Convert a PDF to a PowerPoint (.pptx) in your browser: page images you can copy as pictures plus the text as editable text boxes. Layout is approximate.
PDF to PowerPoint turns the pages of a PDF into a .pptx file you can open in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, entirely in your browser. It does not try to rebuild the original layout. Instead it gives you the two things people usually need from a PDF: the page as a picture you can copy and paste into another deck, and the text as real text boxes you can select, copy and edit. Layout is approximate, and this page says so up front so you know what to expect.
If the page picture already contains the text and you also lay text boxes on top, every word appears twice and the two copies never line up exactly. PDF rendering gives no way to draw a page without its text, so the tool keeps the two apart: the picture slide is the faithful copy of the page, and the text slide holds the same words as editable text boxes placed where they were on the page. You can copy a picture from one slide and paste text boxes from the other wherever you like.
Approximate. The text is grouped into lines using the position of each word in the PDF, and each line becomes one text box at that position. Colours, bold and italic, tables, multi-column text that shares a baseline, and exact fonts are not reproduced: text is black and set in Arial, Times New Roman or Courier New depending on whether the PDF font looks sans-serif, serif or monospaced. If you need the exact look, use the picture slides.
Yes. In Image + text and Image only modes each page is a normal picture on a slide, so you can select it, copy it, crop it or paste it into another presentation. It is the whole page as one picture, not the individual photos inside the PDF.
A scanned PDF contains only pictures of pages, with no text for the tool to read. Run it through the OCR PDF tool first to add a text layer, then convert the result. The summary after conversion tells you how many pages had no selectable text.
A PowerPoint file has one slide size. The tool uses the size of the first selected page and scales every other page to fit inside it, centred, so a landscape page in a portrait document appears smaller rather than cropped.
No. The PDF is read and drawn by pdf.js in your browser tab, and the .pptx is assembled in memory with PptxGenJS, an open-source MIT-licensed library. Nothing is transmitted, so it is safe for contracts, reports and other private documents.
Not directly, because an encrypted PDF cannot be read without its password. If you know the password, remove the protection with Unlock PDF first and convert the unlocked copy.
