Keynote to PDF

Convert an Apple Keynote presentation to PDF

A .key file is fine on Apple devices and a dead end everywhere else: a Windows laptop at the venue, a client's PC, a phone that shows only an unknown attachment. Keynote to PDF turns the presentation into a PDF with one page per slide, so it can be viewed, printed or shared on anything.

Upload the .key file and every slide comes through with its layout: titles and body text, bullet lists, tables, shapes, images and the slide background, at the slide's own size and proportions, so a 16:9 deck stays 16:9. The text remains selectable and searchable. Presentations saved by every version of Keynote are accepted, from Keynote '05 and '09 to the current macOS, iOS and iCloud releases, including files that arrive as a zipped folder. Animations, transitions, audio and video do not exist in a PDF and are left out; each slide shows its final state.

The conversion runs on our servers over a secure connection and the upload is deleted within 60 minutes. A password-protected presentation must be unlocked in Keynote before uploading. When someone needs to edit the slides rather than just view them, Keynote to PowerPoint produces a PPTX; when you want a picture of each slide for a website or a document, Keynote to JPG saves every slide as an image.
