PDF to PowerPoint: pages as slides, made on your phone
iEdit converts a PDF into a PowerPoint presentation (PPTX) on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone. Each page becomes a slide that reproduces the page as a sharp image, and the page's text is placed in the slide notes, all without a server.
Overview
Pick a PDF and iEdit writes a PPTX with one slide per page. Each slide shows the page as an image about 2000 pixels wide, so fonts, diagrams and layouts look exactly as they did in the PDF, on a laptop or a projector. The text of each page is placed in that slide's notes, where you can read it in the presenter view, copy it, or search the deck for it.
What you do not get is text in editable text boxes: the slide itself is a picture of the page, so to change a heading you edit the notes or rebuild that slide. Pages without a text layer are recognised on your device first, so the notes of a scanned handout are filled too, in any of nine scripts. The conversion uses iEdit's own writer on the device, with no server involved.
It is made for presenting a report, a brochure or a set of lecture notes without redesigning them, and for dropping a few PDF pages into an existing deck as reference slides. The PPTX saves to My files for free, and because the pages never leave your phone, a draft or an internal document is safe to convert anywhere.

- 01
Slides that match the page
Each page becomes a 2000 px image, so layout and fonts look as the PDF did.

Text kept in the notes
The page's words, recognised on the device if needed, sit in the slide notes to read or copy.
- 03
Written on your device
The PPTX is built by iEdit's own converter; nothing is uploaded and it works offline.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit the text on the slides after converting a PDF to PowerPoint?
Not in text boxes. Each slide is an image of the PDF page, which is why it looks exactly right, and the page's text goes into the slide notes. You can copy from the notes into a new text box or rebuild a slide, but iEdit does not create editable text frames.
Is my PDF uploaded to make the presentation?
No. iEdit renders the pages, recognises any text and writes the PPTX on your phone or tablet. Nothing is sent to a server and no account is needed, so the tool works offline and the document stays with you from the first page to the finished deck.
What does PDF to PowerPoint cost?
Converting is free and the presentation saves to My files. Sharing it to PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, or saving it to Files, means taking it out of iEdit, which is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
