Will this work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the PDF includes a text layer (a searchable PDF). Image-only scans have no embedded text and will return empty slides. You would need OCR software to add a text layer first.

Is my PDF uploaded to any server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using PDF.js and PptxGenJS. Your file never leaves your device.

Will my PDF formatting be preserved in the slides?

Only plain text is extracted. Complex layout elements like images, tables, columns, fonts, and text styles are not preserved — each slide contains the raw text from the corresponding PDF page.

How many pages can this tool handle?

There is no hard limit, but very large PDFs (100+ pages) may take several seconds to process depending on your device's speed and available memory.

Can I edit the slides after downloading?

Yes. The downloaded .pptx file is a standard PowerPoint file that you can open and edit in Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, LibreOffice Impress, or any compatible application.

Why does each slide only contain text?

PDF to PPTX conversion in the browser is limited to text extraction via PDF.js. Images and vector graphics embedded in the PDF are not transferred to the slides.

How do I make slides that look exactly like the PDF?

Save each page as an image with PDF to JPG, then load the images into JPG to PowerPoint, which puts one image on each slide. The slides match the PDF, but the text is part of the picture and cannot be edited.

Can PowerPoint open a PDF directly?

No. PowerPoint cannot import PDF pages as slides; it can only insert a PDF as an attached object or a screenshot. Microsoft Word can open a PDF and convert it to an editable document, which is another way to reuse the text.

Quick answer
