FAQ

Will my slides look the same in the PDF?

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.

Does it work with old .ppt files?

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.

Why is my text broken into separate lines or missing?

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.

Is my presentation uploaded anywhere?

No. The file is opened and converted in your browser and the PDF is created there, with no network request for the conversion.
