Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting PPT to PDF free?

Yes. This PPT → PDF converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.

Which devices and platforms can I use to convert PPT to PDF?

Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.

Are my PPT files uploaded to a server?

No. Files never leave your device. The entire PPT → PDF conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.

Can I convert multiple PPT files at once?

Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many PPT files as you like and convert them to PDF in one pass, then download the results together.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.

Will converting PPT to PDF lose quality?

No. PDF is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your PPT file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.

Will transparency be preserved when converting PPT to PDF?

Yes. Both PPT and PDF support alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas of your file are kept unchanged in the PDF output.

How will the file size change after converting PPT to PDF?

Both formats use comparable compression, so the PDF output will be similar in size to your PPT file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
