How to translate PPT: Get outstanding presentations in any language

Get fast, reliable, and high-quality translations now

Effective communication across languages and cultures is crucial for success in today's globalized business environment. This applies to all areas of business communication—advertising, social media, B2B, internal documents and more. The humble PowerPoint presentation is no different. To reach a global audience, you'll have to translate PowerPoints at some…point.

PowerPoint (and equivalents such as Apple's Keynote or Google Slides) is a great visual tool for business. A PowerPoint presentation allows you to communicate ideas with text, images, and multimedia, making the messaging more engaging and easy to follow. Not only is this great for an in-person meeting or live presentation, but it lends itself well to virtual communications. In the academic world, slideshows are also used as teaching/learning aids to help communicate complex topics.

The design elements of a PowerPoint make them harder to create than simple text documents, but the results are worth the effort. Unfortunately, all that effort is wasted if your audience needs help understanding the language!

In this article, we'll explore why companies should translate their PowerPoint presentations and the potential consequences of not doing so. Additionally, we'll delve into the challenges that companies may face when undertaking this task. Finally, learn how to overcome those challenges with our tips for easy, accurate, and cost-effective PowerPoint translations!

5 best practices for translating PowerPoint presentations

1. don't just translate—localize.

Localization is the process of adapting content to suit a specific target audience's cultural, linguistic, and regional preferences. For example, your cricket metaphors and images might inspire audiences in the UK or Australia but confuse North American clients.

Get to know your audiences' preferences before you start. It's always better to go the extra step and localize for best results in different markets rather than just translate word-for-word.

2. Utilize specialized AI translation tools

Leverage advanced AI localization tools, such as Smartcat, to enhance efficiency and accuracy in translating PowerPoint presentations. Although not always perfect, these software tools can provide almost high-quality translations that human experts can finalize. This saves time and money while still delivering excellent results.

3. Maintain consistency in terminology

Establish and adhere to a consistent terminology throughout the PowerPoint presentation to ensure clarity and coherence. Consistency helps avoid confusion among the audience and reinforces the brand's message across different language versions.

4. Adapt visual and design elements

Localize images, graphics, and visual elements to resonate with the cultural preferences and sensitivities of the target audience. Be extra careful about graphics that contain text, and check if they also need translation. Ensure that visuals are appropriate and relatable to the local context to enhance audience engagement and comprehension.

Adjust text layout and formatting to accommodate translated text, especially for languages that require more space than the source language. Ensure proper alignment, font size, and spacing to maintain visual appeal and readability in the localized version.

5. Collaborate with local teams and linguists

Engage local teams or linguists familiar with the target market's language and culture to review and refine the translated content. Their insights and expertise can help ensure linguistic accuracy and cultural appropriateness, enhancing the overall quality of the localized PowerPoint presentation. Local experts will also catch any mistakes before you show your presentation to its intended audience.

How to translate PowerPoint presentations using Smartcat

If you're looking for a solution that helps you incorporate the above best practices, then Smartcat might be right for you. To get the best of both worlds, Smartcat offers a powerful solution that leverages AI and human workflows to streamline the translation process. Follow these steps to translate your PowerPoint presentations seamlessly with Smartcat:

Step 1: Upload your file

Go to the Smartcat platform and sign up or log in to your account.

Click on the shortcut “Translate a file” in your workspace.

Choose your language (source/original language and target language). Simply drag and drop or manually upload your PowerPoint (.PPT) file into the designated area to initiate the translation process.

Step 2: Translate with Smartcat AI

Once your file is uploaded, click on “Translate files” and Smartcat AI will automatically begin translating the content. This usually just takes a few seconds. Smartcat's AI translation provides contextual and near-human quality results, ensuring accurate translations that capture the nuances of your content.

Step 3: Review and edit in Smartcat editor

After the initial translation is complete, navigate to Smartcat Editor.

The Editor provides a preview of your PowerPoint, allowing you to see the translations in context. You'll be able to see how text fits with your images and design elements.

Review the translated text and make any necessary edits or adjustments to ensure accuracy and clarity.

