Why send slides as a PDF
A PDF looks the same on every screen. Fonts that are not installed on the other computer, a different PowerPoint version or a phone viewer cannot rearrange your slides, and nobody can change them by accident.
It is also the format most printers, upload portals and email recipients expect, and it is usually much smaller than the presentation. Keep the PPTX for presenting, since the PDF has no animations or speaker view.
Questions
Do I need Microsoft PowerPoint installed?
Yes. Presentations are converted with the desktop Microsoft PowerPoint on your PC.
Are animations and videos kept?
No. A PDF shows each slide as a still page.
Can I turn slides into images?
Yes. Hold Shift, right-click the presentation, choose ZIP, then PNG ZIP or JPG ZIP. You get one image per slide in a ZIP file.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The conversion runs on your PC, and the file never leaves it.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes. Select them together, then use the same Shift and right-click menu. The dial offers the formats they can all use.
