PowerPoint to PDF FAQ

Is my file uploaded to a server?
PPTX files convert entirely in your browser and never leave your device. Legacy .ppt files are uploaded to Kordu's document conversion service because browsers cannot parse the older binary PowerPoint format directly.

What PowerPoint features are supported?
Text boxes, images, and basic shapes render well. Charts, SmartArt, animations, transitions, and complex gradients may not appear accurately in the output.

Can I convert .ppt files (old format)?
Yes. Legacy .ppt files are supported through secure server-side conversion, while .pptx files continue to convert locally in your browser.

Why does my text look slightly different?
The converter uses standard web fonts for rendering. Presentations using custom or proprietary fonts will render in a fallback font, which may affect line breaks and spacing.

Is there a slide limit?
There is no hard limit. Presentations with dozens of slides work fine, though processing time depends on your device.

Will speaker notes be included?
No. Only visible slide content is converted. Speaker notes, comments, and hidden slides are not included in the PDF.

Does the output PDF have watermarks?
No. The output is a clean PDF with no watermarks, no branding, and no added pages.

Can I convert a scanned image embedded in a slide?
Yes. Images embedded in slides — including scanned documents — are included in the output PDF as-is.

Will the PDF work on all devices?
Yes. The output is a standard PDF compatible with Adobe Reader, macOS Preview, browsers, and any PDF viewer.

Background

Convert PowerPoint presentations to a shareable PDF document in seconds. Modern .pptx files are parsed directly in your browser with JSZip, rendered slide-by-slide with canvas, and exported as a downloadable PDF with jsPDF.

Legacy .ppt files are supported too, but they require secure server-side conversion through LibreOffice because browsers cannot parse the older binary PowerPoint format directly. That fallback keeps the original slide layout and works better for legacy decks than a browser-only import.

Supported elements include text boxes, embedded images, and basic shapes. Charts, SmartArt, animations, and custom fonts will render with fallbacks. Speaker notes and hidden slides are excluded from the output.

Who is this for: anyone who needs to share a PowerPoint presentation without requiring recipients to have PowerPoint, presenters archiving slide decks as PDFs, educators distributing fixed-layout handouts, and professionals sending presentations to clients who prefer PDF. No account, no watermark, and no local install required.