Step 4: Collaborate with local teams or subject matter linguists

You can also invite local teams within your company to collaborate and review the translations. They can make edits directly within Smartcat Editor.

Alternatively, you can hire subject matter linguists from the Smartcat Marketplace to review and refine the translations, ensuring high-quality results. Smartcat eliminates the hassle of finding talent by automatically matching you with contractors based on your project needs.

Step 5: Store your files and utilize translation memory

Smartcat's Translation Memory feature automatically stores previously translated content, allowing you to reuse translations for future PowerPoint presentations.

If you need to create new assets, utilize the Smartcat Content Generator. This tool pulls from existing content to efficiently generate new translations. It remembers your previous work, ensuring the new material is consistent with your brand.

7 reasons why you should translate PowerPoint presentations

Unless your company is hyper-local to a monolingual area, you likely have several compelling reasons to translate PowerPoint presentations. Here are just a few things that translating presentations will help you achieve:

1. Reach a global audience

Translating PowerPoint presentations allows companies to reach a broader audience by communicating in the native languages of their target markets. This inclusivity enhances engagement and understanding among diverse audiences—people prefer to receive information in their native language and will be more likely to pay attention.

For example, English is the most spoken language in the world, with over 1.4 billion speakers . But that's still only 17% of the population. Plus, the majority of those do not speak English as a native language. If you want to maximize global reach, it pays to translate your PowerPoints to the native languages of your target markets.

Source: Statista

2. Ensure clarity and understanding

Reaching a new audience won't help much if they can only understand 20-60% of your message. Translating PowerPoint presentations ensures they accurately convey key messages, concepts, and data to the audience. This clarity is essential for effective communication and decision-making.

3. Win hearts and minds

We get it—it takes more time to translate PowerPoint than to re-use the same slides. But think of the impression you give to your audience.

By neglecting to localize your slides for each audience, you inadvertently prioritize your convenience over their experience. It gives the impression that you do not value their engagement enough to invest the time in localization.

Instead, show the audience that you care about them by translating the slides. This will make them feel appreciated, and they will be more likely to engage with your message.

4. Project professionalism

It's not just about making the audience feel good. It's also about projecting the right image for yourself or your organization. Presenting information in the audience's language demonstrates professionalism and respect for their cultural and linguistic backgrounds. It helps build trust and credibility with clients, partners, and stakeholders.

This is especially important in people-centered fields such as e-learning and marketing. Having presentations in multiple languages demonstrates your commitment to your audience and your organization's technical competence. You can project this competence without breaking the bank thanks to modern AI translation platforms.

5. Enhance collaboration and cohesion within teams

If your business has any international ambitions, you likely have team members from different linguistic backgrounds. You may have teams focused on foreign markets, multinational subsidiaries, or an outsourcing partner based in another country. For example, a US company may have a software development or customer service team in Argentina or India.

In such cases, translating PowerPoints will help streamline internal communications and keep your different language speakers on the same page. This builds consistency and makes distinct teams feel valued in the company.

6. Competitive advantage

Companies that invest in translating their presentations gain a competitive edge by effectively communicating their value proposition, products, and services to international markets ahead of competitors who only operate in one language.

The 'first mover' advantage is real. Establish yourself in a new market as a 'local' brand in the customer's first language. A competitor in a different language will be seen as difficult or foreign and have an uphill struggle to overtake you.

7. Compliance and legal requirements

In some industries, such as law, pharmaceuticals, or finance, translating presentations may be necessary to comply with regulatory requirements or legal obligations in different regions. Be sure to check regulations in the market that you operate in. If you already make a practice of translating your company materials, you'll be prepared for any eventuality.

5 pitfalls of not translating PowerPoint presentations - don't make these mistakes!

On the flip side, failure to translate your PowerPoints can lead to negative consequences for your organization, including:

Miscommunication and misinterpretation - Presenting information in a language the audience needs help understanding can lead to misinterpretations and confusion. This can undermine the credibility of the presenter and the company.

Lost opportunities - Failure to translate presentations may result in missed business opportunities, as potential clients or partners might overlook the benefits or details of the offerings presented.

