Share Slides Without the "Download PowerPoint" Problem

The PDF Advantage for Presentations
Fonts Don't Break
Used a custom font? In PowerPoint, viewers without that font see Arial instead. PDF embeds the fonts—everyone sees what you designed.
One Slide = One Page
Clean page-per-slide output. Perfect for printing handouts or scrolling through on a tablet.
File Size Drops
PowerPoint files bloat with embedded media. A 45MB deck often compresses to 8MB as PDF.
Read-Only by Default
Nobody accidentally moves your text boxes or deletes a slide. The PDF is locked.
Works on Any Device
iPhones, Androids, Chromebooks, Linux machines—PDF opens natively on all of them.
LibreOffice Rendering
Same engine that powers enterprise document systems. Handles SmartArt, charts, and complex layouts properly.
Converting Across Devices
Windows
Chrome and Edge work best. The LibreOffice WASM engine initializes in about 3 seconds on modern hardware.

Presentation Conversion Tips
Check Slide Transitions
PDF is static. Transitions and animations show as their final state. If timing matters, the PDF shows the end result of each animation.
Embedded Videos Become Stills
Videos in your slides convert to a single frame (usually the first frame or poster image). Consider adding a link to the video separately.
Use High Quality for Print
Standard is fine for screen viewing. If you're sending to a print shop, switch to High to preserve image sharpness at larger sizes.
Speaker Notes Don't Transfer
The PDF contains slides only. If you need notes, export them separately from PowerPoint before converting.
First Load Takes a Few Seconds
LibreOffice WASM engine downloads once (~30MB) then caches. Second conversion onwards starts instantly.
Keynote? Export First
This tool doesn't read .key files directly. Export from Keynote to .pptx, then convert that.

Slide Conversion Questions
LibreOffice substitutes fonts it doesn't have. Calibri becomes Liberation Sans, Cambria becomes Liberation Serif. The layout stays, but the exact typeface may differ.
Not directly. Export from Keynote to .pptx first (File → Export To → PowerPoint), then convert the .pptx here.
PDF is static. Each slide shows its final state after all animations complete. Sequential reveals become fully visible.
The LibreOffice WASM engine loads once (~30MB download). After that first load, subsequent conversions start much faster.
Yes. Links in your slides remain clickable in the output PDF.
Complex SmartArt occasionally renders slightly differently in LibreOffice vs PowerPoint. The structure is there, but spacing or colors might shift.
Not during conversion. After downloading, use our Protect PDF tool to add a password.
Speaker notes don't transfer to the PDF. Export them separately from PowerPoint if you need them.
Yes. Layouts defined in slide masters apply to the output. Background graphics, placeholders, and formatting carry through.
The whole presentation converts. To extract specific slides, use our Remove Pages tool on the output PDF.
