How to turn a PDF into a PowerPoint file

Open the PDF. Each page becomes a slide: each line of text is an editable text box in its font, size, colour and place, with the background, pictures and tables behind. The slide size follows the most common page shape, and the .pptx is written in your browser.

  1. Open the PDF

    Up to 200 pages.

  2. Wait for the pages

    The status says which page is being drawn.

  3. Download the .pptx

    Press Download. The slide size is 16:9, 4:3, A4 portrait or A4 landscape, taken from the most common page shape. Pages of another shape sit centred on it.

  4. Know what you get

    The text is editable in PowerPoint. Scanned pages are read with OCR, so check the words. If you only need to present, choose Pictures, exactly as the PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Not answered here? Ask Yangopen

Are the slides editable?

Yes. Each line is a text box in its place, in its font, size and colour, with the background, pictures and tables behind. Scanned pages are read with OCR, so check the words. For slides that are exact pictures of the pages, choose Pictures, exactly as the PDF.

How many pages can I convert?

Up to 200 pages in one file. A longer PDF is refused; split it first.

What slide size do I get?

The most common page shape decides: 16:9, 4:3, A4 portrait or A4 landscape. An unusual shape keeps its own point size. A PowerPoint file has one slide size, so pages of another shape sit centred on it, with bars.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is read and the slides are made in your browser; the file is not sent anywhere.

Why is the .pptx large?

With Pictures, exactly as the PDF, each page is stored as a picture about 2,000 px on its long edge (more for a large page). A page of text or line art is saved as a small PNG with a reduced palette, a photo as a JPEG, so a long text PDF stays small and sharp on a projector.
