# PowerPoint to PDF
|
||||
|
||||
Convert presentation files to PDF. Each slide becomes a page in the output document, with text, images, shapes, and transitions rendered through a browser-based LibreOffice engine. Supports both modern and legacy PowerPoint formats, plus the OpenDocument Presentation format.
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported Formats
|
||||
|
||||
| Format | Extensions |
|
||||
| :------------------------ | :--------- |
|
||||
| PowerPoint (modern) | `.pptx` |
|
||||
| PowerPoint (legacy) | `.ppt` |
|
||||
| OpenDocument Presentation | `.odp` |
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click the upload area or drag and drop your presentation files.
|
||||
2. Review the file list. Add more or remove files as needed.
|
||||
3. Click **Convert to PDF**. The LibreOffice engine loads on first use, then converts each file.
|
||||
4. A single file downloads directly as a PDF. Multiple files are packaged into `powerpoint-converted.zip`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Options
|
||||
|
||||
This tool has no additional settings. Slides are rendered at their native dimensions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Output
|
||||
|
||||
| Input Count | Output |
|
||||
| :---------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| 1 file | Single PDF download (original filename with `.pdf` extension) |
|
||||
| 2+ files | ZIP archive (`powerpoint-converted.zip`) containing one PDF per file |
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Cases
|
||||
|
||||
- Converting a presentation to PDF before sharing with an audience that may not have PowerPoint
|
||||
- Creating a printable handout version of a slide deck for a conference or workshop
|
||||
- Archiving presentations in a format that renders identically on every device
|
||||
- Batch converting a library of ODP presentations from LibreOffice Impress to PDF
|
||||
- Producing a PDF version of a pitch deck for email attachments
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Slide animations and transitions are not represented in the PDF. Each slide is captured as a static page.
|
||||
- Embedded videos will not appear in the output. Replace them with a screenshot or placeholder image if needed.
|
||||
- Speaker notes are not included in the default PDF export. If you need notes, consider exporting from PowerPoint's native "Print Notes" view first.
|
||||
- The LibreOffice engine caches after first load, so converting a second presentation in the same session is much faster.
