Have a PDF you need to present or add to a deck? Upload it and every page becomes its own slide in a PowerPoint file, ready to rearrange and present.
How to use the PDF to PowerPoint Converter
- Upload your PDF.
- Press PowerPoint to create the slides.
- Download the PPTX and open it.
What to expect
One page, one slide
Your pages stay in the same order, with each one on its own slide.
Looks like the original
Pages are placed as high-resolution images at 200 DPI, so fonts and layouts can't shift.
What you can edit
You can reorder slides and add text or shapes on top. The page text itself is part of the image and can't be edited.
Good reasons to turn a PDF into slides
A PDF is awkward to present from, and dropping it into a meeting usually means scrolling through it. As a slide deck it works with your presenter tools, and you can mix its pages with your own slides.
- Presenting a report or brochure that only exists as a PDF.
- Adding pages from a PDF to an existing deck.
- Writing notes or arrows on top of a page for a lesson.
- Reordering or removing pages before a meeting.
How this converter builds your slides
This tool focuses on keeping each page looking right. Every page is rendered at 200 DPI and placed on its own slide. The slide size is taken from the first page of your PDF, so the proportions match. Because each page is an image, nothing can reflow, and fonts can't be swapped.
| You want to... | Possible here? |
|---|---|
| Present pages exactly as they look | Yes |
| Reorder, delete or duplicate slides | Yes |
| Add new text, arrows or shapes on top | Yes |
| Add speaker notes | Yes |
| Edit the original words on the page | No. Use PDF to Word for that |
Need to change the wording?
If you need to edit the text, convert with PDF to Word first, make your changes, and copy the content into your slides. If you only want a picture of a page or two, PDF to PNG gives you images to place wherever you like.
Tips for better slides
- PDFs in A4 or Letter are portrait, so the slides will be too. Landscape PDFs suit projectors better.
- If page sizes vary, check that later pages fit, as the slide size comes from the first page.
- Add a short title slide of your own to introduce the pages.
- Small print is hard to read on a projector, so use a zoom or crop on the important part.
Back to PDF
When your deck is ready to hand out, PowerPoint to PDF turns it into a single file anyone can open. More options are on the PDF tools page.
If your slides don't look right
| What you see | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait slides | Your PDF pages are portrait | That matches your PDF. Use a landscape PDF for wide slides |
| A later page looks stretched | Page sizes vary within the PDF | Slide size comes from page one, so resize that image |
| A large PPTX file | Each slide holds a detailed image | Delete unused slides or use PowerPoint's Compress Pictures |
| An error when converting | A damaged or protected file | Remove the password, or save a fresh copy, and try again |
Adding PDF pages to an existing deck
- Convert your PDF here and open the PPTX.
- In the thumbnail panel, select the slides you want and copy them.
- Paste them into your main deck, and choose Keep Source Formatting.
- Check how they fit, as your deck may use a different slide size.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a PDF into PowerPoint slides?
Upload the PDF and press PowerPoint. You get a PPTX with one slide for each page.
Can I edit the text on the slides?
Not the original text, as each page is an image. To edit wording, use PDF to Word instead.
Does it work in Google Slides?
The PPTX is a standard file, so you can import it into Google Slides.
What happens to my PDF?
Your files are only used for the conversion and are deleted from the server afterwards.
Why can't I edit the text on my slides?
Each page is placed as a high-resolution image, which keeps the layout exact. You can add new text on top, but the original words are part of the picture.
How big will the slides be?
The slide size is taken from the first page of your PDF.
Can I use the slides in Keynote?
PPTX is a widely supported format, so you can open it in Keynote or Google Slides.
Can I convert only some pages?
The whole PDF is converted. Delete the slides you don't need afterwards.
