PowerPoint to PDF

This tool converts a PowerPoint presentation (.ppt or .pptx) into a PDF — the same export desktop presentation software performs, one page per slide, with text, images and layout preserved. Animations and transitions do not carry over, since a PDF page is static. Free, up to 25 MB, no account, no watermark.

  • No signup
  • No watermark
  • Free at download
  • Up to 25 MB

Three steps

PowerPoint to PDFin about ten seconds.

  1. Select your .ppt or .pptx file, or drop it onto the page.
  2. It uploads to convert — this is disclosed because it is the exception, not the rule, on this site.
  3. A PDF downloads automatically, one page per slide.

Why use this converter

The reliable directionof this conversion.

Turning slides into a PDF is a native export, not a reconstruction — the same operation as exporting to PDF from presentation software, so fidelity is consistently high.

  • Native presentation exportThe same operation as exporting to PDF from presentation software — high fidelity, not a browser approximation.
  • One page per slideEvery slide becomes its own PDF page, in order.
  • Deleted after conversionYour file is removed from our server the moment the download starts.
  • Handles .ppt and .pptxBoth the legacy and modern PowerPoint formats convert the same way.

What does not carry over

A PDF page is static, so animations, slide transitions and speaker notes are not included — the same limitation you would hit exporting to PDF directly from PowerPoint or Impress. Everything visible on the slide itself converts as shown.

Want to go the other way?

Starting from a PDF and need editable slides instead, use PDF to PPT. That direction is a reconstruction rather than a native export, so it is worth reading what to expect before relying on it for a complex deck.

Word documents and spreadsheets

This page is specifically for presentations. For Word documents, use Word to PDF; for spreadsheets, Excel to PDF.

The question everybody asks

Is it really free?

Yes, with one honest exception to how the rest of this site works. Every other tool here runs entirely in your browser — your file never leaves your device. PowerPoint↔PDF conversion needs a real Office engine, which a browser cannot run, so this one tool uploads your file to a server we operate, converts it, and deletes it the moment your download starts.

There is still no account, no watermark and no payment step — just a 25 MB file size limit, because unlike the browser-based tools, this is the one operation on the site that costs us money to run.

FAQ

Questions peopleactually ask.

How do I convert PowerPoint slides to PDF for free?

Drop your .ppt or .pptx onto this page. It uploads to convert — see "Is it really free?" below for why — and a PDF downloads automatically, one page per slide.

Will animations and transitions carry over?

No — a PDF page is static, so animations and slide transitions do not exist in the output, the same limitation you would hit exporting to PDF from PowerPoint itself. Everything visible on the slide — text, images, shapes and speaker-visible layout — converts as shown.

Does this work for both .ppt and .pptx?

Yes, both the older .ppt format and modern .pptx convert the same way.

Do speaker notes appear in the PDF?

No — only the slide content itself is included, matching the default export behaviour of desktop presentation software. If you need notes included, export with notes from within PowerPoint or LibreOffice Impress directly.

What happens to my file after it converts?

It is deleted from our server as soon as the converted PDF starts downloading — nothing is kept or reused. See /privacy for the full policy.
