About PowerPoint to PDF
Think of this as an outline exporter rather than a visual converter. Add a .pptx file and the first line of text on each slide becomes a bold title, the remaining lines become bullets, and every slide gets its own landscape page measuring 10 by 7.5 inches. That is enough to proofread a deck's wording or hand out an outline. Backgrounds, pictures, charts, shapes and speaker notes are not carried over.
Features
- First text line of each slide becomes a bold title and the rest become bullets
- One landscape page per slide, 10 by 7.5 inches
- Shows the slide count once the file is read
- Long lines wrap to fit the page width
- The file is read and the PDF is written in your browser, with no server upload
Limitations
- Only .pptx files up to 25 MB are accepted; older .ppt files are not.
- Only text is kept: design, images, charts, shapes and speaker notes are left out, and the first text line of every slide is treated as its title.
- Lines that run past the bottom margin are cut off instead of continuing on a new page, and text outside the Latin character set stops the conversion.
- Downloading the PDF needs a free account.
How it works
- Read the note above the upload area, which says that slide design, images and charts are not preserved.
- Drop a .pptx file onto the upload area, or browse for it.
- Wait while the slides are read. Conversion starts as soon as the file is chosen, and the slide count appears beside the file size.
- Select Download PDF to save the outline, which keeps your presentation's name.
Frequently asked questions
- No. The PDF has plain white pages with the text set in a standard font. Backgrounds, themes, pictures, charts and shapes are not read. To keep how the slides look, export the deck to PDF from PowerPoint itself instead.
- Each slide is a single page, and lines that would fall below the bottom margin are dropped rather than moved to another page. Shorten the slide, or split its content over two slides, and convert again.
- No, the upload accepts .pptx only. Open the old presentation in PowerPoint, save it as .pptx, and upload that copy. A file that is not a valid presentation gets a message saying no slides were found.
- No. Only the text on the slides themselves is read. Notes are stored separately in the file and are ignored, so they will not appear on any page of the PDF.
- No. The .pptx is opened and the PDF is written inside your browser tab, so the file does not go to a server. Saving the finished PDF is the only step that asks you to sign in.
