One workspace for reading and building
Upload → AI reads everything → research workspace → executive summary → outline → presentation → export. Each step is reviewable and editable, so nothing is a black box.
Industry solution
AI Research Workspace
PD2PPT is more than an AI PowerPoint generator. Upload a paper, report or link and the workspace reads everything, then gives you an executive summary, key facts, a timeline, discussion questions, counterarguments, a glossary and citations — before you ever build a slide.
Research artifacts, not just bullets
Key facts, timelines, AI insights, counterarguments, discussion questions, a glossary and source citations are extracted alongside the summary.
From workspace to PowerPoint
Send the workspace output straight into the presentation outline, choose a template, and export a native, editable .pptx with charts, tables and speaker notes.
Frequently asked questions
What is an AI research workspace?
It is a place where AI reads your uploaded documents in full and produces structured research output — executive summary, key facts, timeline, insights, counterarguments, glossary and citations — that you can review before turning it into a presentation.
How is this different from an AI PowerPoint generator?
Most generators jump straight from a file to slides. PD2PPT adds a research layer first, so the deck is built from a verified summary, key facts and citations rather than a single-pass guess.
Can I export the research output without making slides?
Yes. Paid plans can export the workspace output as PDF, DOCX or a ZIP bundle in addition to PowerPoint.
Does the workspace keep citations from the source?
Yes. Source references are captured and can be placed on a dedicated citations slide at the end of the deck.
How do I convert a PDF to PowerPoint with AI?
Upload your PDF at pd2ppt.com, pick a theme and summary depth, then click Generate. PD2PPT reads the full document, drafts a structured outline, and exports a fully editable .pptx you can download in under a minute.
Is PD2PPT free to use?
Yes. The free tier generates a 4-slide watermarked preview of any deck so you can test quality before paying. Paid plans start at $5 for a single conversion, or $9/month for unlimited decks.
How long does it take to generate a PowerPoint from a PDF?
Most decks are ready in 30–90 seconds. Longer PDFs with AI images or the Detailed summary depth can take up to two minutes.
Will my PowerPoint be fully editable?
Yes. Every deck is a native .pptx file. Text, charts, tables, shapes, and speaker notes are all editable in Microsoft PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.
Does PD2PPT work with scanned or image-only PDFs?
Yes. Image-only PDFs are automatically OCR'd server-side with Gemini before the AI drafts your slides, so scanned articles and photographed pages still produce clean output.
Is my uploaded document private and secure?
Uploads are processed in-memory over HTTPS and are not stored for training. Deck files remain in your account only.
