PDF to PPTX is on the release list
Each PDF page becomes one slide, and the page image is placed full-bleed on it. That needs a full document rendering engine, so it will run on our servers rather than in your browser. It is next in the queue and it will be free.

The details
What happens when you convert a PDF to a presentation
The portable document format. Fixed layout, universal, and the reason everyone can open the file you send them. Each PDF page becomes one slide, and the page image is placed full-bleed on it. The result is a powerpoint's modern presentation format. a stack of slides, each one a page of shapes, produced on our conversion servers.
What survives
- The appearance of each page, exactly
- The page order
What changes
- Everything becomes an image, so nothing on the slide is editable
- The text cannot be selected or searched
Where it goes wrong
- A landscape PDF usually has to be rotated to fit a widescreen deck
- Speaker notes cannot be recovered — they were never in the PDF
Why anyone would do this
Sometimes a report is the right story to tell, and it is already laid out.
About the format
The portable document format.
A tree of objects describing pages, fonts, images and scripts, with a cross-reference table and a file trailer. Text and vector graphics are stored separately from the page layout.
- Where it is good
- Looks identical on every operating system and every device
- Holds text, images, vector art, forms, signatures and 3D
- Can be locked, compressed, tagged for accessibility and archived as PDF/A
- Where it falls short
- Not really editable — you change the source document, not the PDF
- Fonts and complex layouts can shift when converted back to an office format
- A file with lots of scans can be enormous
- You will find it on
- Everyone, everywhere, for everything
The thing people miss
PDF was invented as a screen format, not a print format — which is why the page sizes are in points, not millimetres.
About the target
PowerPoint's modern presentation format.
A ZIP archive of XML slide parts, one folder per slide, plus a master layout, theme, media and the relationships that connect them.
- Holds slides, animations, charts, video and speaker notes
- Opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides and LibreOffice
- The de facto language of presentations

Questions
PDF to PowerPoint questions
What actually happens to my PDF file when I convert it to PPTX?
Each PDF page becomes one slide, and the page image is placed full-bleed on it. So the PDF file is unpacked, the content is laid out, and the result is written out as PPTX. The appearance of each page, exactly survives unchanged.
Will converting PDF to PPTX reduce the quality?
For this particular conversion, not in the way you would expect. The appearance of each page, exactly — the PDF content is not re-encoded in a lossy way. The only thing that changes is the format it is stored in.
Is my PDF file uploaded to a server?
This particular conversion needs a full document rendering engine, so it is processed on our servers. Your PDF file is deleted automatically within an hour of the download being ready, and it is never opened or reviewed by a person.
Do I need an account or will there be a watermark?
Neither. There is no sign-up step, no email capture and no watermark on the output. The only limits are the ones your own device imposes.
What is the most common mistake people make when converting PDF to PPTX?
A landscape PDF usually has to be rotated to fit a widescreen deck
Why would somebody convert PDF to PPTX at all?
Sometimes a report is the right story to tell, and it is already laid out. In short: sending a document that must not change on the way
Something most people do not know about PDF?
PDF was invented as a screen format, not a print format — which is why the page sizes are in points, not millimetres.
Is this the same as converting PDF to PowerPoint?
A .pptx file is what Microsoft PowerPoint reads and saves, so PDF to PowerPoint is the same conversion as PDF to PPTX. Either way the conversion runs on our conversion servers, and there is no watermark on the result.
