PDF pages

Leave empty for all, or type e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-

Resolution
Compression

Text, vector graphics, links and forms stay exactly as they are; only images are re-encoded. If a file cannot get smaller, you get the original back.

Output
Worksheets
Separator

Columns are found from how the text lines up. Clear tables work best; check merged cells and headers after converting.

Fonts are replaced by Word’s standard font; complex layouts (columns, text boxes) become simple paragraphs you can edit.

Slide quality

Each page becomes one slide that looks exactly like the PDF. The text in the notes can be copied into your own slides.

Text layout

The first time, the engine and language data (about 2–8 MB) are downloaded from this site; after that it runs on your device.

Paper size
Orientation

Values are printed as Excel shows them (dates, decimals, percentages). Charts, pictures and cell colours are not included.

PDF document
Slides per page

2, 4 or 6 slides per A4 page make printable handouts.

Text, shapes, pictures and tables are drawn in their places; fonts are replaced by a standard font, so line breaks can differ a little. Charts, SmartArt and videos are not included.

Video

Lower resolutions reduce file size. The video will not be enlarged.

Lower values mean higher quality and larger files. Applies to H.264, VP9, MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 outputs.

Choose a video encoder supported by the output format.

Subtitle tracks are embedded in the video. Burning makes text permanent in the picture.

PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 5 MB. The logo is placed at 25% of the video width.

Choose an audio codec supported by the output format.

Audio
Bitrate

Higher means better sound and a larger file. “Auto” keeps the bitrate of the original (at least 128 kbit/s); from lossless files it uses the format’s high-quality setting.

Sample rate
Channels
Cut (optional)

Times such as 1:30 or 0:45.5. Leave empty to keep the whole recording.

Picture

The video shows this picture for the whole length of the sound – for example to upload music or a podcast to YouTube.

Pages to convert

Several pages arrive as a ZIP with one image per page.

Shown by e-readers in the library; leave empty to keep what the document says.

PDF/A-2b embeds all fonts so the file looks the same in many years; required by many courts and public offices.

Scales every sheet so it fits on a single page instead of being split across several.

Sheets

CSV and TSV hold one table: with “Every sheet” each sheet becomes its own file, together in a ZIP.

Separator

Excel in many European languages expects a semicolon; most other programs a comma.

Convert on our server?

If you continue, the file is uploaded over an encrypted connection and converted on our server. You can keep using the site meanwhile. The original is deleted as soon as it is converted; the result is kept for 6 hours so you can download it, and you can delete it at any time. Files are never shared or used for anything else.

About this tool

KEY is the presentation format of Apple Keynote on Mac, iPhone and iPad, which PowerPoint and Windows programs cannot open. PDF keeps fonts, images and layout exactly as intended on every device, and is the standard for sharing and printing.

This converter turns your KEY file into PDF, the right choice for sharing, printing and sending documents that must look the same everywhere. Every slide becomes one page of the PDF file, exactly as it looks in the presentation – ready to share, print or archive. Animations, transitions and embedded videos do not exist in PDF. Add up to 10 files at once – each one is converted in the background, so you can keep using the site and download every result as soon as it is ready.

Presentations are converted on our server: the upload starts only after you confirm, the original is deleted after conversion and the result is kept for 6 hours unless you delete it sooner.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert KEY to PDF?

Choose or drop your KEY file, keep PDF as the output and click Convert. After you confirm the upload, our server converts the file and shows the progress; then you download the PDF file.

Can I convert several KEY files at once?

Yes. Add up to 10 files at a time. Each gets its own background job with its own progress, and you can download each result as soon as it is finished.

How large can the file be?

Each file can be up to 100 MB.

What happens to my file?

It is uploaded only after you confirm. The original is deleted as soon as the conversion is finished, and the PDF file is kept for 6 hours so you can download it – you can delete it yourself at any time.

Is the KEY to PDF converter free?

Yes. It is free, without sign-up and without a watermark.

Are speaker notes and hidden slides included?

The PDF file shows the visible slides as they look in the presentation; speaker notes are not printed. Fonts that are not installed on our server are replaced by similar ones.

Which Keynote files can be opened?

Keynote presentations saved as a single file (Keynote 2–6 and Keynote 2013 and later) are read. A Keynote package that shows up as a folder must be zipped first, or exported from Keynote as PPTX.
