PowerPoint to PDF runs on the Formatix platform
PowerPoint in, PDF out. A faithful conversion needs a full office layout engine, so this tool runs on our servers. It is free with a Formatix account: work email, no card, and it does not use your formatting credits.

About this tool
This free tool converts a PowerPoint presentation (.pptx or .ppt) into a PDF with one page per slide, so a shortlist deck or candidate presentation can be emailed, uploaded to a client portal or read on a phone without PowerPoint. It runs on Formatix's servers with a free account; files up to 50 MB.
How it works
- 1
Open the tool
Sign in to your free Formatix account, or create one with a work email.
- 2
Drop the deck
A .pptx or .ppt, up to 50 MB.
- 3
Download the PDF
One page per slide, ready to send.
When a PDF deck is better
- The client reads it on a phone or tablet between meetings.
- A portal or ATS only accepts PDF.
- You want the deck to look exactly as designed, without speaker notes or hidden slides travelling with it.
Where the conversion happens
Your file is sent to Formatix and converted on our servers, not in your browser, because a faithful conversion needs a full office layout engine. The result comes straight back to you as a download and is not stored on our side. Even so, the file does travel to our server; for anything you would rather keep on your own computer, the browser-only tools on this page never upload.
Questions recruiters ask
- Is it free?
- Yes, with a free Formatix account (work email, no card).
- Are animations and videos kept?
- No. A PDF is static: each slide becomes one page as it looks at the end of its animations. Videos do not play.
- How big a file can I convert?
- Up to 50 MB, one file at a time.
- Is my file uploaded?
- Yes. It is converted on Formatix's servers and comes straight back as a download; neither file is stored.
Converting CVs so you can reformat them?
If the reason you are turning a CV into Word is to retype it into your agency's layout, skip that step. Formatix reads any CV, PDF or Word, in over 40 languages, and fills your own branded template in about 30 seconds.
