Is the deck built on my machine, or does the PDF get uploaded?

The PDF gets uploaded. Building an editable deck takes a full office engine, so the file goes to our server, LibreOffice converts it, and the .pptx returns to you. The link is encrypted and the server copy disappears as soon as the job ends. LittlePDF's never-uploaded promise belongs to its in-browser tools, not to a server conversion such as this.

Will I get editable slides or just pictures?

You get real slides, one per PDF page, with text and images placed as editable objects rather than a single flattened image. How cleanly each element comes apart depends on how the source PDF was built; text-based PDFs separate better than ones that are essentially scanned pages.

Are animations, transitions, and speaker notes kept?

No, and that is a limit of the format, not the tool. A PDF stores a static layout with none of those things, so there is nothing to recover. You get the visual content of each slide back in editable form; any motion or notes from the original presentation would need to be re-added.

How much does a deck cost, and what is the size limit?

Building a deck spends 3 credits. Free accounts hold 500 credits a day, which works out to about 160 conversions, with a 25 MB upload limit. Pro ($6.99/mo, or $4.99/mo billed annually) takes that limit up to 500 MB.

Is the uploaded PDF kept after the deck is made?

Once the deck is generated we keep no copy of the upload, and nothing about it is reused. On a server conversion the protection is encrypted transit plus our holding on to nothing, instead of the never-leaves-your-device guarantee that backs LittlePDF's client-side tools.

Encrypted in transit, processed in memory, and we keep no copy.

PDF to PowerPoint conversion turns a fixed-layout PDF into an editable presentation (.pptx), placing the content of each page onto its own slide as editable text and images. Because a PDF stores only a static layout, the result captures the look of each slide but not animations, transitions, or speaker notes.

Key Facts

LittlePDF PDF to PowerPoint is a server-side conversion: the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection, converted by LibreOffice (run via Gotenberg), and no copy of it stays on our side.

Each PDF page becomes an editable slide with text and images placed as objects; animations, transitions, and speaker notes cannot be recovered because a PDF does not store them.

Each deck costs 3 credits. A free plan grants 500 credits daily and a 25 MB ceiling, whereas Pro handles files as large as 500 MB.

How to PDF to PPT in 3 Steps

Drop a PDF into the upload area, or click to browse for it.

Click Convert; the file is sent to the conversion server and converted by LibreOffice.

Download the .pptx and open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote.

Why PDF to PPT with LittlePDF?

LibreOffice converts each PDF page into an editable slide, so text and images come back as objects you can move, not a flat image.

The output is a standard .pptx that opens in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, and LibreOffice Impress.

The deck travels to the server through an encrypted channel, and we keep no copy of it once the .pptx is finished.

Three credits per deck against a 500-credit day leaves roughly 160 free conversions before the pool resets.

Features

LibreOffice Slide Engine

The PDF is converted on our server (via Gotenberg) by LibreOffice, the engine behind a major open-source office suite, which is what produces editable slides rather than flattened page images.

One Slide Per Page

Each page of the PDF becomes a slide in the deck, with text and images placed as separate objects you can edit, resize, or restyle in any presentation app.

Honest About the Format

A PDF holds a static layout, so animations, transitions, and speaker notes cannot be brought back; they were never stored in the file. You get the visible content of each slide in editable form.
