Convert PDF to editable PowerPoint, with the layout intact

Upload a PDF presentation and get it back as a presentation in which every text, shape and image can be edited on its own, in the original layout and format. It lands in your free Slaide library, ready to download as PowerPoint.

Free account, no card. The first 3 pages free with a small Slaide badge; up to 12 pages without the badge with Plus.

PDF to PowerPoint

  1. Upload the file
  2. Create a free account
  3. Edit the presentation and download it as PowerPoint

Up to 30 MB. Without an account the file is deleted within seven hours.

In short

To turn a PDF into an editable PowerPoint, upload it above and create a free account: Slaide rebuilds every page as native slide elements, text as text boxes, shapes as shapes, images as images, in the PDF's own format (16:9, 4:3 or A4). The result is a presentation in your Slaide library that you edit there or download as a .pptx. Pages with real text are rebuilt without AI, so the content stays exactly as it was. Scanned pages and PDFs exported as pictures go through text recognition: the text comes back as text boxes in a matching font, photos as separate images. A free account covers the first 3 pages, with a small Slaide badge in the export; Plus (€7.99/month) covers up to 12 pages without it, Pro up to 150.

How it works

  1. Upload the PDF

    Up to 30 MB, on a computer or a phone. Nothing to install.

  2. Create a free account

    Google, Apple or email, no card. There is no onboarding in between: the conversion starts right away.

  3. Edit and download

    Every page comes back with text boxes, shapes and images in their original position. The presentation stays in your library; the .pptx opens in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides.

What stays editable

What stays editable
ElementAfter the conversion
Text (yes)Editable text boxes with size, colour and position; unavailable fonts are replaced by the closest match
Shapes and lines (yes)Native shapes you can move, recolour and resize
Images and logos (yes)Separate images, not one flat picture per page
Page format (yes)Kept: 16:9, 4:3, A4 or the PDF's own size
Tables (partly)Each cell as its own text box in the right place, not a PowerPoint table object
Charts (partly)Kept visually as shapes and images, not as editable chart data
Scanned pages (yes)Text recognition (OCR): text boxes in a matching font, photos as separate images

Honest limits

  • Handwriting and very blurry scans can stay pictures; proofread text recognised from scans before sending the file.

  • Tables arrive as positioned text boxes, not as a PowerPoint table.

  • Charts are kept as graphics, not as editable chart data.

  • Password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first.

More than a converter

The converted PDF is a Slaide document that you change by asking: Slaide edits the slides you name and keeps the rest of the design as it is.

  • “Translate the whole deck into German.”
  • “Turn slide 4 into a three-column comparison.”
  • “Shorten every slide to three bullet points.”
  • “Update the numbers on slide 7 with the attached spreadsheet.”

Your file

  • Your PDF goes to our storage in the EU and is converted on our servers in the EU. If you do not create an account, an automatic clean-up deletes it within seven hours.

  • Pages with real text are converted without an AI model; for scanned pages and pages saved as pictures, an image of the page goes via OpenRouter to an AI model in the USA for text recognition.

  • With an account, the file stays with its presentation until you delete it. It is never used to train AI models.

FAQ

Anything missing? Ask us

How do I convert a PDF to an editable PowerPoint?

Upload the PDF at the top of this page and create a free account. Slaide rebuilds each page as text boxes, shapes and images in the original layout; the presentation lands in your library, and you download it as a .pptx that opens in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free one: Google, Apple or email, no card. Uploading works without it; the presentation is created in your account right after you sign up, with no onboarding in between, and stays in your library.

Is the text really editable after the conversion?

Yes. Each text becomes its own text box with its size, colour and position. On scanned PDFs or PDFs exported as images the text is recognised first and rebuilt the same way; handwriting stays an image.

Can I convert a scanned PDF to PowerPoint?

Yes. Slaide recognises the text on scanned pages and on PDFs exported as pictures and rebuilds it as editable text boxes in the closest matching font; photos become separate images, flat boxes and lines become shapes. Proofread recognised text before you send the file.

Is it free?

Yes: a free account converts the first 3 pages, with a small Slaide badge in the export. Plus (€7.99/month) converts up to 12 pages without the badge, Pro up to 150.

Does the layout stay the same?

Yes. Elements keep their position, and the page format (16:9, 4:3 or A4) stays as it was. Fonts that are not available are replaced by the closest match.

What happens to my file?

It is stored and converted in the EU. Pages with real text need no AI model; only for scanned pages or pages saved as pictures is an image of the page sent via OpenRouter to an AI model in the USA for text recognition. Without an account the file is deleted within seven hours; with one, it stays with the presentation until you delete it.

What happens to tables and charts?

Tables arrive as text boxes in the right place rather than as a PowerPoint table, and charts stay visually intact as graphics rather than as editable chart data.
