept? Mostly, yes: slide backgrounds, theme colors, text colors and the fill of simple shapes. Gradients and patterns are not: they come out without their shading rather than being guessed at.
How many presentations can I convert? As many as you like, with no limit on number or size. The only real constraint is the memory of your phoneyour tabletyour computer, since it does the work.
How many slides per presentation? Up to 200. Beyond that, the tool tells you how many are left rather than bogging down your browser. The original file stays intact.
What about old .ppt files? No. The pre-2007 .ppt is a closed binary format. It has to be converted to .pptx in software that can open it.
Some images disappeared, why? The EMF and WMF formats, specific to Windows, can’t be decoded in a browser. They often come from a chart or diagram pasted from Excel or Word. The tool tells you how many images it had to leave out.
Can I edit the resulting PDF? Not here; this tool converts. But you can compress it, merge it, number it or add a watermark with the site’s other tools.
