Why share slides as PDF?
Presentations are often shared after a class, meeting or pitch, and not everyone has PowerPoint. Fonts may be missing, animations confuse viewers on phones, and large PPTX files are slow to download. A PDF of the slides opens everywhere, keeps the design intact and is easy to print as handouts.
- Sharing lecture notes and seminar slides with students
- Sending a pitch deck to investors or clients
- Submitting project presentations to a college portal that only accepts PDF
- Printing slides as handouts or keeping an archive copy

How your files are handled
Converting presentations faithfully needs a full office engine, so this tool converts on the server. Your file is sent over an encrypted connection, converted automatically and deleted together with the PDF right after the result is sent to you.
