Why PowerPoint Conversion Breaks Your Brand

You spend hours perfecting your branded pitch deck—then the PDF export ruins fonts, shifts images, and breaks layouts. Your sales team sends broken PDFs to prospects, and your brand looks unprofessional.

Shifted Slide Layouts

Text boxes overlap images, bullets shift off-center, and your carefully designed slides look broken.

Lost Brand Fonts

Your custom brand font gets replaced with Arial, breaking brand guidelines and making you look cheap.

Manual QA Hell

Every deck needs manual review and fixing before sending—burning hours your team doesn't have.

FAQ: PowerPoint to PDF Conversion

Does the API preserve slide layouts and fonts? ▼
Yes. The API embeds all fonts and preserves exact slide layouts, including text boxes, images, shapes, and SmartArt diagrams.
What happens to animations and transitions? ▼
Animations and transitions are flattened to their final state in the PDF, ensuring the slide looks exactly as intended in presentation mode.
Can I convert password-protected PowerPoint files? ▼
Yes. Pass the password in the API request, and we'll decrypt and convert the file. The output PDF can also be password-protected.
What's the maximum file size for PowerPoint to PDF conversion? ▼
Up to 100MB per file. Most 100-slide decks with high-res images convert in under 2 seconds. Contact support for larger files.
