Why PowerPoint to PDF?
You created slides in PowerPoint. Your client doesn't have PowerPoint installed. The recipient's font library doesn't have the typeface you used. They open the PPT in Keynote or Google Slides and the layout shifts. PDFs render identically anywhere with any reader. Convert your slides to PDF and ship a file that looks the same on every device.
Our free PowerPoint to PDF converter handles both .ppt (legacy, pre-2007) and .pptx (modern XML-based) inputs. Each slide becomes one PDF page. Embedded images, charts, fonts, and text formatting all preserve.

What's preserved (and what isn't)
Preserved: all visible content (text, images, charts), layout exactly as the slides appear, fonts (when embedded), hyperlinks.
Not preserved: animations and transitions (PDF can't animate), embedded videos and audio (poster frame only), speaker notes (most converters drop these by default).
Pros & cons
Pros: Free, both PPT formats, layout preserved exactly. Cons: Animations don't survive; embedded multimedia becomes static; speaker notes typically dropped.
Common use cases
Salespeople sending pitch decks to prospects who don't have PowerPoint. Educators distributing slides as readable PDFs. Conference speakers sharing decks post-event. Anyone who needs slides to look identical for every viewer.
FAQs
What about speaker notes?
By default not included — slide content only. Some PowerPoint versions can export "with notes" — set this in PowerPoint before exporting if needed, or use Microsoft's native Save As PDF for fine-tuned options.
Will my animations work?
No — PDF doesn't support animation. Each slide's final visual state becomes the PDF page. For animated presentations, share the original PPT or use a video format.
Are images compressed?
Generally preserved at original resolution. For smaller PDFs, compress images first in PowerPoint or run the output through our PDF compressor.
The bottom line
