How to turn a PDF into slides
- Choose the document. Drag it into the area above or click to pick it.
- Pick the quality of the images that will fill the slides.
- Press Convert to PowerPoint. One page becomes one slide.
- Download the .pptx and open it in PowerPoint, Keynote or Slides.
Each slide is a picture of a page
The text on the slides is not editable, because it is part of the image.
A PDF page and a slide are different things: one is a fixed layout, the other a set of boxes with content in them. Turning the first into the second faithfully would mean guessing which marks are a title, which are a bullet, and which are decoration — and guessing wrong on every unusual document. Drawing the page instead is predictable, and we would rather be predictable than clever.
When this is the right tool
When you need to project or present a document you already have, not to rewrite it.
A report to show in a meeting, a set of pages to walk through on a screen, a PDF that has to live inside an existing deck. If instead you need to edit the words, converting to slides is the wrong direction — PDF to Word gets you text you can change.
Frequently asked questions
Is the document uploaded to a server?
No. The pages are drawn and the .pptx is written in your browser, on your own device.
Can I edit the text on the slides?
No. Each slide holds an image of the page, so the text is part of the picture rather than editable content.
What quality should I choose?
Higher quality means sharper slides and a heavier file. For projecting, the middle setting is usually right.
Will it open outside PowerPoint?
Yes. The .pptx format is read by Keynote, Google Slides and LibreOffice as well.
