Not everyone has PowerPoint, and fonts, animations or layouts can look different on someone else's machine. Converting a presentation to PDF locks in exactly how each slide looks, so it opens identically for anyone — no missing fonts, no broken layouts, no software required.
MakeitPDF's PowerPoint to PDF tool converts .ppt and .pptx files into a PDF with one slide per page, free and directly in your browser.
Key takeaways
- Supports both .ppt and .pptx formats.
- Each slide becomes one PDF page, preserving your original design.
- Convert up to two presentations per batch.
- No account or software installation required.

What happens to animations and transitions?
A PDF is a static document, so slide animations, transitions and any embedded video will not carry over — each slide is captured as it appears at rest. This is expected and unavoidable for any PDF export of a presentation, not just this tool. If you need the animated version for a live presentation, keep the original PowerPoint file for that and use the PDF purely for sharing and printing.
Frequently asked questions
Will speaker notes be included?
The conversion exports the slides themselves, matching what your audience sees. Speaker notes are a separate view in PowerPoint and aren't included in this standard slide-per-page export.
Will fonts look the same as in PowerPoint?
Yes, in almost all cases — the conversion renders the slides as designed. Very unusual or custom fonts not available on the conversion server may be substituted with a similar alternative.
How many presentations can I convert at once?
Up to two files per batch. Uploading two returns a ZIP containing both PDFs.
Can I go the other way and turn a PDF into slides?
Yes — see our guide on converting PDF to PowerPoint.
