How to Convert PDF to PowerPoint Online (Editable PPTX Slides)

A colleague sends you a presentation as a PDF. You need to update the figures on slide 12, fix a title, and add three new slides before tomorrow's meeting. But all you have is a PDF.

Rebuilding 30 slides from scratch would take hours. Our free PDF to PowerPoint tool turns every page of your PDF into a PowerPoint slide with text you can edit, in seconds.

What You Get

• One page = one slide: Each PDF page becomes its own PowerPoint slide, in the same order.
• Editable text: Every line of text becomes a text box you can click and change, in the original font, size, and color, with bold and italic kept.
• The same look: Pictures, lines, shapes, and table borders stay in place as the slide background, so each slide looks like the PDF page.
• Mixed page sizes handled: The slide size comes from the first page. Pages with another size or orientation are scaled to fit and centered, never stretched.

Good to Know

• One text box per line: If you make a sentence longer, it won't wrap onto the next line by itself. To rewrite a whole paragraph, delete its lines and type the new text in one text box.
• Background elements stay together: Pictures, lines, and table borders are one background picture, so they can't be moved one by one. Table text is editable, but the table is not a real PowerPoint table.
• Fonts: If a font from the PDF isn't installed on your computer, PowerPoint uses a similar one, and the text may shift slightly.
• Scanned PDF Files: A scan is a picture of the page, so its slides are pictures too, with no text to edit. Running PDF OCR first doesn't change this: the words are still part of the scanned picture.

How to Convert

1. Upload: Go to the PDF to PowerPoint tool and drag your PDF in. Batch upload is supported for multiple files.
2. Convert: Click "Convert." Each page becomes a slide.
3. Download: Save your .pptx file (several files come in one ZIP) and open it in PowerPoint or Keynote.

Common Use Cases

• Updating Old Presentations: Revive PDF archives of past presentations with current figures.
• Client Revisions: Fix titles and numbers in a client's PDF deck without asking for the original file.
• Adding Slides: Insert your own slides before, between, or after the pages of a PDF deck.
• Conference Prep: Adapt a shared PDF slide deck for your own talk, with your speaker notes.

Pro Tip

For the best results, use PDF Files that were created on a computer, for example saved from PowerPoint or Word. They contain real text, which comes through as editable text boxes.
