About This Tool
Why use PPT to PDF?
Convert a PowerPoint deck to PDF so it opens the same way everywhere. The .pptx package is unzipped in the browser, each slide's text is read from its XML, and the slides are written out as PDF pages in order.
A PDF is the safe way to send a deck you do not want edited or reflowed: no missing fonts, no animation firing early, no layout shifting because the recipient is on a different version of PowerPoint. This conversion carries the text of each slide, so it is right for handouts, pre-reads and attachments rather than for reproducing a heavily designed deck pixel for pixel.
Key Benefits
One page per slide
Slides stay in order, one to a page, which is what reviewers and printers expect from a deck sent as a PDF.
No PowerPoint needed
The .pptx is unzipped and read in the browser, so you can convert a deck on a machine without Office installed.
Stays on your device
Client and internal decks are processed locally rather than uploaded to a conversion service.

PPT to PDF FAQs
Are images, charts and animations included?
No. Slide text is carried into the PDF; images, charts, transitions and animations are not. For a design-heavy deck, export to PDF from PowerPoint itself.
Does it support .ppt files?
No, only .pptx. The old binary format cannot be unzipped and read in the browser. Save as .pptx first.
Will speaker notes appear in the PDF?
No. Only the slide content is converted, which is what you want for a handout.
Is the deck uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is unzipped and converted in your browser and never leaves your device.
