Convert a PDF to Editable Google Slides
Google Slides cannot import a PDF; to show one there you would first have to save each page as an image, and images cannot be edited. Upload your PDF here instead: Tosea rebuilds every page as an editable PowerPoint slide, and Google Slides opens that file with the text in real text boxes. Download the PPTX, upload it to Google Drive, and open it with Google Slides.
Upload a PDF up to 30 MB; each page becomes one slide. Works with PDFs exported from PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva, NotebookLM, and other slide tools.
Upload a PDF and download it back as a fully editable .pptx — text, shapes, and tables stay editable, not flattened into images.
This tool shares one monthly allowance with our image-to-editable-PPT tools (5 pages on the free plan); PDF conversions are counted by page. If a PDF exceeds your remaining pages, the first pages within your allowance are converted.
Can You Convert a PDF to Google Slides?
Yes, in two steps. Google Slides has no PDF import, so first convert the PDF into an editable PPTX, then open that file with Google Slides. Tosea does the first step: each PDF page is rebuilt with editable text boxes and separate visual elements, so the deck you open in Google Slides can be edited like any other presentation.
- Upload the PDF and convert it to an editable PPTX.
- Upload the PPTX to Google Drive and open it with Google Slides.
- Edit text, move elements, and share the deck like any Google Slides presentation.
- Free plan: 5 pages a month after sign-in. Pro and Max convert more pages.
Who Is This For?
Works well for
- Teams that work in Google Workspace and receive decks as PDFs
- Teachers and students who need to edit a PDF deck in Google Slides
- Anyone who generated slides in NotebookLM or another AI tool and wants them in Google Slides
Not the right fit for
- PDFs of long text documents such as reports or contracts (they are not slides)
- Expecting fonts that Google Slides does not have to appear unchanged
- Scanned or photographed pages with blurry text
How to Convert a PDF to Google Slides
Upload the PDF to Tosea.
Sign in and drop the PDF into the converter at the top of this page. Each page becomes one slide.
Download the editable PPTX.
The file downloads in your browser and is also saved to your exports.
Upload the PPTX to Google Drive.
Drag the file into Google Drive, or use New and then File upload.
Open it with Google Slides.
Right-click the file and choose Open with, then Google Slides. To add the slides to an existing deck, use File and then Import slides in Google Slides instead.
Check fonts and small text.
Google Slides replaces fonts it does not have with similar ones, so review headings and dense slides before sharing.
What You Get in Google Slides
| PDF element | In Google Slides | Worth checking |

| Titles and body text | Editable text boxes in the original positions | Font substitutions and line breaks |

| Backgrounds and colors | A rebuilt background that keeps the original look | Gradients can look slightly different |
| Slide order | One slide per PDF page, in the same order | Pages beyond your remaining monthly allowance are not converted |

PDF to Google Slides FAQ
Can Google Slides open a PDF?
Not as editable slides. Google Slides imports PowerPoint files but not PDFs; to use a PDF there, you would first have to save each page as an image, which cannot be edited. Convert the PDF to an editable PPTX first, then open the PPTX with Google Slides.
How do I convert a PDF to Google Slides and keep it editable?
Upload the PDF to the converter on this page and download the editable PPTX. Then upload the PPTX to Google Drive and choose Open with Google Slides. The text stays in text boxes and visual elements stay separate, so you can edit the deck in Google Slides.
Can I move NotebookLM slides into Google Slides?
Yes. Download the NotebookLM slide deck as a PDF, convert it here into an editable PPTX, and open that file with Google Slides. The slides become editable instead of staying as pictures.
Is the PDF to Google Slides converter free?
Yes, with sign-in. The free plan includes 5 pages per month, counted by PDF page; Pro and Max include more. If a PDF has more pages than you have left, the first pages within your allowance are still converted.
Why do the fonts look different in Google Slides?
Google Slides only renders fonts it has. When a slide uses a font that Google Slides lacks, it shows a similar font instead, which can change line breaks. Pick a Google font for headings if the exact look matters.
