Local. Offline. Simple.
Convert PowerPoint files to PDF on your desktop.
SlideDrop is a small desktop utility for Windows and macOS that converts .ppt and .pptx files to PDF using LibreOffice on your computer.
Built for batch conversion
Add files or folders, review the queue, and convert everything in one local batch. Failed files do not stop the rest of the queue.
No cloud upload
SlideDrop calls LibreOffice in headless mode through a local subprocess. Your PowerPoint files stay on your machine.
Practical output behavior
Folder scans write PDFs into a local pdf folder. Individually selected files write PDFs beside their source files.
