How to use PDF to PowerPoint
- Select PDF to PowerPoint and upload your PDF through the extension.
- Dropshift renders each PDF page and places it on a corresponding slide.
- Download the PPTX and add your own annotations or presentation elements in your slide editor.
A few useful details
This conversion preserves page appearance using an image on each slide. It is useful when you need to present a PDF as a deck, reorder pages as slides, or add notes around existing content.
What to know first
The existing text, diagrams and charts are part of each page image. They are not separate editable PowerPoint objects.
Pro uploads are limited to 50 MB per file and 50 PDF pages. OCR, including automatic OCR during conversion, is limited to 20 pages. Each successful file uses one operation. Review the current plan allowance before processing a batch.
Answers for this task
Will PDF-to-PowerPoint make the original text editable?
No. Dropshift places each PDF page as an image on a PowerPoint slide. You can reorder slides and add new elements, but the original text and charts remain inside the page image.
Common questions
Can I edit the original slide text?
Not as native text objects. Each page becomes an image. You can add new text and shapes in your presentation app.
How many slides are created?
The conversion creates one slide for each PDF page, subject to the PDF page limit.
