Convert PowerPoint to PDF
Turn presentations into shareable PDFs while preserving slide layout and fonts.
Why convert PowerPoint to PDF with PDFWix?
- One slide per page, by default: Each slide becomes a clean PDF page at the slide's original aspect ratio (16:9 or 4:3). Handout layouts (2-up, 4-up, 6-up) will also be available.
- Fonts and images preserved: Custom fonts are embedded so the deck looks identical on every device — no font substitution, no shifted text boxes.
- Speaker notes optional: Toggle speaker notes on if you want a 'notes pages' export for prep, or off for a clean handout PDF.
- No PowerPoint required to view: The recipient just needs a PDF reader (every browser has one). They don't need Microsoft Office installed.
- Privacy first: Decks often contain confidential roadmaps and client data — files are encrypted in transit and processed in memory only.
- Free and unlimited: Convert as many decks as you need with no daily cap, no signup and no watermark on the output.

Tips for converting PowerPoint to PDF
- Open the PowerPoint to PDF tool — When the tool launches, you'll click "Select PowerPoint file" or drag a .ppt/.pptx into the upload box.
- Pick a layout — Choose one slide per page (default), or 2-up / 4-up / 6-up handouts. Optionally include speaker notes alongside each slide.
- Click "Convert to PDF" — Each slide will be rendered as a page of the PDF, preserving fonts, images and layout exactly as they appear in PowerPoint.
- Download your PDF — Save the deck as a single PDF file ready to email, archive, or print.
Frequently asked questions
Is PowerPoint to PDF available now?
Not yet — it's on our launch list and arriving soon. Join the waitlist on the page to be notified the moment it's live. As a free workaround today, you can use File → Export → Create PDF/XPS Document inside PowerPoint itself.
Do animations and slide transitions convert?
No — PDFs are static, so builds, transitions and embedded videos are flattened or lost. Each slide is captured at its final state. If motion matters, export the deck as MP4 from PowerPoint instead.
Can I export speaker notes alongside slides?
Yes. When the tool launches, you'll be able to choose 'Notes Pages' which exports each slide with its speaker notes underneath, ideal for prep and rehearsal.
Will my custom fonts be embedded in the PDF?
Yes — fonts are embedded automatically so the deck looks identical on any device, regardless of which fonts the viewer has installed.
What about handout layouts (multiple slides per page)?
Yes. You'll be able to pick 1-up (default), 2-up, 4-up or 6-up layouts to print less paper while keeping each slide readable.
Will my PowerPoint file be stored on your servers?
Where possible the conversion runs in your browser. When server-side rendering is required, files travel over HTTPS and are processed in memory only — never written to permanent disk.
