About the PDF to PowerPoint
PDF to PowerPoint draws every page of your PDF as a picture and places it on its own slide in a .pptx file. Each slide takes the shape of its page, so portrait and landscape documents both fit. If you like, the text of the page is copied into the speaker notes of that slide, which gives you something to read from or search. The slides are pictures, so the text and shapes on them cannot be edited in PowerPoint. Links, animations and fonts are not carried over, and big PDFs make big files. The conversion runs in your browser, and the PDF is never uploaded.

How to use the PDF to PowerPoint
- 1Select the PDF, or drop it on the page.
- 2Choose all pages or type a range such as 2-9.
- 3Pick the picture quality: Small file, Standard or High.
- 4Keep the speaker notes option on if you want the page text on each slide.
- 5Press Convert to PowerPoint, wait for the last page, then download the .pptx.
How each page becomes a slide
Your browser renders each page onto a canvas and saves it as a JPEG picture. That picture is stretched to fill one slide, and the slide has the same width-to-height ratio as the page, so nothing is cropped or squashed. A4 and Letter pages give tall slides, and landscape pages give wide ones.
Standard quality makes the longer side of each picture 1,600 pixels, High makes it 2,400 pixels and Small file 1,100 pixels. Pages are drawn one at a time so that memory stays low.
Editing after converting
Because the slides are pictures, PowerPoint sees no text boxes to change. You can still add your own text boxes, arrows, highlights and a new title on top of a slide, reorder or delete slides, and record a talk over them.
When you need the text itself, open the notes pane: with the speaker notes option on, the words of that page are already there. For a plain text copy of the whole document use PDF to Text, or for an editable document use PDF to Word.
Choosing picture quality
- Small file: emails, chat apps and older phones.
- Standard: everyday slides shown on a screen or projector.
- High: small print, maps, charts and pages you plan to zoom into.
- Convert a range first to see how large the file becomes before doing the whole PDF.
- Use Split PDF to cut a long document into parts, and convert each part.
Presenting from your phone or laptop
The .pptx file opens in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides, and most phones can present it through the PowerPoint or Slides app. Big decks can run out of memory while converting on a phone, so keep them to about 60 pages there, or use Small file.
Nothing is kept once you close the page, so download the file before you leave. If the PDF is protected with a password, unlock it first, because the browser cannot draw pages it cannot open.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the text in the slides?
No. Each slide holds a picture of the page, so the words are part of the image. The text is copied into the speaker notes, where you can select and copy it, and you can paste it into new text boxes if you want to rebuild the slide.
Why does the PowerPoint file look large?
Every slide stores a full picture of the page, and pictures take much more space than text. Choose Small file quality, convert fewer pages, or compress the finished file with a presentation program to shrink it.
Does it work with Google Slides?
Yes. Upload the .pptx to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides, or use File, Import slides inside Slides. The pictures and the notes come through, but the text stays part of the pictures there too.
Are my slides uploaded?
No. Your browser draws the pages and packs the slides into the file on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server, so confidential decks and reports stay with you.
Can I convert only some pages?
Yes. Choose Only some pages and type numbers or ranges such as 1, 4-8. Only those pages become slides. A single run handles up to 200 pages, so split longer documents into ranges.
What quality should I choose?
Standard is right for most documents and presenting on a laptop screen. Choose High for pages with tiny print or detailed drawings, and Small file when you need to email the deck or your phone struggles with the size.
