PPT to PDF Converter

To convert PPT to PDF, add your presentation to the box above. The conversion starts at once, and a few seconds later every page of the PDF appears below so you can check it. Each slide keeps its layout, fonts, colours, pictures, charts, tables and links, and the text stays selectable and searchable.

Choose Slides with notes to print your speaker notes under each slide, or Handouts to put two, three, four, six or nine slides on a page. Pick the slides you need, include hidden ones if you want them, then press Apply changes; the PDF is rebuilt from the same upload in seconds.

A presentation that looks perfect on your laptop can look different on someone else's: missing fonts are replaced, layouts shift and animations get in the way of reading. A PDF fixes all of that. This PPT to PDF converter turns each slide into a page that looks the same on every phone, tablet and computer and prints exactly as shown.

The conversion runs on our server with the current version of LibreOffice Impress, an engine that reads PowerPoint files very accurately, together with fonts that match the widths of Calibri, Cambria, Arial and Times, so lines break where they do in PowerPoint. Your phone gets the same quality as a powerful computer.

PowerPoint to PDF conversion here keeps what makes a slide a slide: the theme and background, placeholders and text boxes, bullet levels, SmartArt and shapes, tables, charts drawn as sharp vectors, pictures and icons, and slide numbers and footers from the master. Hyperlinks to websites stay clickable in the PDF.

Animations and transitions cannot exist in a PDF, so each slide is shown in its finished state, with every animated item visible. Embedded videos and sounds are replaced by their poster image. The result is a document that is easy to read, print and send, and that nobody can accidentally change.

PPTX is the format of every PowerPoint presentation since 2007, and PPTM is the same with macros, which are never run here. To turn a PPTX to PDF, simply add the file; the slide size, whether widescreen 16:9, standard 4:3 or a custom size, becomes the page size of the PDF.

Older PPT files from PowerPoint 97 to 2003, PPS and PPSX slide shows, POT and POTX templates and OpenDocument ODP presentations from LibreOffice and OpenOffice all convert the same way.

Speaker notes are often the most valuable part of a deck: the explanation, the talking points, the sources. For a PPT to PDF with notes, choose Slides with notes. Each page then shows the slide at the top and its notes underneath, the same notes page layout PowerPoint prints, which suits teachers sharing lectures, students revising, and colleagues reviewing a talk before it is given.

The preview shows how many slides have notes, so you can see at a glance whether the deck you were sent actually contains any. Notes are kept as real text, so they can be searched and copied from the PDF.

Printing one slide per page wastes paper. Handouts put multiple slides per page in a tidy grid with a thin frame around each slide: two per page for large, readable slides, four or six for a compact overview, and nine for a quick reference of a long deck. Three per page puts each slide on the left with ruled lines on the right for writing notes, just like classic printed handouts.

Choose A4, Letter, Legal or A3 paper and portrait or landscape pages, or let the orientation be picked automatically to show the slides as large as possible. Set the gap between slides from none to large, narrow or wide page margins, a border around each slide or none, and whether slides run across or down the page. Slide numbers under each slide, the presentation name at the top and Page 1 of N at the bottom keep a printed stack in order.

The most common complaint after converting a deck is blurry photos and jagged text. A PPT to PDF without losing quality keeps pictures exactly as they are in the presentation, at their original resolution and compression, while text, shapes and charts are written as vector graphics that stay sharp at any zoom and in print.

When the PDF has to be small, for an email attachment or an upload limit, choose Smaller file. Pictures are then reduced to 150 DPI, which still looks good on screen, and a deck full of photos often shrinks from many megabytes to a few hundred kilobytes. Text and charts stay sharp either way.

Google Slides to PDF in Slides itself gives one slide per page. For notes pages or handouts with more control, choose File, Download, then Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) in Google Slides, and add that file here. Speaker notes written in Google Slides come across in the PPTX file.

The same works for PowerPoint for the web and Microsoft 365: download a copy as PPTX and convert it here when you need a layout the web app does not offer.

Apple Keynote presentations can be added directly as .key files. For Keynote to PDF on Windows, Android or a computer without Keynote, this is one of the few ways to get a readable PDF. Most slides convert well; very complex Keynote effects may look simpler.

For the best result from a Mac, you can also choose File, Export To, PowerPoint in Keynote and convert the PPTX file here, which also lets you add notes pages and handouts.

PowerPoint itself can save PowerPoint as PDF: on Windows choose File, Save As, then PDF, and in Options pick Notes pages or Handouts; on a Mac choose File, Export, then PDF. It works well when PowerPoint is installed and the fonts are on your computer.

This page does the same job in any browser on any device, without installing anything, with handouts of two to nine slides, notes pages, slide ranges, hidden slides and a choice of image quality in one place, and a preview of every page before you download.

