## What is PDF to slides!?

THE SLIDES AI BUILDS. NOW EDITABLE.

NotebookLM builds beautiful decks from your research. You can't change a single word.
NotebookLM turns your audio overview into polished slides. They're locked as flat images.
NotebookLM summarizes 50 sources into one presentation. You can't fix one typo.
ChatGPT writes perfect outlines. They get stuck in a read-only PDF.

Every AI tool ships read-only PDFs. Every other converter just takes screenshots.
SlideEdit is the only one that sees the slide the way you do — and gives you real text back.

WHAT YOU GET
• Real text on every slide — not pixels, not images
• Real fonts, real colors, real alignment, real reading order
• Native PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides exports
• Vector PDFs with selectable, searchable text

WHAT IT HANDLES
• NotebookLM research reports and audio overviews → editable slide decks
• ChatGPT exports → presentations you can change
• Scanned papers, printer scans, photo of a slide → searchable slides

WHY IT WORKS
• 100% on your device. Files never leave your Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
• 10-second conversion. No upload, no account, no waiting.
• Works offline. Airplane mode? No problem.
• Real text. Copy it. Search it. Translate it. Edit it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.2 — 2026-08-03

Smarter layouts. Sharper text frames.
• Multi-column reading order — AI now reads top-to-bottom, left-to-right, so dense NotebookLM slides keep their original order.
• Pro text frames — every line becomes a real editable box with its original font, size, and alignment.
• Pixel-perfect font matching — original font family, weight, and size preserved automatically.
• Cleaner layers — text and background graphics are now cleanly separated, no more overlap.
• Faster on complex pages — new processing pipeline cuts recognition time by up to 40%.

### 3.1 — 2026-07-14

Better conversion quality across the board.

We rebuilt the conversion engine with a new 5-stage pipeline: Render → Layout Detect → OCR → Style Inference → Emit. Each stage now uses typed contracts and isolated error handling, making the engine faster, more accurate, and more reliable on long decks and dense layouts.

What you'll notice:
• Cleaner text recognition, especially on smaller fonts
• Tighter alignment between text boxes and the original slide
• Faster conversion on multi-page decks
• More stable handling of complex multi-column layouts

If something looks off, please send feedback from Settings → Feedback — we read every note.

### 3.0 — 2026-06-25

SlideEdit comes to Mac. And everything else gets better.

• Now on Mac. Keyboard shortcuts, Magic Mouse, external display, and full multitasking.
• Real-time text editing — fix a typo, change a number, rewrite a bullet, right inside the slide.
• Smarter OCR — better with handwriting, low-quality scans, and multi-column layouts.
• 25 languages. Including yours.

No upload. No account. No cloud. Privacy first, like always.
