PowerPoint to PDF
Convert a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx) to PDF locally in your browser — one PDF page per slide, with selectable text. Best-effort conversion: text boxes, pictures, and simple shapes convert, but animations, transitions, charts, SmartArt, and complex effects are not preserved, and fonts are substituted. Legacy .ppt files are not supported.
Your files stay on your device. Processing happens locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
How it works
- Select your .pptx deck — drag it into the drop zone or click to browse.
- Convert — each slide is laid out as one PDF page at its original size.
- Check the advisory notes for skipped effects or placeholder images.
- Download the PDF version of your deck.
Why local processing?
PowerPoint to PDF processes your file inside your browser, on your own device. Your document is not uploaded to our servers. The browser may download code needed to run the tool, but those requests do not contain your file.
Check it yourself: open your browser’s network tab while a file is being processed — your document never appears in any request.
Frequently asked questions
- Is my presentation sent to a server?
- No. The deck is unzipped and redrawn as PDF pages right in your browser. A glance at the network tab while converting shows no outgoing file data.
- How large can the deck be?
- Each file can be up to 200 MB. Processing happens in your browser and also depends on available memory. Large or complex files may be slow or exceed your device’s resources even below this limit.
- Is it OK for GDPR-relevant presentations?
- Yes, in the decisive respect: no server-side processing occurs, so the deck never leaves your machine during conversion.
- Do animations and transitions survive?
- No — the output is a static PDF, one page per slide. Animations, transitions, video, and audio have no PDF equivalent and are reported as advisory warnings instead.
- Why do some images appear as labeled placeholder boxes?
- Those are WMF/EMF vector images (common in older decks), which browsers cannot decode. Rather than silently dropping them, the tool draws a labeled box at the exact position and size.
- Are old .ppt files supported?
- No. Legacy .ppt and password-protected files are refused with a clear message — re-save the deck as .pptx first.
