Need help?Convert PPTX to PDF Online
Turn a PowerPoint deck into a fixed, shareable PDF where every slide becomes one page that looks identical on any screen or printer. PDF locks down your layout, fonts, and images so a recipient without PowerPoint sees exactly what you designed — no "fonts not installed" reflow, no editable text, no broken templates. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically after one hour — no sign-up, no watermark.
How to Convert PPTX to PDF
- Upload Your PPTX File: Drag and drop your
.pptx(or several at once) onto the page, or click "+ Add Files" to browse. Older binary.pptdecks are handled on the PPT to PDF page. - Pick a Compression Type: Choose Screen (Best) for the smallest on-screen file, Ebook or Default for a balance, or Printer / Prepress to keep maximum image resolution for physical printing. Screen is selected by default.
- Convert: Click "Convert" and the deck is rendered slide-by-slide into a single PDF, one page per slide, with text and embedded fonts preserved.
- Download: Save your PDF. No sign-up, no watermark. Need a smaller file afterward? Run it through Compress PDF.
What Carries Over to PDF (and What Doesn't)
PDF is a static, page-based format defined by ISO 32000 — it has no model for motion, so anything that depends on playback or interaction is flattened or dropped. Knowing this up front avoids the classic surprise of a "missing video" on slide 12.
| Element | In the PDF? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Text, fonts, colors | Preserved | Fonts are embedded so the document renders the same everywhere |
| Layout & positioning | Preserved | Each slide becomes one page at the slide's aspect ratio |
| Images, charts, tables, SmartArt | Preserved | Rendered as static graphics |
| Animations & builds | Lost | Entrance/emphasis/exit effects are flattened to their final state |
| Slide transitions | Lost | Fade, push, morph, etc. have no PDF equivalent |
| Embedded video | Lost | Only the poster/thumbnail frame remains as a still image |
| Embedded audio & narration | Lost | PDF carries no slide-timed audio track |
| Speaker notes | Not included by default | The output shows slides only, not the notes pane |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my animations and embedded video disappear in the PDF?
Because PDF is a static document format with no concept of timed playback. Animations and builds collapse to their final on-screen state, transitions are dropped, and an embedded video leaves only its poster frame as a still image. If motion matters, export the deck to MP4 video from PowerPoint instead, or share a view-only OneDrive/Google Slides link so recipients see it play.
Will my fonts and layout look the same for someone who doesn't have PowerPoint?
Yes — that is the main reason to convert. The PDF embeds the fonts and renders each slide as a fixed page, so it looks identical on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or a print shop's RIP, with no "substitute font" reflow. This is exactly why PDF (and its archival profile PDF/A, ISO 19005) is the standard for handing decks to people outside your organization.
Which Compression Type should I choose?
Use Screen (Best) when the PDF is for email or on-screen viewing — it downsamples images most aggressively for the smallest file. Choose Printer or Prepress when the PDF will be physically printed and you need full image resolution; those keep more detail at the cost of a larger file. In our testing, a 15-slide image-heavy deck came out noticeably smaller on Screen than on Prepress while staying crisp on a laptop display.
Can I email the converted PDF, or will it be too big?
For text-and-chart decks the PDF is usually a few hundred KB to a few MB and sends fine — Gmail, for example, caps attachments at 25 MB. Image-heavy or many-slide decks can exceed that; in those cases pick the Screen compression type, or compress the PDF after converting. The real limit on our side is your upload size and connection speed, not the deck's page count.
I want each slide as a separate image instead of a PDF — can I do that?
Yes, use the PPTX to JPG converter, which exports one image per slide. PDF is the right choice when you want a single shareable, print-ready document; JPG is better when you need individual slide graphics for a webpage or thumbnail.
