PDF to PowerPoint Converter (AI)
Upload a PDF and Dekked turns it into a slide deck. Every paid deck is a native, editable PowerPoint (.pptx) file, with real charts built from your numbers and your document's original figures extracted and placed on the slides. Text stays text, cleanly readable tables become real PowerPoint tables, and every chart opens in Excel, so you can keep editing the deck after download.
How the conversion works
1Upload your PDF
Attach the PDF (a paper, report, or thesis) and add a line about the deck you need.
2The deck is built
Dekked designs every slide from your PDF, then checks each one and fixes what it finds. A free deck usually takes about 10–15 minutes, a paid deck about 30–45.
3Open the .pptx and keep editing
A paid deck downloads as a native PowerPoint file: text, shapes, tables, and charts are all objects you can edit.
What survives the conversion
Figures
Figures and diagrams are extracted from the PDF at high resolution and placed, as your original images, on the slides they support.
Tables
Tables that can be read cleanly are rebuilt as native PowerPoint tables: rows and cells you can select, restyle, and edit in place. A table that can't be read cleanly is placed as the original image.
Numbers become charts
Numbers recovered from your PDF become native PowerPoint bar, line, pie or scatter charts. Select a chart, choose Edit Data, and its values open in an Excel worksheet.
Text stays text
Headings and body copy land as editable text boxes — retype, restyle, or translate them like slides you built yourself.
A chart from a generated deck with Edit Data open — the values sit in Excel cells you can change.
What to expect on time
A free deck usually takes about 10–15 minutes and a paid deck about 30–45, because Dekked designs every slide from your PDF, then checks each one and fixes what it finds before delivery. If you need an instant page-for-page snapshot of your PDF, this is the wrong tool: Dekked rebuilds your content as a presentation, and that takes time.
Frequently asked questions
Is it free?
Dekked is freemium. Your first deck is free: a watermarked deck of up to 10 slides, without AI images or speaker notes. Paid decks are native, editable .pptx files with no watermark. A deck is $1.99 on Pay As You Go, or 7 decks are $9.99 with a Credit Pack. No subscription required.
Does it work with research papers?
Yes — research papers are a core use case. Dekked reads the paper’s structure, extracts the figures straight from the PDF, and builds a deck ordered for presenting rather than for reading. Conference papers, theses, and journal articles all work.
Is the output really editable, or pictures of slides?
Every paid deck is a native .pptx built from PowerPoint objects: text boxes you can retype, tables you can restyle, and chart objects. Select a chart, choose Edit Data, and its numbers open in an Excel worksheet you can change. Figures taken from your PDF stay pictures, as they were in the source.
How long does the conversion take?
A free deck usually takes about 10–15 minutes and a paid deck about 30–45 minutes, because Dekked checks each slide it builds from your PDF and fixes what it finds before delivery.
Do you keep my PDF after the conversion?
Your PDF is never used to train AI models. The privacy policy explains how long uploads are kept.
Does it copy my PDF page-by-page onto slides?
No. Dekked does not mirror each PDF page onto a slide. It reads the content (text, figures, tables, numbers) and designs a new presentation from it. If you need an exact copy of every page, Dekked is the wrong tool. It makes a deck you can present and keep editing.
