Each slide's text is read straight out of the .pptx file and written to its own PDF page, in slide order.
A .pptx is a zip of XML files, and the text lives in there as text, so it can be read directly without needing PowerPoint installed or a copy of Office on a server. Slide order is taken from the file's own numbering rather than guessed. What you get is a page per slide containing that slide's words.
Images, themes, colours, fonts, animations and exact positioning are not reproduced in the PDF.
This is the important limitation and it decides whether this tool is right for you. If you need a PDF that looks like the deck — for sending to a client or printing handouts — export to PDF from PowerPoint itself, which is the only thing that can render its own layout faithfully. This page is for when you cannot open the file: no PowerPoint, no Office subscription, or a phone and a deck you need to read.
The conversion reads the slides themselves. Content stored elsewhere in the file may not appear.
Speaker notes live in separate parts of the package from the slides, and text drawn inside a picture is part of that picture rather than text at all. If notes matter to you, check the output against the original before relying on it. Text that was placed in a grouped shape or a table generally does come through, though its arrangement will not.
A file with no slides stops with an error, and an image-only deck produces near-empty pages.
Some decks are little more than full-slide pictures with text baked into them. In that case there is no text in the file to extract, and the PDF will come out mostly blank. The quick test is to open the .pptx and try to select a sentence on a slide; if you cannot, this conversion has nothing to work with.

No. This tool does not render slides. It reads the text stored in each slide and prints it in a plain black-on-white layout. Pictures, colours, backgrounds, shapes, charts, fonts and positioning are all lost. If you need a faithful copy, use Save as PDF or Export in PowerPoint itself.
Only .pptx works. The file picker accepts .ppt, but that older format is a binary file the converter cannot read, so you will get an error. Re-save the presentation as .pptx in PowerPoint first.
The converter takes each text run it finds in the slide XML and prints it on its own line, so a sentence with mixed formatting can be split into several lines. It also does not shrink or paginate: text that runs past the bottom of the 405-point-high page is cut off. Speaker notes are not included. Text is drawn in a standard Latin font, so characters outside it, such as Arabic or Chinese, may not display correctly.
No. The file is opened and converted in your browser and the PDF is created there, with no network request for the conversion.
