About Keynote to PDF

Keynote to PDF turns an Apple Keynote presentation into a document everyone can read. Keynote only runs on Macs, iPhones and iPads, so a .key file sent to someone on Windows or Android usually won't open. A PDF works as a handout, an email attachment or a file for a course portal.

Upload the .key file and download the PDF. You don't need a Mac, and there's nothing to set. It's also a handy way to keep a fixed copy of a talk after you've given it, since the layout of a PDF no longer changes from one device to another.

FAQ

Keynote to PDF: questions and answers

How can I view a Keynote file on Windows?
Convert it with Keynote to PDF and open the result in any PDF reader. Windows has no Keynote, so the .key file won't open directly.
Does Keynote to PDF need a Mac?
No. The conversion happens on our server, from any browser.
Can I edit the slides after Keynote to PDF?
A PDF is for viewing and printing. To edit, use Keynote to PPT, which gives you an editable PowerPoint file. To reuse the text in a document instead, PDF to Word turns the PDF into a Word file.
What does the free plan include?
2 tasks in total without an account, 2 a day with a free account, and files up to 50 MB. VIP lifts the task limit.
Are my slides stored after the Keynote to PDF conversion?
Only for an hour. The Keynote file and the PDF are then deleted automatically, and uploads always use HTTPS.
Share Keynote to PDF with a friendIt runs in any browser, and they can try it without signing up.
