Convert a PDF into a PowerPoint presentation
Each page becomes one slide, ready to present. To be plain about it: the slides are pictures of the pages, not editable text boxes, and the conversion runs in your browser.
- Files never leave your browser.
- No account needed
- No watermark added
- Works on any device
How it works
Step 1: Choose or drop a PDF file.
Step 2: Select Convert to PowerPoint.
Step 3: Wait while each page is rendered as a slide in your browser.
Step 4: Download the .pptx and open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
What the .pptx contains
The tool draws each page of your PDF as an image at 150 DPI (using PDF.js) and places that image on its own slide. The slide is sized to match the page, so a landscape PDF gives you widescreen-style slides and a portrait document gives you tall ones, with no cropping or stretching.
Because the slides are pictures, you cannot click into the text and edit it, and shapes and charts are not separate objects. The text of each page is extracted separately and added to the slide notes, so you can still search it and copy it out. If you need text you can edit, convert to Word instead.
Why use this tool
Looks exactly like the PDF
Since each slide is a picture of the page, layout, fonts, colours and graphics appear exactly as in the original.
Slides sized to the page
The slide takes the page's proportions, so nothing is cut off or letterboxed.
Text kept in the notes
The words of each page sit in the speaker notes, which makes the deck searchable and lets you copy passages out.
Private and free of accounts
The PDF is processed in your browser and never uploaded, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Common uses
Presenting a PDF report in a meeting
Show a finished report page by page from a presentation tool, with its slide controls, instead of scrolling a PDF viewer.
Adding a page to an existing deck
Bring a chart or a table page from a PDF into a deck as a slide image and add your own annotations and shapes around it.
Lecture slides that only exist as PDF
Open handouts in a presentation app so you can add notes, reorder slides and share them in class.
Kiosk and looping displays
Set a PDF menu, price list or poster set on an automatic slideshow that loops on a screen.
Fixed-layout content in a webinar
Load a designed brochure or infographic into the deck so it appears untouched in a screen share.
When slide images are enough, and when they are not
Slide images are the right choice when the goal is to present or circulate a page exactly as designed. They are the wrong choice when you want to reword a bullet point, restyle a template or animate individual elements, because none of those are separate objects in the file.
- Good fit: presenting finished documents, reviewing designs, classroom handouts, and looping displays.
- Poor fit: reusing slide content for a new template, translating the text on the slides or editing a chart.
- In-between: for reusing the words, take them from the slide notes or use PDF to Word.
Getting an editable deck
Automatic conversion cannot rebuild the objects of a presentation from a flat PDF. If you need to edit it, the most realistic route is to copy the text out of the notes, or convert to Word, then paste it into a new deck and use the slide images as visual reference. Better still, ask the author for the original .pptx.
Supported formats
- Input
- PDF files (.pdf), not password-protected.
- Output
- One PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) with one slide per page.
Slides are images rendered at 150 DPI; page text is added to the notes.
Good to know
- Slides are page images, not editable text boxes, shapes or charts. You can add to them but you cannot change the text that is already there.
- Text is only searchable through the slide notes; it is not selectable on the slide itself.
- Passwords must be removed first (use Unlock PDF), and for scanned pages the notes will be empty until OCR PDF adds a text layer.
- File size grows with the number and visual complexity of pages, since every page is stored as an image.
Your files never leave your browser
This tool runs entirely on your device using your browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers and are not stored anywhere. Closing the tab discards everything.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the text on the slides?
No. Each slide is an image of the PDF page, so the text on it cannot be edited. You can add your own text boxes and shapes on top, or copy the page text from the notes.
What happens to the text of the PDF?
It is extracted page by page and added to the notes of the matching slide, so you can search it and copy it. It does not appear as selectable text on the slide.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The pages are rendered and the .pptx is assembled in your browser, so the file is not sent to a server.
What size will the slides be?
Each slide is sized to the page, so it follows the PDF's proportions. A landscape page gives a wide slide, a portrait page a tall one.
Why is the PowerPoint file large?
Every page is stored as an image at 150 DPI, so long or graphics-heavy PDFs produce big presentations. Convert only the pages you need by extracting them first with Extract PDF Pages.
