How to convert PPS to PDF
- Add your .PPS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PDF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PDF file.
What to expect
- Animations, transitions, and embedded audio or video are stripped; the PDF shows each slide in its default static state.
- Speaker notes are not included by default - check your app's PDF export options to add a notes page.
- Fonts are embedded by desktop apps (PowerPoint, LibreOffice), so text renders correctly on other devices; Google Slides may substitute uncommon fonts before export.

Press Esc to exit the slide show, then use File > Export in PowerPoint or File > Export As PDF in LibreOffice to reach the normal export dialog.
Will the PDF text be searchable?
