A clear, slide-by-slide version of the source is the best place to start.","eyebrowBuilt":"Built for PDF input","builtAroundTitle":"How Scholarly turns a PDF into slides","builtAroundPara1":"Turning a PDF into slides is not just splitting the text every few lines. Scholarly reads the document the way you would: it finds the real headings and sections, follows the order of the argument, pulls out the claims and evidence that matter, and keeps figures, tables, citations, math, and code anchored to the slide they belong to. The result is a deck that mirrors the source's logic — a title, a short agenda, one idea per content slide, and a closing summary — so you can study the structure instead of rereading dense pages.","builtAroundPara2":"If you are not starting from a file — say you only have a topic, a prompt, or your own notes — the general-purpose","builtAroundLink":"AI Slide Generator","builtAroundPara2Suffix":"is the better entry point.","bestSourceTitle":"Which PDFs work best","bestSourcePara":"Text-based PDFs convert most cleanly — research papers, lecture handouts, textbook chapters, and existing slide decks saved as PDF. Scanned or photographed pages still work, but the deck is sharper when the text is clean and selectable. There is no perfect length: a two-page handout and a forty-page chapter both turn into slides, just at the level of detail the source supports.","faqTitle":"Frequently Asked Questions","eyebrowFaq":"FAQ","relatedLinksHeading":"More Scholarly study tools","eyebrowPricing":"Get started","bottomCtaTitle":"Sign up to turn PDFs into slides","bottomCtaDescription":"Free to start. No credit card required.","faq0Question":"How do I convert a PDF to slides?","faq0Answer":"Upload your PDF and Scholarly reads its structure — headings, sections, and the flow of the argument — then turns it into a slide deck: a title, a short agenda, one idea per content slide, and a closing summary. Present it in Scholarly, share it by link, or, on a paid plan, download it as PDF or PowerPoint (.pptx) or save it to Google Slides.","faq1Question":"What does the AI actually do to turn a PDF into slides?","faq1Answer":"It parses the document's real layout rather than chopping the text at fixed intervals. It detects headings and sections, follows the order of the argument, separates claims from supporting detail, and keeps figures, citations, math, and code anchored to the right slide — so the deck mirrors the source instead of flattening it.","faq2Question":"What kind of PDFs work best?","faq2Answer":"Text-based PDFs such as lecture handouts, research papers, and textbook chapters work best. Scanned or photographed documents work too, but the deck is more accurate when the text is clean and selectable.","faq3Question":"Can I edit the slides after they're generated?","faq3Answer":"The deck is generated as a finished PDF, so slides are not edited in place. Choose the length before you generate: 5 to 30 slides on paid plans, and 10 on Free. To change the structure, wording, or style, regenerate with custom instructions — for example \"add a slide on X\" — and the AI rebuilds the deck from your source with those changes. On a paid plan you can also download the deck as a PowerPoint (.pptx) file to reorder or trim slides in your own editor; each slide is exported as its rendered visual, not editable text, with its speaker notes in PowerPoint's notes pane.","faq4Question":"Can I export the deck to PowerPoint or Google Slides?","faq4Answer":"Yes, on a paid plan. Every plan can present the deck in Scholarly and share a viewing link. Premium and Laureate can download it as a PDF or a PowerPoint (.pptx) file, or save it to Google Slides when Google Drive is connected (Scholarly creates a separate copy in your Drive). Each slide exports as its rendered visual, so you can reorder, remove, or add slides in PowerPoint or Google Slides, but the slide text is not editable there. The PowerPoint file includes each slide's speaker notes. Free plans view, present, and share by link only.","faq5Question":"Will figures, citations, math, and code be preserved?","faq5Answer":"Yes. Figure and citation references stay anchored to the slide they belong to, and math notation and code blocks are kept intact instead of being flattened into plain text.","faq6Question":"Does turning a PDF into slides help me learn, or just save time?","faq6Answer":"Both. Splitting a dense PDF into one idea per slide makes the structure of the argument visible, which is the first step to understanding it rather than memorizing it. You can then use the deck to self-test, present, or revise.","faq7Question":"Is there a page or length limit for the PDF?","faq7Answer":"Short handouts and long chapters both work; the deck simply scales to the level of detail the source supports. Very long documents are best on a paid plan, which raises creation limits and document length.","faq8Question":"Can I turn the PDF into slides in another language?","faq8Answer":"Yes. Scholarly supports 70+ languages, so you can generate the deck in the language you study or present in, regardless of the PDF's original language.","faq9Question":"How is this different from the AI Slide Generator?","faq9Answer":"This page is tuned for the PDF-to-slides case: you already have a document and want the deck to follow it faithfully. The AI Slide Generator is the better choice when you're starting from a topic, a prompt, or loose notes rather than a file.","faq10Question":"Is it free?","faq10Answer":"Yes, free to start with lifetime free AI Creation Credit limits. Premium includes 15 AI Creation Credits each week and supports longer documents.","seoTitle":"PDF to Slides — Turn Any PDF Into a Clean Slide Deck","seoDescription":"Convert a PDF to slides free: upload a paper or chapter and get a PDF deck, one idea per slide.
