Save a PowerPoint deck as a PDF.
For sharing slides with people who don’t have PowerPoint, or printing handouts.
PDF is the right format when the recipient just needs to read the slides — a board update, a deck for a client, a handout for a meeting. Animations, slide notes, and embedded videos don't carry over (PDFs are static pages), but every slide becomes a properly laid-out page. Useful when the audience doesn't have PowerPoint, or you want to print the deck without it printing speaker notes by accident.

or click to browse. PPTX up to 50MB.
Free with sign-in. Files deleted in 1 hour.
Three steps.
- 01Drop your PPTX or click to choose.
- 02We convert it to PDF on the worker — fast and exact.
- 03Download the result. We delete everything in an hour.
- Is my file secure?
- We never read your file. Conversion runs in an isolated container, and we delete the upload and the result within an hour.
- What's the file size limit?
- 50MB on Free · 200MB on Pro · 500MB on Max.
- What if my PDF is too large to email?
- Run the free PDF size check first — we’ll tell you whether your file fits in Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, and which DocShop tool will get it there. The check runs in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
- Do animations carry over to the PDF?
- No — PDFs are static. Each slide becomes one page; animations, slide transitions, and motion paths are dropped. The visual layout (where text and images sit on each slide) is preserved exactly.
- Are speaker notes included in the PDF?
- No — speaker notes are a separate property in PowerPoint, and the PDF doesn't include them by default. To print a handout with notes, export from PowerPoint directly (File → Print → Notes Pages).
- Can I convert a .ppt (old PowerPoint) file?
- Yes — we accept both .ppt and .pptx. Older .ppt files convert through the same engine; layouts and embedded media carry through but very old files may have minor differences.
- Will formatting be preserved?
- Layouts, fonts, and images come through cleanly. For signed contracts or anything going to a client, open the result once before sending — automated conversion is reliable but not perfect.
