Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account or a subscription?

Universal PDF requires a Pro subscription. One subscription unlocks every tool on the site, and you can cancel anytime.

What is the difference between .ppt and .pptx?

.ppt is the binary format used by PowerPoint 97 through 2003; .pptx is the XML-based format introduced in PowerPoint 2007. This page handles the older .ppt format, so if you have a .pptx deck, use our PPTX to PDF converter instead.

Will slide layouts and fonts survive?

Yes. Each slide is rendered the way PowerPoint would display it, so fonts, images, charts and positioning carry over into the PDF. Animations and transitions don't exist in PDF, so each slide appears in its final state.

Do I need Microsoft Office installed?

No. The conversion is processed online, so you can convert .ppt files from any device with a browser. That makes it handy for opening old decks on machines that no longer have PowerPoint.
