Animations, slide transitions, and embedded audio/video are flattened out - each slide becomes one static PDF page, so motion-based decks lose all their movement.

Solve the usual PPT to PDF problems

Why are my fonts different in the PDF than in PowerPoint?

Why it happens The deck used a custom or non-standard font that wasn't embedded in the .pptx, so the renderer substituted the closest available typeface.

Fix Re-save the presentation in PowerPoint with 'Embed fonts in the file' enabled, then convert again so the exact typefaces travel with the slides.

Why did my video and audio stop working after converting?

Why it happens PDF pages are static, so embedded media, action buttons, and auto-advancing timings have no place to play once a slide is flattened.

Fix Keep the original .pptx for live playback and use the PDF only as a print/handout copy; there is no way to retain motion inside a PDF page.

Why does my converted PDF only show one slide per page with no speaker notes?

Why it happens The tool renders one slide per PDF page by design, and speaker notes are omitted unless they were explicitly included in the source layout.

Fix If you need the notes, export a Notes Pages layout from PowerPoint first, or merge the slide PDF with a separate notes document. Merge PDF →

Know this before running PPT to PDF

Can I convert both .ppt and .pptx files?

Yes, the tool supports both formats - Just upload and you’re good to go.

Will my slide layout and fonts stay the same?

They will. The converter keeps everything just as you designed it, including text, images, and layout.

Are transitions and animations included in the PDF?

No, animations and transitions won’t appear in the PDF since it’s a static format.

Is there a size limit on the presentations I can convert?

You can upload most presentations up to 50MB. Larger files might take a little longer to convert.

Do I need PowerPoint installed to use this?

No, you just need a web browser. Everything happens online, no software required.

Will the PDF have any logos or watermarks?

Nope. Your final file will be clean and free of branding or watermarks.

Can I convert PowerPoint to PDF on my phone or tablet?

Yes, the tool works smoothly on mobile devices and tablets too.

Is there a limit on how many slides I can convert?

No specific slide limit - If your file uploads, it will convert the entire presentation.

Are my files saved or shared after upload?

No.Secure upload; free-account files are retained for 30 days after their last activity.

Do I need to sign up or log in?

Not at all. Just upload your PPT file and download the finished PDF, no sign-in needed.

How long does converting PowerPoint to PDF take?

Most presentations finish in just a few seconds. Larger decks near the 50 MB limit may take slightly longer.

What happens to my speaker notes?

Speaker notes are left out unless you choose to include them, and the PDF shows the slides themselves one per page. Embedded audio and video also become inactive in the PDF.
