How to Download a Powerpoint as a PDF

Have you downloaded a PowerPoint and want to have it in PDF format? You can easily upload it to our PPT to PDF converter, transform the document, and get it back as a PDF in a split second. The tool is free to use without the need to create and pay for an account. Follow the guide below to get started, it won’t take more than a couple of clicks.

As we save the presentation as a PDF file, you won’t lose the original content, orientation, colors, and other document properties. To streamline the download process, you don’t even have to choose a location to save the file—it will go straight to your default download folder. Links to external sites will also be saved within the slides.

Of course, there are other options to do this, such as opening the “Save As” dialog box within Microsoft PowerPoint and converting the PowerPoint to PDF from there. However, not everyone has access to a Microsoft Office license.

Other free Options

Once you’ve downloaded a PowerPoint as a PDF, you can also convert your presentations to a few other formats using Smallpdf, including Word, JPG, and Excel. You’ll find all our tools listed on our homepage. If you hadn’t noticed, once you create a PDF there are also options to annotate, compress, split, or even add an electronic signature to your document. As versatile as PowerPoint presentations can be, PDF files are not dead-ends when it comes to editing.

Also, if you want to convert PPT to PDF offline outside of the Smallpdf website, you can. The Smallpdf Desktop App was created for you to easily view and access our tools, all in one small package—offline.

Save Files To Other Platforms

To make PDF even easier, we have integrations with some of the most popular software out there. Once you’ve converted your file to PDF, you can directly import it to Dropbox or Google Drive using our integrations. There is an icon on each toolbox for Dropbox and Google Drive, and the Smallpdf Chrome Extension from the Chrome web store lets you work on documents right in the browser!

And lastly, deeper integrations have also been created where PDF files could be exported to our site, from theirs. To enable this, go to Dropbox, right-click on any PDF file, and you should see our logo listed—all to help make PDF easy for you.