Damage to brand reputation - Presenting poorly translated or untranslated content reflects negatively on the company's professionalism and attention to detail. It can damage the brand's reputation and credibility in the eyes of international stakeholders.

Legal and compliance risks - In regulated industries, failure to provide translated materials where required by law or industry standards can lead to legal consequences, fines, or reputational damage.

Limited market reach - Without translations, companies limit their market reach and growth potential, as they may struggle to connect with non-English-speaking audiences effectively.

Challenges in translating PowerPoint presentations

While you can achieve basic word-for-word machine translations with Google Translate, it's usually not so simple to translate a PowerPoint. These are the key issues you should be aware of before you start:

Ensuring language quality and cultural appropriateness

One of the primary challenges in translating PowerPoint presentations is ensuring high-quality language that is culturally appropriate for the target audience. Literal translations may not capture the nuances or idiomatic expressions of the source language, leading to misunderstandings.

Even famous brands can make mistakes. Have you heard of KFC's notorious Chinese translation of 'Finger-licking good' to 'Eat your fingers off' in Hong Kong? Blunders like this are why it’s crucial to work with local experts.

Maintaining consistent terminology

Maintaining consistency of terminology across slides and presentations can be challenging, especially when multiple translators or agencies are involved. Even in English, terminology like 'soda' vs. 'fizzy drink' vs. 'pop' for carbonated soft drinks will resonate with different regions. Inconsistent terminology can confuse the audience and undermine the coherence of the presentation.

Localizing images

Images used in PowerPoint presentations often contain text or cultural references that require localization. An audience in one country may not recognize images of certain celebrities, historical events, or other references from another country. Failing to translate or adapt these images can hinder comprehension and relevance for the target audience.

Formatting and design issues

Translating PowerPoint presentations can present formatting and design challenges, particularly when the source text is lengthy. Some languages require more space (characters) than others to communicate the same thing. You may find that, after a basic translation, your design elements move or obscure text. Adjusting layouts, fonts, and spacing to accommodate translated text without compromising visual appeal is essential.

Slow turnaround times

Dependence on external agencies or translators for PowerPoint translation can result in delays, especially when important meetings or events are coming up. Slow turnaround times can disrupt business operations and impact decision-making processes.

Get that pitch-perfect presentation

Translating PowerPoint presentations is essential for companies looking to expand their market reach. Fortunately, good translation and localization services are much more accessible than they used to be. By addressing these challenges proactively and leveraging advanced technologies like Smartcat AI, companies can effectively achieve their business objectives on a global scale.

How to Translate PowerPoint Presentations (2024)

Find the best way to translate a PPT document by using the filters below . We’ll show you the method that suits your need.

I'm translating PPT for:

Professional use: Translate PPT files using a translation management system

Best for: Professional use; more cost-effective; maintains formatting.

• maintains document formatting;
• integrated features such as machine translation and translation memories;
• improved team collaboration (no more countless back and forth e-mails).

If you need to translate a PPT file for business use, the most cost-effective solution is using a translation management system (TMS) , such as Redokun. This tool is specifically designed to make your document translation easier so that you spend less time getting to your final deliverable.

By using a TMS to translate your PowerPoint presentation, you can automate three main tasks that tend to be the most time-consuming when done by hand. They are:

• Extracting the text into organized segments for translation
• Getting translation suggestions for each segment
• Preserving the styles, images, and layout of your presentation

Here's a quick video of how to translate your PowerPoint on Redokun. If you prefer, you can also continue scrolling for the step-by-step tutorial.

Here are the 5 simple steps to translate your PPT document with Redokun (look out for the productivity boosters).

Step 1: Upload your PPT document to Redokun

First, sign in to your Redokun account and upload your PPT document. Tip: You can activate your free trial without entering credit card information.

See Redokun in action: See how you can translate a PowerPoint document in Redokun with our interactive demo.

The upload wizard will guide you through setting up your PPT translation project, which is pretty simple.

• First, set the source language of your PPT presentation.
• Then, select the target languages you want to add to the project.

