Why convert Word to PowerPoint?
Sometimes a document needs to go up on screen: a report to discuss in a meeting, notes to present in class or a flyer you want to show on a display. Converting it to PowerPoint gives you a starting presentation you can project, add to and adapt.
Each page of the document becomes a slide of the same size, looking just as it does in Word. Text goes into editable text boxes, in place and with its font, size and color, so you can correct it, move it or shrink it in PowerPoint. Images, drawn tables and backgrounds are kept as the slide picture.
Slides are the size of the page (A4 portrait, for example). If you prefer widescreen, change the slide size in PowerPoint after converting. Besides .docx, it accepts .doc, .odt and RTF.
The conversion happens on our server over an encrypted connection, and the file is deleted as soon as you get the result. The free try converts one document; with ToolStudio Pro, use is unlimited and you can convert several at once and download them together in a ZIP.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the document split into slides?
Each page of the document, as it would print, becomes a slide of the same size. That way nothing gets lost or moved out of place.
Can I edit the text in PowerPoint?
Yes. Text goes into editable text boxes, in place and with its font, size and color. Images and backgrounds are kept as the slide picture.
Can I get widescreen slides?
Slides are the size of the document’s pages. In PowerPoint, under Design > Slide Size, you can change it to 16:9 and adjust the content.
What happens to my file?
It’s sent to our server over an encrypted connection, converted and deleted as soon as you get the result. We don’t keep it, we don’t share it with anyone and we don’t use it for anything else.
Can I convert a password-protected document?
No. Files with an open password can’t be opened without it. Open the file in Word or PowerPoint, remove the password (File > Info > Protect) and try again.
Is it free?
You get one free try per tool: one file. You can convert that same file again as many times as you like, but to convert a new file you need ToolStudio Pro, which gives you unlimited use of every tool, batch processing (several files at once, downloaded together in a ZIP) and no ads. You can cancel anytime.
