Convert PDF to PowerPoint

Put each PDF page on its own PowerPoint slide as a sharp picture (.pptx). Slides are images, not editable text.

Every page becomes one slide, drawn as a sharp picture that fills the slide. The slide size follows the first page, so A4 portrait handouts and 16:9 exported decks both come out the right shape.

Sometimes a PDF has to be shown inside a presentation: a report page in a board deck, a lecture handout, a deck someone sent only as a PDF. This converter renders every page with pdf.js, Mozilla's PDF engine, and places it on its own slide in a PowerPoint file (.pptx), scaled to fill the slide and centred.

The slide size follows the first page, so an exported 16:9 deck stays widescreen and A4 or Letter pages become portrait slides. Choose Compact (110 dpi) for a small file to email, Standard (150 dpi) for projectors and screens, or High (220 dpi) for printed handouts. The file opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice Impress and Google Slides.

Be clear about the result: each slide is a picture of the page. You can present the slides, reorder, crop and annotate them, and add your own text boxes on top, but you cannot edit the words that were in the PDF. Rebuilding a PDF's text as editable PowerPoint text boxes is guesswork that breaks layouts, so it is not attempted. If you need to change the wording, convert the PDF to Word, edit it there and rebuild the slides.

For accessibility, the text of each page is added to its picture as alternative text, so screen readers can read the slide and PowerPoint shows it under Alt Text. Switch this off for confidential notes. Scanned PDFs have no text layer, so their slides get no alternative text unless you run OCR PDF first.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Convert all pages or type a range such as 1-5.
  3. Pick the picture quality and whether to add each page's text as alternative text.
  4. Click Convert to PowerPoint and download the .pptx file.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. The file is read and processed by your browser on your device; nothing is sent to a server. The PDF engine is downloaded from this site the first time you use a tool and then runs on your device.

Can I edit the text on the slides?

No. Each slide holds a picture of the page, so the words are part of the image. Add new text boxes on top in PowerPoint, or use PDF to Word if you need to edit the original wording.

Which quality should I choose?

Standard (150 dpi) looks sharp on projectors and large screens. Compact keeps the file small for email; High is worth it only for printing handouts, and makes the file about twice as large.

Why is the file large?

Every slide carries a full-page picture, usually 150 to 500 KB at Standard quality. A 40-page PDF can make a 10 MB presentation. Choose Compact, or convert only the pages you need.

What slide size do I get?

The size of the first page, scaled into PowerPoint's limits of 1 to 56 inches. Pages of another shape are fitted inside the slide with white space around them.

Can I turn a PowerPoint back into a PDF here?

Not yet. Rendering PowerPoint files faithfully needs the fonts, themes and layout engine of an office suite, which a browser cannot reproduce reliably; use "Save as PDF" in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

The tool will say so. If it is your file and you know the password, remove the protection with Unlock PDF first, then use the unlocked copy here.
