Convert PowerPoint to PDF

How to Convert to PDF

1. 1

   Upload your presentation

   PPT, PPTX, PPTM, PPS or PPSX, up to 300 MB. Hidden slides and animations are detected before conversion.

2. 2

   Pick the layout

   Slides for a straight one-page-per-slide PDF, notes to include your speaker notes beneath each slide, or a six-per-page handout for printing.

3. 3

   Download the PDF

   Hidden slides are skipped by default unless you choose to include them, and animated builds flatten to their final, fully-revealed state.

What happens to animations and builds

A PDF has no concept of animation; a slide either looks one way or another. This tool exports each slide in its final, fully built state, the same as printing directly from PowerPoint would, rather than trying to capture an animation sequence a static document cannot represent.

Hidden slides, on purpose

Presenters commonly keep backup slides in a deck marked hidden: content for questions, not for the main flow. By default those slides are left out of the PDF, matching what an audience sees. Turn on "include hidden slides" when you want the complete deck, backups included.

Notes and handout layouts, for different audiences

The plain slides layout is for sharing the deck as presented. The notes layout renders LibreOffice's own notes page, each slide with your speaker notes beneath it, which suits handing a full script to someone else who has to give the talk. The six-per-page handout is for a paper printout an audience follows along with, not for reading on screen.
