Convert PDF to PowerPoint

Each page of the PDF becomes a slide, in the page's order. Its text is in text boxes where the page holds it: the lines that share a left edge and a size, a line's spacing apart, are one text box, each line a paragraph of it, so you can edit, move and restyle them. Words keep their bold, italics and raised or lowered characters (a superscript, a note mark), their size, solid text colour and rotation. Words that stand a column apart (a table's columns, text set at a tab) are in text boxes of their own, each where it stands. Pictures are where the page shows them, and a drawing made of lines and shapes (a chart, a diagram, a logo) is a picture of how the page shows it, with its labels. Straight lines and rectangles that are not part of a drawing (a table's rules, a cell's shading, a frame round a paragraph) are shapes where the page has them, under the text, with their colour, width and dashes (a line the PDF draws at width 0, the thinnest a screen shows, becomes a quarter point wide), up to 4,000 a page.

No. The text is in the presentation's font, not the PDF's own: Calibri, and for Chinese, Japanese or Korean text, which is marked with its language, the font your presentation app uses for that language. So a line can come out a little longer or shorter than on the page; it is not wrapped. Outside a drawing, curves, filled shapes other than rectangles, patterns and gradients are left out (straight lines and rectangles come across as shapes), as are links (their text stays), form fields and comments. Solid text colours are kept; patterned text uses black. Text in a layer the PDF switches off is left out, as a viewer hides it.

The size of the first page you convert, between 1 and 56 inches on a side (PowerPoint's own limits; a larger page is scaled down to fit). A page of another size or orientation is fitted on its slide, centred, and the result says which pages those were. A page with an extreme aspect ratio is centred with blank space on the short side so both slide dimensions meet those limits.

A scanned page is a picture of a page with no text in it: its slide holds that picture, and its words cannot be edited, because this tool does not recognise text in pictures (OCR). A scan whose text was recognised before (a searchable PDF) keeps that text on its slide, invisible over the picture, so you can select and search it. Visibility is kept for each part of the text, so a visible stamp or note stays visible beside an invisible OCR layer. The result says which pages contain invisible text.

No. The PDF is read and the .pptx is written inside your browser; the file never leaves your device.

No. The page loads a PDF engine into your browser and every operation runs on your device. You can check this yourself in the browser's network panel: after the page has loaded there are no upload requests. Closing the tab discards the file.

No. These basic tools are free and never add a watermark. The only limits are the tool's own: up to 300 pages per conversion, one slide a page; outside a drawing, straight lines and rectangles (a table's rules, a cell's fill, a frame) come across as shapes, up to 4,000 a page (any more are left out, and the result says how many), and curves, filled shapes of other forms, patterns and gradients are left out; an encrypted PDF (one that needs a password to open, or one whose encryption only restricts what may be done with it) has to have its encryption removed first; scanned pages come across as pictures, without their text. Within them, the practical limit is your device's memory.

Encrypted PDFs cannot be processed here. Remove the password first, then use this tool.

Nothing you open or type. While the tab is open, the tool pages keep a short list of the steps taken in it, in the tab's session storage: the step (page opened, started, succeeded, first success, used again or failed), the tool's name, the time, how many files were used and, for a failure, an error code; never a file name, the contents of a file or your text. It holds at most the latest 200 steps, and the browser deletes it when the tab closes. The page never sends it. Where a Report a problem button is shown, you can attach the last 20 steps to your report; nothing is attached unless you tick that box. In local storage the page keeps only choices you made: a Light or Dark theme until you choose System again, the language you picked with the EN / 中文 switch if it differs from your browser's language, and this tool in your recently used list if you switched that list on at the tools page.
