Will it look exactly like the original?

Editable mode is close but not pixel-identical; decorative effects and unusual fonts may shift. Choose “each page as an image” when appearance matters more than editability.

Does it work on scanned slides?

Scanned pages have no text layer; use image mode or run OCR PDF first.

Which PowerPoint versions open the result?

PPTX from PowerPoint 2007 onwards, Keynote, Google Slides and LibreOffice.

Why convert PDF to PowerPoint (PPTX)

Speakers often only have the exported PDF of an old presentation. Rebuilding it from scratch is hours of work; conversion recovers text boxes, images and the slide size in minutes.

Each PDF page becomes a slide with the same aspect ratio. Text is placed in editable text boxes with the original fonts where available, and images are extracted at their embedded resolution.

How it works

Drop PDF file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
Press Convert. The file is uploaded securely, converted, and the result is offered for download.
Download the PowerPoint (PPTX).

About the formats

PDF · Portable Document Format · .pdf

The fixed-layout document standard: looks the same on every device and printer, which is why forms, invoices, contracts and reports are shared as PDF.

A PDF can contain vector text, embedded fonts, images, form fields, annotations and digital signatures.
Scanned PDFs are just pictures of pages; they need OCR before the text can be searched or copied.
PDF is an open ISO standard (ISO 32000) since 2008.

PowerPoint (PPTX) · Microsoft PowerPoint presentation · .pptx

The current PowerPoint format: slides with layouts, animations, speaker notes and embedded media.

Converting PPTX to PDF exports one page per slide and drops animations and transitions.
Fonts not embedded in the file are substituted on other machines, which can reflow text boxes.
Speaker notes are not included in a standard PDF export.
