PowerPoint to PDF

Convert and share your PowerPoint presentations as tracked PDFs.

EveryPage accepts PowerPoint files (.pptx and .ppt) and converts them to PDF in flight. The converted file is stored as a PDF, so all downstream features—viewer modes, analytics, watermarking, and sharing controls—work identically to a native PDF upload.

Supported formats

Both modern (.pptx) and legacy (.ppt) PowerPoint files are accepted. This differs from Word support, which accepts only .docx files: the legacy .ppt format is included because LibreOffice's .ppt import filter is mature and older presentations remain common. Files are validated by their internal container signature—Zip (OOXML) for .pptx and OLE2 for .ppt—before conversion proceeds.

File size limit

PowerPoint source files are capped at 50 MB. This limit applies only to the original presentation; the converted PDF may be smaller or larger depending on content.

That cap is separate from your plan's per-file upload cap, which applies to the whole upload request and to the converted PDF that gets stored. On the free plan the per-file cap is 20 MB, so it is reached well before the 50 MB source cap. See plans and limits for your tier's figure.

If your deck exceeds whichever cap applies to you, export it to PDF yourself and upload that instead.

Conversion process

Your presentation is converted to PDF by LibreOffice, running as a service alongside EveryPage. Conversion happens synchronously, inside the upload request: the deck streams to the converter, the returned PDF is encrypted and stored, and the upload response carries the share link. Large decks therefore make the upload request take longer, and the converter allows up to 60 seconds for one conversion.

Slides to pages

LibreOffice's default PDF export renders one slide per page, so each slide in your presentation becomes one page in the final PDF. This maps naturally to EveryPage's swipe and flipbook viewer modes, which let your viewers navigate page-by-page. See the viewer modes guide for details on how your audience can interact with your deck.

Fidelity notes

LibreOffice renders the presentation, so animations and slide transitions are lost. Complex layouts, embedded media, or unusual fonts may not render exactly as they appear in PowerPoint—LibreOffice may substitute fonts or adjust spacing. If precise visual fidelity is critical, export your deck to PDF in PowerPoint and upload the result instead. The PDF-to-PDF path preserves all formatting without LibreOffice rendering.

Availability

PowerPoint conversion is available on all plans, including the free tier, and requires no account. It depends on the document conversion service being reachable: when it is not configured, uploads are PDF-only and a .pptx is rejected with "Only PDF files are allowed"; when it is configured but temporarily unreachable or overloaded, the upload fails with "Document conversion is temporarily unavailable" and the same deck will upload once the service recovers. The generated PDF is then subject to your plan's ordinary file size and active-file limits. See plans and limits for your tier's restrictions.

Tracking and sharing

Once converted, your deck behaves as a full EveryPage document. The upload response carries the share link, and every readership and access feature applies exactly as it does to a PDF you uploaded directly—including the plan gating: view counts and summary readership on every tier, page-by-page stats and audience breakdowns from Basic, reader identities and the email capture gate on Pro, and webhooks on all tiers. Readers see the EveryPage viewer with your chosen viewer mode enabled.
