About the PPTX to PDF
This tool opens a PowerPoint .pptx file in your browser and writes a PDF with one page for each slide: the slide title, the text with its bullet levels, tables and the pictures, in reading order. It is a handout-style PDF, so backgrounds, theme colours, fonts, animations and speaker notes are not included. That is exactly what you want when you share the content for reading, searching or printing on few pages, and it is not what you want for a pixel-perfect copy of the design. Your file is read on your own device and is never uploaded.

Handouts versus exact copies
PowerPoint's own Save as PDF gives you a picture-perfect copy, which is large and hard to search on a phone. A handout PDF contains the words, tables and pictures in a simple layout. It is small, searchable, easy to read on any screen and cheap to print. This tool makes the second kind.
What you get on each page
A label such as Slide 2 of 14, the slide title as a heading, then the text. Bullet points keep their levels, up to four deep. Tables become rows of text, and pictures are placed after the text. Footers, dates and slide number placeholders are skipped because they would only repeat on every page.
- Slide title as heading
- Bullets with their levels
- Tables as text rows
- JPG and PNG pictures
- Placeholders for date, footer and number skipped
Getting good results
Use the title placeholder for every slide title, so the tool can recognise it. Put lists in the body placeholder rather than in loose text boxes. Text in free text boxes is kept, but it appears as ordinary paragraphs. Give important pictures a caption in text, since the handout has no speaker.
Privacy
The presentation never leaves your device. Speaker notes are not read into the PDF, which matters when slides were prepared for a presenter only. Hidden slides are included, because the file does not mark them for the handout; delete them first if they are private.
Phone and computer
On a phone, choose the file from your storage and save the PDF to your files. On a computer, drop the presentation onto the page. A deck with many photographs takes longer, since each picture is embedded in the PDF.
Good to know
The text size choice scales the body text of the handout. Characters outside Latin alphabets, such as Cyrillic or Chinese, are not supported by the PDF font yet and show as question marks, which the result page lists. Pictures in formats other than JPG and PNG, such as EMF or SVG, are skipped. A PDF keeps a deck's layout on any device, and other files may need it too. Use ODP to PDF for OpenDocument slides, Word to PDF for text documents, and PDF to PowerPoint when you need to go back to slides.

Frequently asked questions
Will the PDF look like my PowerPoint design?
No. It is a clean handout with the content: title, text, tables and pictures. Backgrounds, themes, fonts, shapes and animations are not reproduced. For an exact visual copy, use Save as PDF in PowerPoint.
Are my speaker notes included?
No. They are left out deliberately so private notes are never shared by accident.
What about charts, SmartArt and videos?
They are not included. If a slide consists only of such objects, the page says that it has no text or pictures.
Does it work with the old .ppt format?
No. Only the modern .pptx format is supported. Open an old .ppt file in PowerPoint or LibreOffice and save it as .pptx first.
Is the slide order correct if I rearranged slides?
Yes. The order follows the presentation's slide list, not the internal file names.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs on your device.
