## How do I convert a PDF to an editable PowerPoint?

Add the PDF to Mergevanta's PDF to PowerPoint tool, keep Editable text selected and press Convert to PowerPoint. Each page becomes a slide: its text turns into editable text boxes with the original fonts, sizes and colors, and the pictures and shapes stay behind it. It's free, with no watermark.

## Why use Mergevanta

- **Text you can edit:** Headings, bullets and paragraphs become text boxes with their font, size, color, bold and italic, placed where they were on the page.
- **Design kept intact:** Backgrounds, photos, charts and shapes stay in place behind the text, so the slides still look like the PDF.
- **Images only when you want:** Choose Images only for an exact copy of each page — handy for presenting a PDF as it is.
- **Private by design:** Files are encrypted end to end, processed in memory and never stored; large files are converted in your browser instead.

## How to use it

1. Press Choose PDF and pick the file, or drop it on the page. Enter its password if it has one.
2. Under Slides, choose Editable text or Images only.
3. Press Convert to PowerPoint.
4. Press Download and open the .pptx in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the text really editable?

Yes. With Editable text, each block of text becomes a text box you can type in. Rotated text and text that is part of a picture — a scanned page or a chart image — stays in the background.

### Where is my PDF processed?

PDFs up to 4 MB are processed on Mergevanta's server, encrypted end to end and deleted as soon as the presentation is sent back. Larger PDFs are converted in your browser, where each slide is a picture of the page.

### Will the fonts match?

Text boxes use the PDF's font names, sizes and colors. If a font isn't installed on your computer, PowerPoint swaps in a similar one, so lines can come out slightly longer or shorter.

### What slide size do I get?

Slides take the size of the first page, so a 16:9 PDF gives 16:9 slides and an A4 document gives A4 slides. Pages of a different size are scaled to fit.

### What happens to scanned pages?

A scanned page is a picture, so its slide is a picture too and its text can't be edited.

### Can I convert a password-protected PDF?

Yes. Enter the password when asked; it's used only to open the file for this conversion.
