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 the text boxes and the slide size in minutes.

Each PDF page becomes a slide with the same aspect ratio. In editable mode the text is placed in editable text boxes at its original position and size; in image mode each page is rendered as a full-slide picture, which keeps graphics and photos exactly as they were. The conversion runs in your browser.

How to convert PDF to PowerPoint (PPTX)

  1. Drop PDF file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
  3. Press Convert. Small files are handled on your device; larger ones are sent to our server with a progress bar.
  4. 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.
