PDF to PowerPoint — Reuse It as Presentation Material
To use material received as a PDF in a talk, you need to move it onto slides. This tool places each page as an image sized to the slide and makes a PPTX file.
On top of that, turning on "include text boxes" lays the characters extracted from the page over their original positions as text boxes. You can fix wording or copy it to another slide.
This approach has the advantage that the original layout shows as-is, but the background is an image, so you can't edit the background itself. It's best to know what does and doesn't work before using it.
Limits of this tool
- Each page goes in as an image. The background image itself can't be edited in the slide.
- Turning on text boxes can overlap the image's characters. If needed, delete the background image.
- The slide size is based on the first page, so a document with mixed page sizes may be off in places.
- Converting a document with many pages at high resolution makes the file large and takes a while.

How are your files handled?
Page rendering and PPTX creation both happen in your browser. The document is never sent to a server.
Selected files open only in your browser's memory, and results are handed straight to your device when you save. Close the tab and any remaining data is gone with it. See the Privacy Policy and File Retention Policy for details.
