PDF to PowerPoint

A deck that looks like the PDF: one page per slide, the words in the speaker notes.

How to convert PDF to PowerPoint

  1. Drop the PDF.
  2. Nothing to choose.
  3. Press Convert and download the PPTX.

What happens to your file

Each page is rendered as a picture at 110 dpi and placed on its own slide, so the deck looks like the PDF — fonts, layout, colours, exactly. The page’s text layer goes into that slide’s speaker notes, where a presenter reads it and anyone can copy it out. Sixty pages at most; split a longer PDF first.

The slide is a picture, not editable text: you cannot retype a word on it. That is the honest trade — every converter that promises editable slides from a PDF gives you boxes in the wrong places. Copy the words from the notes into a fresh slide where you need to edit.

Questions

Can I edit the text on the slides?

No — each slide is a picture of the page. The text is in the notes pane, ready to copy; PDF to Word gives you the whole document as editable text.

Google Slides or Keynote?

Both open a PPTX. Import it as you would any deck.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "convert",
    "options": {
      "to": "pptx"
    }
  }'

The same operation, convert — Documents into another document format: Office, text and HTML to PDF by default, or by `to` into docx, odt, rtf, txt, html, xlsx, ods, csv, pptx, odp, md or epub (Markdown and EPUB through pandoc). Images to WebP. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
