PDF to PPT Converter
Turn a PDF file into a PPT presentation. The AI reads your document and writes the slides, and you download an editable .pptx file. No account is needed to convert; the download needs a free sign-in.

PPT or PPTX: which file do you get?
People say "PPT" for any PowerPoint file. Strictly, .ppt is the old format that PowerPoint replaced with .pptx in 2007, and .pptx is what this converter gives you.
A .pptx file opens in current PowerPoint on Windows and Mac, in PowerPoint on the web, in Keynote and in Google Slides. If someone insists on the old .ppt format, open the .pptx in PowerPoint and use Save As to pick it.
An AI PPT maker that starts from your own document
Type a topic into an AI presentation maker and you get slides about that topic in general. Start from a PDF and you get slides about your document: its section names, its numbers and its conclusions.
The converter first pulls out the parts that carry the meaning, such as headings, lists, statistics and closing points, then plans a deck around them. Each slide gets a heading and a few short points, so the result reads like a talk rather than a page of prose pasted onto a slide.
Convert a PDF file to a PowerPoint presentation in four steps
- Upload. Add one PDF or several. Word, PowerPoint and text files work too, and everything you add goes into the same deck.
- Set the detail. Concise for a short overview, Balanced for most documents, Detailed when the supporting points matter.
- Generate. Choose a theme and let the AI write the slides. You can switch to another theme later in the editor.
- Edit and download. Fix any wording in the browser, then use Share, Export, PowerPoint (.pptx). The download asks for a free sign-in.
Who converts PDFs to PPT
- Students turning an assigned reading or their own thesis chapter into a class presentation.
- Teachers converting a handout or worksheet into lesson slides.
- Office teams presenting a monthly report or policy document at a meeting.
- Researchers preparing a conference or lab-meeting talk from a published paper.
Before you upload
- Check that the text is real text. Try to select a sentence in your PDF reader. If you cannot, the file is a scan, and the converter will not find enough words to work with.
- Keep it under 20 MB. That is the combined limit for everything you add to one conversion.
- Trim what you do not want summarised. Appendices, reference lists and long tables take up space the AI could spend on your main points.
- Mind confidential files. The file is uploaded to SlideMaker so its text can be read. Do not upload anything you are not allowed to share.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a PDF to PPT without losing the text?
The text stays as real, editable text. It is rewritten into slide headings and short points rather than copied as full paragraphs, so the deck is shorter than the PDF.
How long does a PDF to PPT conversion take?
A three-page report took about 20 seconds in testing. Longer documents and the Detailed level take more time.
Can I combine several PDFs into one PPT?
Yes. Add several files before you generate and they are combined into one presentation, up to 20 MB in total.
Does the converter work on a phone?
Yes. You can upload a PDF and generate the slides from a mobile browser. Editing slides is easier on a larger screen.
Why does the download need an account?
SlideMaker asks for a free sign-in before any download or share. Converting and editing are open to everyone, with one conversion a day per browser.
Can I change the design after converting?
Yes. The Themes panel in the editor switches the whole deck to another theme, and every text box and image can be edited on its own.
