Convert PowerPoint to PDF or pictures

What the slides look like

Octoolo reads the .pptx with the same reader as its Presentations editor and draws each slide as the editor shows it: the title and text in their fonts and sizes, pictures, and shapes, on a 16:9 page 13.33 by 7.5 inches. The PDF is written by the app itself, with no printer dialog, which is why this conversion runs in the installed Octoolo app.

Animations, transitions, embedded video and speaker notes are not part of the output; a PDF or a picture is a still of the slide. Anything the Presentations editor does not read, which it names when the deck opens there, is missing here too.

Slides as pictures

With PNG pictures or JPG pictures, the slides are first drawn as the PDF and then each page is turned into a picture at the width you ask for, from 320 to 7,680 pixels; the height follows the 16:9 shape, so a 1920-wide picture is 1080 tall. PNG keeps the slide exact; JPG is smaller and fine for photos and screenshots. The pictures are named after the deck with the slide number, zero-padded so they sort in order, and come as one ZIP per deck.

Use them for a slide in a chat or an email, a thumbnail on a web page, a picture in a document, or a social post. The PDF to JPG converter does the same for any PDF, with a choice of sharpness and pages.

Why send a PDF of a deck

• It opens everywhere, with no PowerPoint and no fonts to install.
• It cannot be edited by accident, and the layout holds.
• It is smaller than a deck full of embedded media.
• It can be signed, numbered or watermarked in the PDF Editor, and merged with other handouts.
