How to convert PDF to PowerPoint
Why use our PDF to PowerPoint converter
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a PDF to PowerPoint for free?
Add your PDF in the box above, from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Choose Layout or Editable Text and click Convert to PowerPoint. You download a .pptx file you can open and edit in PowerPoint, Google Slides or Keynote. It's free, with no watermark and no sign-up.
What's the difference between Layout and Editable Text?
Layout (recommended) rebuilds each page as a slide of the same size: every line of text becomes an editable text box with its font, size and colour, and photos are placed where they were. Editable Text pulls the text out and reflows it into clean widescreen slides, with headings as slide titles and lists as bullet points, ready to restyle.
Is the PowerPoint editable?
Yes. In both modes the text is real, editable text in text boxes, not a picture of the page. You can change words, move boxes, swap photos and apply your own design in PowerPoint.
Will the slides look exactly like my PDF?
With Layout, text and photos keep their position, fonts and colours. Lines, table borders, shapes and charts that are drawn as vector graphics aren't copied, so pages built mostly from shapes or diagrams may need touching up in PowerPoint. If you need a page to look exactly the same but don't need to edit it, insert it as a picture instead: convert it with PDF to JPG.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to PowerPoint?
Yes. Choose Editable Text: pages without selectable text are read with OCR and turned into slide text. OCR works best on clear, printed text in Latin script. In Layout mode a scanned page comes through as a picture, because it has no text to rebuild.
How do I insert a PDF into PowerPoint?
To bring the PDF's content in as slides you can edit, convert it here and open the .pptx in PowerPoint; you can then copy the slides into another deck with Reuse Slides or copy and paste. To show a page as a picture, convert it with PDF to JPG and use Insert > Pictures.
Does the converter use AI?
No generative AI is involved. Your PDF's own text is placed on the slides, so nothing is invented or rewritten. Scanned pages are read with OCR.
Are images kept in high quality?
Yes. In Layout mode, photos are taken out of the PDF at their original resolution and placed on the slide, not re-rendered at a lower quality.
What size are the slides?
In Layout mode the slides take the size of your PDF's pages, so an A4 portrait document gives A4 portrait slides. Editable Text uses standard 16:9 widescreen slides on a dark theme, which you can change under the Design tab in PowerPoint.
Can I convert a password-protected PDF?
Yes, if you know the password. The file is marked as locked when you add it; enter the password once and the conversion continues. Passwords are never cracked or bypassed.
Can I convert several PDFs at once?
With a free account you can convert up to 3 PDFs at once (40 MB each, 120 MB in total). Each becomes its own PowerPoint file, downloaded together.
What's the file size limit?
Without an account you can convert one PDF of up to 20 MB. With a free account you can convert 3 at once, 40 MB each and 120 MB in total. A larger PDF full of images can often be brought under the limit with Compress PDF first.
How do I convert PDF to PowerPoint on a Mac or phone?
Open this page in Safari or Chrome, add the PDF and convert it; nothing is installed. The .pptx opens in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.
Can I turn the presentation back into a PDF?
Yes, once you've edited the slides, use PPT to PDF to get a PDF again.
Are my files kept private?
Yes. Files are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection, converted on our server and deleted automatically within one hour. They aren't shared with anyone or used to train AI.
