Tools for the deck you’re building.
What free tools help you build a better presentation?
Two kinds of free tool cover most presentation work: converters — PDF to PPT, PPT to PDF, slides to images, images to slideshow, and a speaker-notes extractor — and planning checks: a slide-count calculator that turns talk length into a slide budget, a contrast checker for every colour pairing a slide renders, a rehearsal timer, and a slide-size reference.
Converters

What each tool answers
- How do you make a product catalog?
- A product catalog lists your range with a photo, name, price and description for each item, grouped into categories. Export your products to CSV, group them by category, and export to PDF at A4 or US Letter. The work is in keeping it current, so start from data you can re-export rather than a document you rebuild by hand.

- How do you make a wholesale line sheet?
- A wholesale line sheet is a one-to-two page ordering document listing every product with its SKU, wholesale price and minimum order quantity. Export your products to CSV, group them by category, and print to PDF at A4 or US Letter. Buyers order from it directly, so accuracy matters more than design.

- How many slides do you need for a presentation?
- A 10-minute presentation typically needs 10 to 12 slides, at roughly 50 seconds per slide. Pitches run faster, near 30 seconds a slide; training sessions run slower, near 90. The tighter constraint is words: a slide should carry about 18% of what is spoken over it, or the audience reads instead of listening.
- Slide Count Calculator →
- What contrast ratio do presentation slides need?
- Presentation body text needs a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against its background, and large headings and non-text marks such as icons, rules and chart bars need at least 3:1. These are the WCAG 2.2 AA thresholds. Palettes most often fail on tinted surfaces rather than on the slide itself.
- Presentation Contrast Checker →
- How do you use a timer to rehearse a presentation?
- Set the timer to your speaking slot and enter your slide count, then rehearse from the start without stopping. Dividing the slot by the slide count gives a target pace, so comparing the slide you are on with the slide you should be on shows whether you are ahead or behind while there is still time to correct.

- What size is a PowerPoint slide?
- The default PowerPoint and Google Slides size is 16:9 widescreen, which is 13.333 by 7.5 inches, or 33.87 by 19.05 centimetres. The older 4:3 standard is 10 by 7.5 inches. Exported at 1080p, a 16:9 slide is 1920 by 1080 pixels; social carousels use 1080 by 1350 for portrait and 1080 by 1080 for square.

- How do you convert a PDF to PowerPoint for free?
- A PDF converts to PowerPoint by rendering each page and placing it on its own 16:9 slide, producing a .pptx that opens anywhere PowerPoint files do. The conversion can run entirely in a web browser, so the document never has to be uploaded — which matters for contracts, reports, and anything confidential.
- PDF to PPT Converter →
- How do you convert a PowerPoint to PDF for free?
- A PowerPoint converts to PDF by rendering every slide at its exact size into a fixed-layout document, so fonts, images, and positioning stop depending on the viewer's software. A faithful conversion uses a real presentation renderer; the resulting PDF is what to send when the deck must look identical everywhere.
- PPT to PDF Converter →
- How do you convert PowerPoint slides to JPG images?
- PowerPoint slides convert to images by rendering the deck slide-by-slide and exporting each one as a JPG or PNG, typically 1,920 pixels wide for full-HD sharpness. One image per slide is the format social posts, thumbnails, and documents need — a multi-slide deck exports as a zip with the slides numbered in order.
- PPT to JPG Converter →
- How do you turn images into a PowerPoint slideshow?
- Images become a PowerPoint slideshow by placing each photo on its own 16:9 slide, scaled to fit without cropping or distortion. A JPG, PNG, or WebP set converts to a .pptx in the browser in seconds — the standard way to build a photo slideshow, portfolio deck, or image archive that opens in any presentation app.
- Image to PPT Converter →
- How do you extract all speaker notes from a PowerPoint?
- Speaker notes live inside a .pptx file as XML — one notes page per slide — so they can be extracted directly, without PowerPoint installed. Reading the file in the browser produces a clean, slide-numbered script of every note, ready to copy into a teleprompter, a handout, or an AI tool for rewriting.

Frequently asked questions
Are these presentation tools free?
Yes — every tool is free with no account, no sign-up and no watermarks. Fair-use limits apply only to the server-powered PPT conversions (20 per hour), which no human workflow gets near.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The tools work immediately in the browser. An account is only needed if you go on to generate a deck with Slideso.
Are uploaded files stored anywhere?
The calculators and most converters run entirely in the browser — the file never leaves the device. The two PowerPoint conversions that need a real renderer (PPT to PDF and PPT to JPG) upload over HTTPS, convert in memory, and delete the file immediately; nothing is ever stored.
Which tool should I start with?
The slide count calculator, before you build anything. Slide count and words per slide are decisions that are cheap to make first and expensive to change once a deck exists.
Do these work for Google Slides and Keynote as well as PowerPoint?
Yes. Slide counts, pacing, contrast ratios and dimensions are properties of the presentation rather than the software. The slide size guide lists the defaults for each.
Or skip the checklist
Converting and checking are what you do to a deck that already exists. Slideso builds the deck itself — pacing from your slide count, contrast enforced by the layout engine, editable PowerPoint and PDF export included — from a one-line prompt.
