Your file
Uploaded over HTTPS to our conversion server, held in memory only while the job runs (never written to our application disk), and streamed straight back. The conversion engine (Gotenberg) removes its per-job working files as soon as each conversion completes — its documented behaviour — and no job data is retained between conversions.
Good to know
LibreOffice renders the document; files with exotic fonts or macros may differ slightly from Microsoft Office output. Macros are never executed — the engine only renders the document (LibreOffice's default security setting).

How to convert PowerPoint to PDF

  1. Click Choose files (or drag & drop) and select one or more PowerPoint files. You can also paste an image from your clipboard.
  2. No settings needed. Your file is uploaded securely, converted by a full office engine on our server, and deleted immediately after the PDF comes back.
  3. Press Convert to PDF. Each file is converted with a live progress indicator.
  4. Open the download page to save your files individually or grab everything as a single ZIP.

Why convert PowerPoint to PDF?

Decks break on other machines: missing fonts, shifted text boxes, wrong slide sizes. As a PDF, each slide becomes a locked page that renders identically everywhere — ideal for sending a deck after the meeting, submitting a pitch, or printing handouts. The conversion runs on our server and your file is deleted the moment the PDF is delivered.

What this tool preserves — and what it changes

✓ Preserved

  • One PDF page per slide, in deck order — each slide captured in its final, fully-built state
  • Everything visible on the finished slide: text, images, charts and backgrounds

↺ Changed

  • Animations, builds and transitions disappear — PDF pages are static, so every element on a slide appears at once
  • Embedded video and audio do not carry over; a PDF page can only show what the slide displays
  • Speaker notes are not part of the export — the PDF contains the slides alone

Known limits & edge cases

  • The 50 MB limit is checked in your browser before the upload starts — an oversized deck fails instantly, not after minutes of uploading
  • Fonts missing on the conversion server are substituted, which can nudge tightly-fitted text boxes — decks built on standard fonts convert most faithfully
  • Old .ppt decks and OpenDocument .odp presentations are read directly — the deck does not have to be a .pptx

Engine: LibreOffice on our conversion server (Gotenberg). These statements describe the engine as shipped on 2026-10-02 — behaviour changes are recorded in the changelog.

About the formats

What is a PowerPoint file?

PowerPoint decks depend on the viewer having compatible software and fonts — a recipe for broken layouts on other machines. As a PDF, every slide becomes a fixed page that looks identical everywhere: perfect for sharing decks after a meeting, submitting pitches, or printing handouts. OpenDocument (.odp) presentations are accepted too.

What is a PDF file?

PDF is the universal document format: it locks layout, fonts and images so a file looks identical on every device and printer. Scans, invoices, forms, e-books and reports all travel as PDF. Because a PDF is a container rather than an image, turning its pages into JPG or PNG pictures — or bundling pictures into a PDF — are among the most common file tasks there are.

Decks that arrive intact

A presentation leaves your control the moment it’s sent: different PowerPoint versions, missing fonts and Keynote/Slides imports all quietly reshuffle layouts. PDF removes the variables — every slide becomes a fixed page that looks exactly as designed, opens instantly without office software, and can’t be accidentally nudged out of alignment by a reader’s click.

It’s the right format for decks whose job continues after the meeting: sales materials, lecture slides, board packets, portfolios. The server-side office engine renders each slide faithfully (uploads deleted right after conversion; up to 50 MB), producing one page per slide. Two things by design don’t travel into a PDF — animations and speaker notes — so consider the PDF your distribution copy and the .pptx your performance copy.

Frequently asked questions

Is this PowerPoint to PDF converter free?

Yes — there is no sign-up, payment or watermark. Server-processed tools use the published file-size, duration and fair-use limits so jobs remain available to everyone; those are technical safeguards, not a paid tier.

Can I convert multiple PowerPoint files at once?

Yes. Select or drop as many files as you like — each one is converted in sequence with its own progress status, and you can download the results individually or all together as a ZIP archive.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

Yes — this tool needs a full office engine, so your file is sent to our server over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, converted there, and deleted immediately after the PDF is delivered. It is never read for any other purpose, never shared, and never stored. Files up to 50 MB are accepted.

What happens to animations and transitions?

PDF pages are static, so each slide is captured in its final state — builds, transitions and embedded videos do not carry over. Everything visible on the finished slide (text, images, charts, backgrounds) is preserved exactly.
