PDF to PowerPoint: Turn PDF Pages into Slides

A PDF is a finished document. A presentation is something you arrange, present and change for each audience. If your catalogue, brochure or report exists only as a PDF, this tool puts its pages into a presentation file so you can work with them in PowerPoint. Here is how it works and where it helps.

What PDF to PowerPoint does

You add one or more PDFs and get a presentation for each. The slides follow the page order of the PDF. One option joins all the results into a single presentation.

This tool runs on our servers. The file is uploaded, converted, and deleted after 30 minutes.

• Accepts PDF files, one or many at a time.
• Each PDF page becomes one slide.
• Option: Combine results into one presentation. It is off unless you tick it.
• Free, with no sign-in.

How to use it

If you need only a few pages from a long PDF, pull them out with Extract PDF pages first. The presentation will be shorter and easier to handle.

• Open PDF to PowerPoint and choose your PDFs, or drop them on the page.
• Tick Combine results into one presentation if you want a single file.
• Press Convert to PowerPoint. The files are converted on our servers.
• Download the presentations.
• Open the file in PowerPoint, then reorder, remove or add slides as you need.

How it helps sellers

Meetings with buyers go better with slides. When you pitch to a retailer, a distributor or a corporate gifting client, you want to show your best products first and skip what is not relevant to them. With the catalogue pages as slides, you can arrange a different deck for each meeting.

It is also a quick way to bring material from several sources together. A supplier brochure, your own price sheet and a page of customer policies can be converted together and combined into one presentation.

• Build a buyer pitch from an existing catalogue PDF.
• Pick pages from a supplier brochure and present them to your own customers.
• Add an opening slide and a contact slide around converted pages before a trade fair.
• Turn a monthly sales report PDF into slides for a review with your team or partners.

Tips for a clean result

PDF pages and slides have different shapes, so look at each slide once before you present.

• Landscape PDF pages usually sit better on a slide than tall portrait pages.
• Convert only the pages you need, so the deck stays short.
• Go through every slide in PowerPoint and fix anything that moved.
• When the deck is final, use PowerPoint to PDF to make a copy for sharing.
