Method 1 — office app (best)

PowerPoint and Google Slides export to PDF and keep your layout, fonts, and images intact.

Method 2 — print to PDF

Open the deck in any viewer and pick "Save as PDF" as the printer.

Honest note

A PDF is a fixed snapshot — slides are no longer editable as a deck. For browser-only text extraction, see PDF to Word.

FAQ

Will animations survive?

No — a PDF captures each slide as a static page; transitions are lost.

Can a browser do it directly?

Not into a true deck; export from the source app for best results.
