Will animations and transitions appear in the PDF export?

PDF is a static format — animations, transitions, and embedded videos flatten to the current slide state at export time. Build a PDF handout from your final slide content, not a playable deck. For interactive demos, share the original PPTX separately while using PDF for printable attendee packets.

Can I create a PDF handout with multiple slides per page?

Choose handout layouts that place two, four, or six slides per sheet when the tool offers layout presets — ideal for workshop packets and syllabus supplements. Verify font sizes remain readable at smaller thumbnails before printing hundreds of copies. Compress PDF afterward if email size limits apply to the handout file.

Does Rankify upload my PowerPoint file during conversion?

No. PPTX files are parsed and rendered in browser memory on your device. Strategic plans, financial forecasts, and M&A slides stay private — a requirement for boards that prohibit cloud upload tools. Disconnect after loading rankify.in and conversion continues without network dependency.

Can I convert PPTX to PDF on iPhone before a meeting?

Yes. Open PowerPoint to PDF in mobile Safari, select your deck from Files or cloud apps, and download the PDF to share via AirDrop or email. Complex charts are easier to validate on desktop previews, but last-minute exports work reliably on modern phones for typical ten-slide updates.

How do fonts in custom corporate themes survive PPTX to PDF conversion?

Embedded fonts in the PPTX improve fidelity during render. If a font is missing on your system, substitutes may appear — open the source in PowerPoint to embed fonts before conversion when brand guidelines require exact typography. Rankify preview helps catch substitution issues before you send PDFs to executives.

What is the difference between PowerPoint to PDF and printing slides to PDF?

Rankify works without PowerPoint installed and produces consistent output across machines — valuable for Linux users and Chromebook classrooms. Browser-based export avoids Microsoft cloud print routing and keeps files local. Layout presets target distribution scenarios instead of whatever your printer driver decides.

Can I merge the PDF with other documents after converting slides?

Yes. Use Merge PDF to append speaker bios, data appendices, or contract terms after the slide PDF. Add Page Numbers PDF for unified pagination across combined packets. Protect PDF encrypts sensitive forecasts before investor distribution.

Why does the tool reject my .ppt file?

Only .pptx is supported. Open the deck in PowerPoint or LibreOffice Impress and save as .pptx before converting.

Will animations and transitions appear in the PDF?

PDF captures static slide layouts. Animations, transitions, and embedded video do not play in the exported file.

Can I preview slides before exporting?

Yes. Slide preview lets you spot layout issues before downloading the PDF.

Which orientations work best for widescreen slides?

Landscape Letter or A4 usually fits 16:9 slide content better than portrait — confirm in preview.

Will speaker notes export to the PDF?

Notes pages are not the default output — the tool exports slide visuals as they appear in slide preview mode.

Can I compress the PDF after converting a image-heavy deck?

Yes. Photo-rich slides produce large PDFs — run Compress PDF if you need a smaller attachment.

Is the PPTX uploaded to a server?

No. Conversion runs locally in your browser.

Can recipients edit the PDF like the original deck?

PDF is for viewing and printing. For editable slides share the PPTX or use PDF to PowerPoint for a raster slide rebuild.

How many slides can I convert at once?

Practical limits depend on device memory. Large decks convert more reliably on desktop browsers.

Can I watermark the slide PDF for review?

Use Add Watermark PDF to stamp DRAFT across slides before external review.

Should I use PDF or PPTX when emailing a client?

PDF locks layout for clients who should not edit content. PPTX when they need to customize slides.

Can I merge this PDF with an appendix?

Yes. Export slides to PDF, then Merge PDF with appendix documents.

PowerPoint to PDF

Why convert PowerPoint to PDF

Investors should review slides, not rearrange them. PowerPoint to PDF turns .pptx decks into a fixed PDF handout — fonts and layout preserved, file size often smaller than emailing the raw presentation.

A4 or Letter sizing

Convert on a Chromebook or Mac without Microsoft Office installed.

How it works

How to use PowerPoint to PDF

Follow these steps in the converter above — the UI matches this workflow.

1
Open Your PPTX Presentation File
Select a PowerPoint file from your device. Rankify processes it locally without uploading to servers.
Tip: Double-check file order before processing — reordering after export wastes time.
2
Preview Slides Before Export
Scroll through slides to verify fonts, charts, and images will appear correctly in the PDF output.
Tip: Preview the output once in your normal PDF viewer before sending to clients or portals.
3
Choose PDF Layout Options
Select slide-per-page or handout layouts optimized for printing, emailing, or archival distribution.
Tip: On mobile, use Files or gallery pickers and confirm the last page in the queue.
4
Download the PDF Presentation
Save a portable PDF version recipients can open without PowerPoint installed on their devices.
Tip: If the result exceeds upload limits, run Compress PDF on the finished file.

Formats

Supported file types

Inputs and outputs for PowerPoint to PDF — based on the live converter.

PPTX.pptx

PPTX is accepted as input for this workflow. Upload a .pptx presentation — legacy .ppt is not supported. Preview slides, set A4 or Letter page size and orientation, then export a PDF locally in your browser with one PDF page per slide layout. Use sources exported directly from the app that created them when possible — re-saving through unrelated tools can flatten layers or strip metadata you may need later.

Use it for

PPTX exports from your authoring app
Files that open correctly in your browser preview
Single-document sessions on desktop or mobile

PDF document. Note: .ppt (legacy) not supported — only .pptx.

Privacy

Privacy and security

How PowerPoint to PDF handles your files in the browser.

Rankify PowerPoint to PDF is built for people who need a result now but do not want documents sitting on a stranger's server. Load the page, add files, process, download — the bytes stay in browser memory on your machine. We do not track file contents for conversion purposes. Treat the downloaded PDF like any sensitive file: share only with intended recipients and store it according to your retention rules.

Browser-side processing

Documents decode and export happen in your tab using client-side code, not a remote rendering farm.

No upload storage

We do not keep copies of your PDFs on server disks after the tab closes.

No registration gate

There is no login step that links your identity to the files you process.

Sensible for sensitive work

Local processing fits policies that discourage sending PII to unknown SaaS converters.
