Translate a .pptx into 26 languages — slides and speaker notes — and get an editable deck back with every shape, colour and image in place.

☁️ Only the wording is sent — your PowerPoint (.pptx) is opened and rewritten in this browser tab. The text travels to our translation service and back; the file itself is never uploaded, and nothing is stored on either leg. Why FileHugger
Retyping a deck in another language means rebuilding it: every text box moved, every bullet re-indented, half the alignment lost. None of that happens here. Each slide is a separate XML file in which the geometry of a text box is stored apart from the words inside it, so the words are replaced and the box, the theme, the master, the images and the transitions stay exactly where they were. Speaker notes are translated too, which is the part most tools quietly skip.
A .pptx deck stores one XML file per slide, with the speaker notes beside them and the theme, master and images shared across the deck. Because the geometry of every text box lives apart from the words inside it, a deck can be translated without a single shape, colour or animation moving.
Translating a presentation by retyping it is rebuilding it. Every text box has a position, a size, a fill, an alignment and a font that somebody chose; drop the words into a fresh deck and all of that has to be done again, slide by slide, usually the night before the meeting.
None of it needs to move. A .pptx keeps each slide as its own XML file, and inside it the geometry of a shape is stored completely apart from the words the shape contains. So the words are replaced and the shape is not: same position, same size, same colour, same theme, same master, same images, same transitions and animations. What you get back opens in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides as the same deck, in another language, still editable.
This is the part most tools skip, and it is often the part that matters. The notes are where the argument lives — the numbers you did not put on the slide, the answer to the question you expect. A deck handed to a colleague who does not read the original language is not much use without them. Notes are stored in their own parts alongside the slides and are translated with them.
Text length. German and Finnish run noticeably longer than English; Turkish and Russian often do too. A title that exactly filled its box can overflow it. PowerPoint shrinks text to fit where the box was set up to do that and does not where it was not, so open the deck and page through it before you present from it. This is a genuine limitation of translating in place rather than rebuilding, and the trade is worth naming: everything stays where you put it, and occasionally a line runs long.
Only .pptx — the old binary .ppt cannot be edited in place, so save it as .pptx first. Text inside charts, SmartArt and grouped drawings is not translated, because it lives in separate drawing parts. Slide masters and layouts are skipped on purpose: the only text in them is the “Click to edit Master title style” prompt, which nobody sees in a finished deck. And bullet points are short, which is the case machine translation handles worst — expect the notes to read better than the slides.
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.
Yes. Drop in as many as you like and each is translated in sequence with its own progress status, then downloaded individually or all together as a ZIP. Long files are sent for translation in batches, so a stack of large documents can reach the fair-use ceiling — if it does, the message says so and waiting a few minutes is all it takes.
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.
Usually, but not always, and this is the one thing worth checking. German and Finnish run noticeably longer than English, so a title that filled its box can overflow it. PowerPoint shrinks text to fit where the box was set up to do that, and does not where it was not. Text drawn inside charts, SmartArt and grouped drawings is not translated, because it lives in separate drawing parts this tool does not open.
