Convert PowerPoint to PDF

It takes a Microsoft PowerPoint file and rewrites it as a PDF. A server opens the deck, renders each slide as a fixed page, and returns a document where one slide equals one page. The point is portability: the PDF looks the same everywhere, with no reliance on the fonts or software the reader has installed.

Yes. The rendering engine reads both the older .ppt format and the newer .pptx format, so you can convert a legacy deck without re-saving it first. Whichever file you upload, the output is a standard PDF. The maximum size is 50 MB per file, which covers most image-heavy presentations.

No. A PDF page is static, so motion cannot survive the conversion. Transitions, builds, and animations are dropped, and each slide is captured in its final state. If a slide reveals bullet points step by step, the PDF shows all of them at once. Keep the original deck if you need the animated version for a live talk.

Usually yes. When your slides use real text boxes, that text is preserved as selectable, searchable characters in the PDF. Text that was baked into an image on the slide stays part of that image and cannot be selected. To pull text out of an image-only PDF, run it through OCR afterwards.

No. Rendering a presentation needs a layout engine that a browser does not include, so the file is sent to loopdf's EU servers for processing. This is why a network connection is required. The file is handled in memory and deleted automatically once the PDF is ready, so nothing is stored after your download.

Most presentations finish in a few seconds. Time scales with the number of slides and the weight of the images inside them, since each one has to be rendered. Every job is given up to 360 seconds to complete. A deck packed with high-resolution photos across many slides takes longer than a plain text-only presentation.

File size comes from the images embedded in your slides. High-resolution photos and full-bleed backgrounds carry their pixel data into every page, which adds up quickly. If the PDF is too heavy to email, run it through Compress PDF to shrink the images while keeping the layout intact.

Both send an Office file to a server for rendering, but the page model differs. PowerPoint to PDF treats each slide as a fixed-size canvas and prints one slide per page. Word to PDF reflows continuous text, so paragraphs break across pages based on content length rather than fixed slides. Pick the tool that matches your source format.

Yes, in two steps. First convert the deck here to get a PDF, then use Merge PDF to join it with reports, cover sheets, or other converted files. Because everything is a PDF at that point, the pages stack in whatever order you set, producing a single document you can share or print.

Standard fonts render as expected because the server carries a common set and embeds them into the PDF. If your deck uses an unusual or purchased typeface not available on the server, the engine substitutes the closest match, which can slightly shift spacing. To avoid surprises, stick to widely available fonts in the original slides.

The limit is on file size, not slide count: each upload can be up to 50 MB. A deck with many slides is fine as long as the file stays under that ceiling. The conversion also has a 360 second time budget. Very large image-heavy files are the ones most likely to bump against these limits.

The uploaded presentation is processed in memory on EU infrastructure and deleted automatically once the PDF is generated. Nothing is kept on disk for later access. You can browse more conversions from the convert PDF tools hub if you need to change other formats too.
