How to Convert a PDF to PowerPoint

Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team

This does not recreate the PDF's pages as slide images — it drafts a new presentation from the document's text, which you then edit and refine in PowerPoint.

Step-by-step

  1. 1Open PDF to PowerPoint and upload a PDF with extractable text.
  2. 2Choose a slide count and theme. Up to 55,000 extracted text characters are used to draft a title and slide outline.
  3. 3Download the .pptx file and open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote to add notes, animations, or edit the layout.
Review before presenting

The outline is AI-generated from your document's text — check it against the source PDF before presenting, especially for figures and numbers.
