Frequently asked questions

Will the slides be fully editable?

Text and basic shapes are converted to editable PowerPoint elements. Complex graphics and embedded images are placed as image objects that can be moved and resized but not edited internally.

Does it preserve the original slide dimensions?

Yes. The converter detects the PDF page size and sets the slide dimensions accordingly, preserving the original aspect ratio.

Can I add animations after conversion?

Yes. Once converted, the PowerPoint file is a standard .pptx that supports all PowerPoint features including animations, transitions, and speaker notes.

What is the main difference between PDF and PowerPoint?

PDF is a fixed-layout format ideal for sharing. PowerPoint is fully editable with support for animations, transitions, and slide-by-slide presentations.
