PowerPoint to PDF
Convert PPTX, PPT, PPSX and ODP presentations to a PDF that looks the same on every device, as slides or handouts.
This conversion runs on a secure server, not in your browser.
These formats need conversion engines that can't run in a browser, so your file is sent over an encrypted connection to our conversion partner CloudConvert (ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, servers in Germany, EU). It is converted, then deleted right after your download, and automatically within 24 hours at the latest. PDFDoco itself never stores your file. How we handle files

How to Convert PowerPoint to PDF
This tool sends your file to CloudConvert over an encrypted connection for conversion; it is deleted from their servers as soon as your download finishes, and automatically within 24 hours at the latest. Every PDFDoco tool except the Office, ebook and CAD converters runs in your browser.
Sending a deck as a .pptx is a gamble. The recipient may not have PowerPoint, a phone preview may skip your fonts, and a slide that looked perfect on your laptop can show overflowing text boxes on theirs. A PDF shows every slide exactly as designed, opens on any device, and is small enough to email. It is also the format most conferences, schools and clients ask for.
PDFDoco converts PPTX, PPT, PPSX, PPS and ODP presentations with an Office-grade engine. Choose one full slide per page, or printable handouts with 1 to 9 slides per page, and decide whether hidden slides and comments should be included. Convert up to 10 decks at once, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Batch conversion

Slides or handouts: which to choose
One slide per page keeps each slide at full size in widescreen 16:9 or standard 4:3, whichever your deck uses. Use it for sharing, uploading to a learning platform, or presenting from a PDF viewer. Handouts place several slides on portrait pages for printing: 3 per page leaves space for notes, 6 per page is a good balance for revision sheets, and 9 per page is the most compact overview.
Hidden slides, comments and animations
Hidden slides are left out by default, just as in a slideshow. Turn on Include hidden slides to export backup or appendix slides too. Review comments can be included for feedback rounds. A PDF has no animations or transitions, so each slide shows its final state with all animated objects visible. Videos and audio show as their poster frame.
Make the PDF smaller for email
Decks full of photos can produce large PDFs. If yours is too big to attach, run it through Compress PDF after converting. To send only some slides, use Extract PDF pages, or put several slides on each sheet of an existing PDF with N-up PDF.
How your presentation is handled
PowerPoint files need a full Office engine that can't run in a browser, so unlike most PDFDoco tools, this one sends your file over an encrypted connection to our conversion partner CloudConvert (ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, servers in Germany). It is deleted as soon as your download finishes, and within 24 hours at the latest. PDFDoco never stores your files. See our Security page.
PowerPoint show files and OpenDocument
PPSX and PPS show files, which open straight into a slideshow, and ODP presentations from LibreOffice Impress are converted one slide per page. The handout, hidden-slide and comment options apply to PPTX and PPT files.
Pro tip: presenting from someone else's computer? Bring the PDF as a backup. It opens on any machine, and your fonts and layout can't break.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which presentation formats are supported?
PPTX and PPT from any version of PowerPoint, PPSX and PPS slideshow files, and ODP from LibreOffice Impress. For Google Slides, download the deck as .pptx first (File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint).
Will the PDF look exactly like my slides?
Yes. Fonts, theme colors, charts, tables, SmartArt and images are kept, and the slide size (16:9 or 4:3) is preserved. Animations and transitions can't exist in a PDF, so each slide shows its final state.
Can I print several slides per page?
Yes. Choose Handouts and pick 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 slides per page. The 3-per-page layout leaves room for notes beside each slide.
Are hidden slides included?
Not by default, just like in a slideshow. Turn on Include hidden slides to add them.
Can I convert several presentations at once?
Yes, up to 10 files of up to 50 MB each. Each becomes a PDF with the same name, and they download together as a ZIP.
Is my presentation stored anywhere?
It's sent over an encrypted connection to our conversion partner CloudConvert (ISO 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, servers in Germany), converted, and deleted right after your download, and within 24 hours at the latest. PDFDoco itself never stores it.
