How to PowerPoint to PDF

  2. 2Click Convert. The file is sent over HTTPS to our server and converted.
  3. 3Download your PDF. The server copy is deleted immediately.

Convert PowerPoint files to PDF that look the same everywhere

A PDF looks the same on every device, which makes it the safest way to share a finished PowerPoint file, submit it to a portal or send it for printing. This converter accepts .ppt, .pptx and .odp files and turns them into a clean PDF in a few seconds, without installing Office or signing up.

Converting office documents properly needs a full office engine, so this tool works differently from our in-browser tools. Your file is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection to our own server in Germany (EU), converted, sent back to you and deleted immediately. It is never stored, never shared and never used for anything else. Files can be up to 50 MB. The conversion uses LibreOffice, a mature open-source office suite, which handles the vast majority of documents very well.

Each slide becomes one PDF page. Animations and transitions can't exist in a PDF, so the final state of each slide is shown, and embedded videos appear as a still frame. If a font used in your document isn't embedded or available on the server, a similar font is substituted, so spacing can shift slightly; embedding fonts or using common fonts avoids this. If the resulting PDF is too big, run it through Compress PDF afterwards.

Our take

We convert PowerPoint to PDF before sending a deck to people who might not have PowerPoint, or when a conference or school portal only accepts PDF submissions.

The presentation is uploaded to our server in Germany and deleted right after conversion. We check the fonts first, because a missing font changes line breaks, and we remove speaker notes we do not want to share if the file is going outside.

The pitfall: animations and transitions do not survive in a PDF, and embedded videos become a still image. If the story depends on builds, duplicate those slides in the deck first. If the PDF is too large for email afterwards, Compress PDF usually shrinks image-heavy decks well.

Frequently asked questions

Is my file uploaded?+

Yes. Unlike our other tools, this conversion runs on our own server in Germany (EU). The file travels over HTTPS, is converted and deleted right away — never stored or shared.

Which file types are supported?+

.ppt, .pptx and .odp files are accepted.

Will the layout stay the same?+

Usually yes. If fonts aren't embedded, similar fonts may be substituted, which can shift text slightly.

What happens to animations?+

A PDF can't play animations, so each slide is shown in its final state.

How long is my file kept?+

It isn't kept. The file and the PDF are deleted from the server immediately after conversion.

Is it free?+

Yes. No sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Files can be up to 50 MB.
