A worked example
- Input
- A .pptx deck whose slides are full-slide exported images.
- What comes back
- A PDF with one page per slide image found in the file.
- Worth knowing
- This is the sharpest limitation on the site: the tool extracts the images stored inside the .pptx. It does not lay out slides - so a deck built from live text boxes, shapes and charts rather than images will come out incomplete or empty. For a text-based deck, export to PDF from PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides instead. Always check the result.
If it does not work
The PDF is empty or missing slides
The deck is built from live text and shapes, not images. This tool cannot render those - export to PDF from your presentation app instead.
Slides are out of order
Order follows the media as stored in the file, which does not always match slide order. Check and reorder if needed.
Speaker notes are missing
Notes are not extracted.
"Upload a .pptx file first"
Legacy .ppt is not supported. Save as .pptx first.
Nothing happens when you run it

When to use PowerPoint to PDF
Sharing a deck made of slide images
If your slides were exported as images, or the deck is mostly full-slide pictures, this bundles them into a PDF anyone can open.
Getting a picture-based deck into PDF without PowerPoint
On a device without PowerPoint or Keynote, it turns the images stored in the deck into PDF pages.
How it works, and why it matters
This is the most limited tool on the site, and it is worth understanding before you use it. It does not lay out slides. It opens the .pptx file (which is a ZIP archive), takes out the images stored inside it, and puts each one on a PDF page with pdf-lib:
- Decks that work
- Decks where each slide is a full-slide image, for example slides exported from a design tool and placed into PowerPoint.
- Decks that do not
- Decks built from live text boxes, shapes, charts and tables. Those are not images, so they come out incomplete or empty.
- Page order
- Follows the order the images are stored in the file, which does not always match slide order.
- File type
- .pptx only. Legacy .ppt must be saved as .pptx first.
What it cannot do
- It cannot render text, shapes, charts or tables. A normal text-based deck will be incomplete or empty.
- Speaker notes and animations are not included.
- Slides can come out of order. Always check the result before sending.
- The free allowance is 5 runs per day for this tool, counted in your browser and reset at midnight UTC.
The better option for most decks
For an ordinary deck, export to PDF from the app you made it in: PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides all do this in a couple of clicks and keep every slide exactly as designed. Google Slides is free and opens .pptx files, so it works even without PowerPoint.
Use this tool only when the deck is made of images and you have no presentation app available. The file is processed in your browser and not uploaded.
How in-browser processing works, and exactly which tools are the exception, is explained on the why client-side page.
Getting a better result
Check what your slides are made of
If you can click and edit the text on a slide, it is live text and this tool will not capture it.
Use Google Slides as a free alternative
Upload the .pptx to Google Slides and download it as a PDF.
Check the order
Compare the PDF with the deck before sending.
Save .ppt as .pptx
Older files must be converted first.