Often only part of a deck is needed: the summary slides for a manager, one chapter of a lecture, or the appendix with the numbers. Type the slides you want in the Slides box, such as 1-5, 8, 12-end, and press Apply changes. The slide numbers are the ones you see in PowerPoint.

Hidden slides are left out by default, just like in a slide show. Tick Include hidden slides to put them in, for example backup slides you want reviewers to see. The preview tells you how many hidden slides the file contains.

Every page of the PDF appears as soon as it is ready. Click a page to see it larger and use the arrow keys to move through the deck. It is the quickest way to spot a font that was replaced, a chart that needs more room or a slide you did not mean to include, and to fix it before you send anything.

Changes are quick because the presentation is not uploaded again: the server keeps your upload while you work and rebuilds the PDF with the new settings in a few seconds.

Fonts decide how a slide looks. Calibri, Cambria, Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New and Segoe-style fonts are matched by fonts with the same letter widths, so text fits its boxes exactly as in PowerPoint. Fonts embedded in the presentation are used directly, and Noto fonts cover Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and many other scripts.

If a deck uses a rare decorative font that is neither common nor embedded, a similar font is used instead and the text may take a little more or less space. To keep such a font exactly, embed it in PowerPoint (File, Options, Save, Embed fonts in the file) before converting.

A few habits in PowerPoint make the PDF better. Keep text inside its placeholders and avoid text boxes that overflow the slide edge, because anything outside the slide is cut off in a PDF just as it is in a slide show. Insert pictures at the size you need rather than very large photos scaled down, which keeps the PDF small even at Original quality.

Put essential information in the slide or the notes rather than in animations alone, since a PDF shows the finished state of each slide. Give charts a clear title and readable labels, and use a font size of at least 14 points for anything that will be printed as a handout with six or nine slides per page.

What stays: layouts, themes, backgrounds, text and bullets, tables, charts, SmartArt and shapes, pictures, slide numbers, headers and footers, hyperlinks and the order of the slides. Text stays real text, so the PDF can be searched, copied and read aloud by screen readers.

What changes: animations and transitions are shown in their final state, videos and sounds become their poster image, comments are not printed, and hidden slides are left out unless you include them. Slide timings and presenter view only matter during a live show, so they do not appear in a PDF.

Add up to 10 presentations at once. Each converts as soon as it arrives, and the same layout and options apply to all of them when you press Apply changes. Download each PDF on its own, or all of them in one ZIP, which is handy for a week of lectures or a set of client proposals.

Password-protected presentations show a password box; type the password and the file is opened and converted. The password is used only for that conversion and never stored.

On an iPhone, iPad or Android phone, open this page in Safari or Chrome and tap Select PowerPoint file. Presentations from email, WhatsApp, Google Drive, OneDrive and the Files app can all be chosen. The conversion happens on our server, so even a large deck converts quickly, and every page appears for you to check.

Tap a page to see it larger, change the layout if you need notes or handouts, then tap Download PDF and share it straight from your phone. Nothing needs to be installed and no PowerPoint licence is needed.

Your presentation travels over an encrypted connection to our conversion server. It is kept only while you are working on it, so that changes do not need a new upload, and is deleted 20 minutes after your last change, or at once when you remove it, clear the list or leave the page.

Files are never shared, never read by people and never used for anything else. Macros inside presentations are never run, and links to other files or websites are never updated during conversion, so it is safe even for files from unknown sources.

Each conversion runs in its own fresh copy of LibreOffice Impress with no shared state. The presentation is opened read-only without running macros, its slides, hidden slides and notes are counted, and it is exported as a tagged PDF with your choices of layout, slide range and image quality. Tagged PDFs carry the reading order, which helps screen readers and search engines.

Handouts are then laid out from the exported slides: each page is divided into a grid for the number of slides you chose, every slide is placed as vector content, scaled to fit its cell, framed, and, for three per page, given note lines. Nothing is turned into a picture, so text stays sharp and selectable.

Use Slides for sharing a deck by email, Slides with notes for presenters and reviewers, and Handouts with three per page for an audience that wants to take notes.

Embed unusual fonts in PowerPoint before converting so the text fits exactly.

Choose Smaller file for email attachments and upload limits; keep Original quality for printing and photo-heavy decks.

Use the Slides box to send only the part of the deck a reader needs.

Check the preview for slides with lots of text: if text overflows its box in PowerPoint, it will overflow in the PDF too.

Before you send the PDF, flip through the preview. Check that no slide is missing, that hidden backup slides are in or out as you intended, that charts and tables are complete and that any text in an unusual font still fits its box. If you chose notes pages, make sure the notes are the final version.

For a deck going to a client or a conference, name the file clearly, choose Original quality if it will be printed, and keep the PowerPoint file in case changes are needed later.
