From abstract to full deck
AI reads the full paper, not just the abstract, and builds background, methods, results, discussion and limitations slides.
Industry solution
Research Paper to PowerPoint
Convert academic papers, preprints and journal articles into structured conference presentations. PD2PPT surfaces methodology, findings and discussion into editable slides.
Citations and speaker notes
Speaker notes reference the paper's sections so you can present without re-reading the source.
Charts, tables and figures
Numeric tables become native PowerPoint charts. Original figures are placed near their source pages.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a research paper into a conference presentation?
Upload your paper PDF, pick the Detailed summary depth, and click Generate. PD2PPT builds background, methods, results, discussion and limitations slides with speaker notes in under two minutes.
Can I use PD2PPT for my PhD defense presentation?
Yes. Use Detailed summary depth to get up to 8 structured slides covering the full paper, then extend the deck in PowerPoint with your own committee-focused sections.
Does it read the whole paper or just the abstract?
PD2PPT reads the full paper (up to 15 pages) — background, methods, results, discussion and limitations — not just the abstract.
Can I convert a preprint or arXiv paper to slides?
Yes. Download the PDF from arXiv, bioRxiv or SSRN, upload it, and PD2PPT builds a conference-ready deck.
How many slides will my paper produce?
Typical papers produce 10–15 slides plus 3–8 executive summary slides if enabled. You control depth with Brief, Standard or Detailed options.
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 unlimited conversion and $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.
