How do I convert a presentation to PDF?

Upload the file, convert, and download the resulting PDF.

No. A PDF is static, so each slide appears in its final state.

Are speaker notes included?

The conversion renders the slides themselves, not a notes-page layout.

Is the file uploaded?

Yes, this conversion runs on an external service and the file is removed from temporary storage once converted.

Can I convert a PDF back to slides?

Yes, with PDF to PowerPoint, although editability is limited.

PowerPoint to PDF

Turn a deck into a PDF with one slide per page, keeping embedded fonts, images and speaker layout as designed.

Converted by Microsoft's document service, then deleted straight away.

This tool is not browser-only

Office documents cannot be rendered inside a browser, so your file is sent to Microsoft's conversion service. The temporary copy is deleted the moment the PDF is produced, and PDFSolution never stores your document.

Drop a presentation

.PPTX, .PPT, .ODP · up to 20 MB per file · single file

Files are processed in your browser and never uploaded.
