Gixo Lumen · deterministic document conversion
Convert a PDF into editable PowerPoint slides — without turning every page into a screenshot.
Upload a PDF, review the extracted slide structure, and decide whether the result is ready to present. The converter uses text, headings, tables, and available embedded images; it does not quietly OCR a scanned document or rewrite your source.
Editable slides, not screenshots

Real slide text, tables, and extracted structure
A PDF file with extractable text. Pages without extractable text are reported as warnings rather than OCR'd.
Review every slide in the browser for free, without an account. Sign in only when you want to download PPTX or PDF.
A converter, not a prompt box
Turn the structure you already have into a slide preview.
PDF text extraction is the honest fit here. If the source is primarily scanned images, use the warning to choose an OCR workflow before converting.
The conversion step is deliberately structural. It extracts the source, identifies headings and blocks, and splits long sections into readable slides — it does not paraphrase your source or invent a narrative around it. Rewriting, restructuring and theming are separate, opt-in steps you take afterwards on the canvas.
Free preview: convert and inspect the complete deck in your browser without an account. Sign in is the download boundary for PPTX and PDF.
How it works
Three bounded steps from PDF to slides.
Build the slide structure
The parser groups page text, heading-sized runs, bullets, tables, and available images into normalized slide HTML.
Review before download
Review the complete deck, slide count, source-page count, and any extraction warnings before exporting.
Source rules
What the converter reads from PDF.
PDF text is read in page order. Font-size relationships help identify headings; embedded images and native tables are preserved where the source exposes them.
Reading order
Words are reconstructed from their page positions rather than copied as a raw PDF text dump.
Heading signal
The modal body-text size provides a baseline; larger text is treated as a possible heading.
Scanned pages
Image-only pages are detected and surfaced as warnings. They are not sent through OCR in batch one.
Output behavior
What stays faithful, and what does not.
Preserved or represented
- Extractable text and heading hierarchy
- Native tables where the PDF exposes table structure
- Embedded images that can be extracted from the source
- Warnings for pages that contain no extractable text
Outside this batch
- Scanned-page OCR
- AI rewriting or narrative restructuring
- A guarantee that every PDF layout becomes a native PowerPoint layout
Supported formats & specifications
The contract we can state today.
Benchmark pending for this input; limits are not guessed on this page.
| Aspect | Current behavior |
|---|---|
| Input | PDF upload |
| Result | Full editable deck preview in the browser, including slide count, source-page count, and extraction warnings. |
| Free vs signed in | Preview is free without an account. Sign in to download PPTX or PDF, apply a brand kit or theme, or restructure the narrative with AI. |
| Measured limits | Benchmark pending for this input; limits are not guessed on this page. |
| Extraction | Structural, not generative: headings, blocks and tables are read from the source rather than rewritten. |
| Safety | Uploads are validated and bounded-parsed. URL conversion accepts public HTTP/HTTPS pages only. |
What conversion does, and what it leaves to you
Structure is extracted. Judgement stays yours.
Conversion reads the structure already in your source and lays it out as slides. The complete preview is free without an account; downloading, brand kits, theming, and AI restructuring begin after sign-in. Nothing is silently reworded between the file you brought and the deck you present.
A note about scanned PDFs: A scanned page can still be useful as a source reference, but it will not contribute extractable text until an OCR step happens outside this batch.
Current public contract
PDF to PowerPoint public contract
A short, explicit description of what this converter does and where the paid Lumen workflow begins.| Aspect | Current behavior | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Input | PDF upload | The named source front-end determines which structural signals are read. |
| Review | Every slide is editable on the canvas before export. | You can inspect and correct the output before anything leaves the workspace. |
| Free preview | Full editable deck preview without an account. | Slide count, source-page count, and extraction warnings are visible before sign-in. |
| Export | PPTX and PDF after sign-in, with editable text and native tables. | Slides are rebuilt as real objects rather than flattened page images. |
| Method | Structural extraction and slide assembly, not paraphrase. | The same source structure produces the same conversion behavior. |
Can I convert a scanned PDF?
The converter detects pages with no extractable text and reports a warning. Batch one does not OCR those pages, so a scanned PDF may produce an incomplete preview.
Does PDF to PowerPoint use AI?
No. PDF extraction, structure detection, slide splitting, and HTML assembly are deterministic. No LLM is called.
Will every PDF page become one slide?
No. Headings create slide boundaries, and long sections can continue onto additional slides. Tables receive their own slide.
Do I need a Gixo account to convert a PDF?
No. The complete slide preview runs without an account; sign in only when you want to download PPTX or PDF.

Ready to inspect the result?
Convert PDF to PowerPoint and review the slides before you export.
Reviewing is the point: you can see whether the source structure made a useful deck, and fix it on the canvas, before anything is exported.
