About PPTX to PDF
PowerPoint to PDF rebuilds each slide of a .pptx deck as one PDF page at the deck's own slide size. Text boxes with their font size, colour and alignment, pictures, tables and plainly coloured shapes are placed where the slide has them, and each slide title becomes a bookmark. The result is a simplified version of the deck, not a pixel-exact copy.
Decks are unpacked and rebuilt in a web worker on your device, so an unannounced pitch never passes through a conversion service. The tool makes no other network request, with one exception: a document with Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic or Hebrew text makes it fetch a font file from the app's own server, once per script; the document itself is not sent. The converter and its main font are part of the app.
How to use PPTX to PDF
- Add a .pptx file. The legacy .ppt format cannot be read: save it as .pptx in PowerPoint or Keynote first.
- Click Convert to PDF. Every slide becomes one page, hidden slides included.
- Page through the result: charts, SmartArt, gradients and artwork that lives on the slide master are missing.
- Save the PDF.
On a production
A mood board or a location recce deck goes to a client or crew who do not have PowerPoint and will open it on a phone. A PDF opens anywhere. For a pitch where every design detail has to land, PowerPoint's or Keynote's own PDF export is the more faithful choice.
Frequently asked questions
- Does the slide aspect ratio carry over?
- Yes. The PDF pages have the size of the slides, so a 16:9 deck gives 16:9 pages and a 4:3 deck gives 4:3 pages.
- What happens to animations, backgrounds and themes?
- Animations are not represented: every object appears in its final state. A plain background colour set on the slide is drawn. Theme colours, background pictures, gradients and anything drawn on the master or layout, such as a logo or footer, are not. Text therefore appears in black unless the slide gives it a colour of its own.
- Are the deck's fonts used?
- No. All text is set in the app's built-in font at the size the slide states. A text box that is fuller than its frame is set in smaller type so that it stays on the slide. The text is set in the app's built-in font, which covers Latin, Greek and Cyrillic script. For Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Arabic and Hebrew text the converter loads a further font the first time a document needs it; characters of other scripts come out blank.
- Are speaker notes included?
- No. Only the slides themselves are converted. If the notes need to travel with the deck, print the notes pages to PDF from PowerPoint and send that alongside.
