A deck that opens everywhere

Fonts, layout and slide order stop depending on the machine that opens the file.

Fonts stop substituting

A deck opened without your fonts installed reflows its text and breaks the layout you built. A PDF carries the appearance with it.

No presentation software required

The recipient reads the slides in a browser or on a phone, with nothing installed - useful when you are sending to people outside your organisation.

Easy to print and hand out

PDF is what printers and print shops expect, so a deck converted before printing comes out as laid out rather than as the printer's interpretation of it.

Send a presentation without sending the file

A .pptx is a working document. It depends on the fonts, the version of the software and sometimes on linked media, and it invites the recipient to change it. Converting to PDF settles all of that: the slides arrive as you built them and are read rather than edited.

For a deck that is being circulated for review or record rather than collaboration, PDF is almost always the right thing to send.

Print a deck as handouts

Printing straight from presentation software gives different results depending on the machine and the driver, and a deck that looked fine on screen can come out with clipped edges or missing backgrounds.

Converting first fixes the pages, so what the printer receives is what you approved. It also makes the file easy to hand to a print shop, which will ask for PDF anyway.

It still looks like your document

Convert PowerPoint to PDF in the browser

You do not need PowerPoint installed - which matters when the deck was sent to you rather than made by you. The conversion runs in a browser tab on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS.

Upload from your device, from a link or from cloud storage, up to 50 MB without an account.

Your file, handled properly

A document on its way into PDF is usually one you have not published yet. This is how it is treated.

Encrypted end to end

The upload and the download both run over TLS with modern ciphers, and personal data is stored encrypted.

Read by software, not by people

Conversion is automated from start to finish. Nobody opens your document, no copy is taken, and no backup of a user file is kept.

Yours, and only yours

The copyright and the ownership stay with you. Your files are never used to train AI models, and processing follows the GDPR.

Frequently asked questions about PowerPoint to PDF

Is it free to convert PowerPoint to PDF?

Yes. PowerPoint to PDF is free and needs no account. Files up to 50 MB can be converted without registering, and a free account or a paid plan raises that limit.

Do I need PowerPoint installed?

No. The conversion runs in the browser, so you can convert a deck someone else sent you without owning the software.

Will the fonts and layout be preserved?

Yes. That is the reason to convert - the appearance is fixed at conversion time instead of being recalculated on the reader's machine.

What happens to animations and transitions?

They are not part of a PDF, so they are dropped. What you get is the slides as they appear.

Is it safe to convert a presentation online?

Yes. The upload and the download run over an encrypted connection, and the conversion itself is automated, so nobody reads your file or makes a copy of it. No backup of a user file is kept, the copyright stays with you, and the service is run by QaamGo Web GmbH, a German company, under the GDPR.
