    Why save a presentation as PDF?

    A PDF looks the same on every device, even without PowerPoint or the fonts you used. It's the safest way to send a deck to a client, upload slides to a course platform, or print handouts.

    What is kept

    • One PDF page per slide, at the slide's own size (16:9 or 4:3).
    • Backgrounds, shapes, pictures, tables and text, in their places.
    • Each slide as it looks once all its animations have played.

    What isn't (yet)

    • Speaker notes and hidden slides are left out, as when you present.
    • Charts, SmartArt, video and effects such as shadows and 3D aren't drawn, and gradients become a flat colour. If your deck relies on them, export to PDF from PowerPoint itself (File › Save as › PDF) or paste the chart as a picture first.
    • Old .ppt files need saving as .pptx first (PowerPoint or LibreOffice can do it).

    After converting

    Large decks with many photos can make big PDFs. Compress PDF shrinks them for email. To add slide numbers, use Page numbers; to put several decks in one file, Merge PDF.

    PowerPoint to PDF: questions and answers

    Are animations and speaker notes included?

    No. Each slide is saved as it looks once all its animations have played, and speaker notes are left out.

    Are hidden slides included?

    No. Hidden slides are skipped, as when you present.

    What isn't supported yet?

    Charts, SmartArt, video and special effects such as shadows and 3D aren't drawn. Gradients appear as a flat colour.

    Does it work with .ppt files?

    Save them as .pptx in PowerPoint or LibreOffice first.

    Is my presentation uploaded?

    No. The .pptx file is read and converted in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.

    Why does my chart not appear?

    Charts aren't drawn yet. Paste the chart into the slide as a picture, or export the PDF from PowerPoint, if the chart must be in the PDF.
