Step by step
How to convert PowerPoint to PDF
Presentations exist to be sent as much as shown: emailing the deck to attendees before or after the meeting, submitting slides as part of an application or assignment, sharing with colleagues who don't have PowerPoint (or have a version that butchers your fonts), posting a deck publicly where editing rights would be risky, or archiving exactly what was presented — animations, live edits and font surprises included out.
Drop your presentation
Drag your .pptx (or classic .ppt) into the box above, or click to browse for it.
Click “Run PowerPoint to PDF”
Conversion runs automatically on our server — each slide becomes one PDF page, sized to your slide dimensions, following your theme's fonts and colors.
Download the PDF
You receive a .pdf with the same name as your deck — every slide in order, looking the way you designed it, on every device it lands on.
Share it knowing it's frozen
The PDF can't be edited, re-flowed or show different fonts on someone else's laptop. Perfect for sending — and if you need to present with animations, bring the original file to the podium.
Why PDFication
Why use PDFication to convert PowerPoint presentations to PDF?
Processed securely, then deleted
The conversion runs on our server — presentations need real processing power. Your file crosses over an encrypted connection, converts automatically, and is deleted immediately after. Never stored, never seen.
One slide, one page — exactly as designed
Slide order, dimensions, colors and layout are preserved page-for-page. Your 16:9 widescreen deck becomes widescreen PDF pages — not letter-sized paper with slides floating in the middle.
Font drama ends at conversion
The number-one deck killer — your fonts missing on someone else's machine — disappears in a PDF: text is frozen as rendered, so every recipient sees the typography you chose.
New and old formats
Modern .pptx and legacy .ppt both convert, covering everything from yesterday's team meeting to the decade-old deck in the archive.
Choosing the right tool
Presenting live, or sending it out?
A PDF is the right format for most deck moments — but not all. Know which one you're in:
Sending → PDF, always
Emails, submissions, postings, archives: the PDF guarantees every recipient sees your design, not a PowerPoint-rendering lottery. This tool is that step.
Presenting live → keep the .pptx
Animations, transitions, embedded videos and presenter view only work in PowerPoint itself. Convert a copy for sharing; present from the original.
Handouts & notes
The PDF contains the slides — your speaker notes stay in the .pptx, which is usually exactly what an audience should receive: the slides, not your talking points.
Recipients need pages, not slides?
If the target system expects standard paper pages rather than slide-sized ones — or the deck is image-heavy and oversized — Compress PDF also rescales and slims the result in one pass.
The workflow professionals use: present from the original, share the PDF, archive the PDF as the permanent record of what was actually shown. When several decks become one handout, [Merge PDF](merge-pdf) joins them slide-perfect.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
▸Does the PDF keep my slide design, fonts and colors?
Yes — each slide is rendered and frozen as designed: layout, theme, colors and fonts travel intact into the PDF. The one caveat is unusual fonts: if a typeface isn't installed in the conversion environment, a close substitute may appear. Standard and embedded fonts convert faithfully.
▸What happens to animations and transitions?
They don't convert — PDF is a static format, and builds, fades and fly-ins have no equivalent. Everything ends in its final visible state: a bullet list shows all its points, not the reveal-one-at-a-time version. For live presenting with animations, use the original .pptx; the PDF is the sharing copy.
▸Are speaker notes included in the PDF?
No — the PDF contains the slides only. That's usually desirable: your audience gets the visuals, your talking points stay private in the .pptx. If you need a notes-included handout, PowerPoint itself can print “Notes Pages” to PDF from its own print dialog.
▸Why does each PDF page look like a slide instead of A4 paper?
Because slides *are* the page size — a widescreen deck produces widescreen PDF pages, matching your design exactly. If you specifically need standard paper-sized pages (some submission portals do), slide-sized PDFs still print fine; the printer scales them to fit.
▸Is my presentation uploaded to a server?
Yes — presentation conversion is server-side, since rendering PowerPoint files needs more power than a browser has. Your deck crosses over an encrypted connection, converts automatically, and is deleted right after conversion. Never stored, never viewed.
▸Can I convert just some slides, or multiple decks at once?
The tool converts the whole deck, one file per run. To share only part of a deck, convert the full version and keep the pages you need with the Extract Pages tool — and to combine several decks into one handout, convert each, then merge the PDFs in order.