Step 2: Assign your translators for each target language

For each target language you selected in Step 1, you can assign one or more translators (or even yourself) to work on that specific language.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be a translator. You can loop in your editor, your business partner, or anyone involved in approving the final translation of your PPT presentation.

Productivity Booster 1: And just by uploading your PPT file to Redokun, you can happily skip over one of the most tedious jobs in translation history. Copy-pasting your translatable text into a spreadsheet - Redokun does this automatically for you.

Don't have an in-house translation team? Here is a list of 40+ places you can find a translator .

Step 3: Pre-translate your entire PPT presentation (Optional)

Next, you’ll have the option to pre-translate your PPT document. This will pre-fill all text segments in your presentation with machine translation or previous translations you’ve confirmed on Redokun.

By pre-translating, your work is half done before you even open the document. Now you can focus on making the translations perfect rather than starting from a blank slate.

Step 4: Translate with your team using the enhanced Web Editor

Now you and your team members can start translating your PPT presentation in the Web Editor, which will look like this:

Here’s quick tour of what you can do in the Web Editor:

• Discuss the project and tag your teammates: You’ll have two ways to do this. You can use the top section to leave general comments and instructions for the project. Or you be more specific by leaving comments at a specific text segment you need help with.
• Translate your document in context: On the left side, you’ll see the page previews of your PPT presentation. This is better than translating in a spreadsheet because you’ll have access to the visual context while translating each segment. Knowing where the text will go in a presentation - and what other texts surrounds it - can help you better understand how to translate them.

At the segment level, there are also a couple of neat things you can do:

• Get machine translation suggestions: Google Translate and DeepL machine translators are built into your workspace. Just click on any segment and the suggestions will appear below it.
• Get suggestions from your Translation Memories (TM): ou can automatically reuse any translations from other projects you’ve completed on Redokun before. TM is the key to language consistency, especially if your PPT slides are just one part of your business presentation.

You are likely to use the same terminology or phrases across different documents, and you don’t have to keep translating them. Even if a new segment is only 70% similar to an old segment, you can pull up the old translation to update it.

If you have more than one translator assigned to your document, they can translate together in real time - just like in Google Docs. You can see who is online in the Web Editor and what they’re currently working so you don’t accidentally override their work.

Productivity Booster 2: Imagine if Slack, PowerPoint, and Google Translate were rolled up into one tool. The Web Editor is basically that. I find it extremely convenient to not have to switch between tools while translating a document, which often breaks my concentration (like when I accidentally switched to YouTube).

Step 5: Download translated PPT presentation from Redokun

Once you have filled up all the segments, click Confirm Translation at the top right corner of the Web Editor. This will lock your document from further changes and save your work into your Translation Memories database for future reference.

On the Document Detail page, click Download to generate a copy of your PowerPoint presentation in the target language. All the original images and text arrangements will remain. You’ll have a complete set of PPT slides ready to be shown to a new audience.

Productivity Booster 3: This is perhaps the biggest booster of them all. Using a TMS like Redokun, you can skip an entire stage in your translation workflow - the design stage. You’ve already spent so much time creating the original PPT presentation. Why spend even more time re-creating the same presentation… but in another language? You have the ability to auto-generate a translated PPT slide deck, which only needs a little

Personal use: Use the built-in translation tool in Microsoft PowerPoint

Recommended for: Personal use; maintains simple formatting.

You can translate your PPT document within Microsoft PowerPoint. This method creates a simple machine translation of your content that is suitable for personal reading (here is a guide with all the info about machine translation software ).

First, open your PowerPoint Presentation. On the toolbar, select Review > Translate .

The translator menu will appear on your right as seen below. You may click on any text box you wish to translate, and the selected text will automatically show up in the menu.

Next, choose your source language and target language. Once the translation is complete, click the Insert button to replace the original text on the slide with its translation.

Keep in mind that you can only translate one text box at a time using the built-in translator. If you have multiple text boxes on each slide (e.g. title, subtitle, captions), you need to manually insert each corresponding translation.

Important Info

• You can only translate PPT documents slide-by-slide; one text box at a time. This isn't the most productive method for PowerPoint presentations with a significant number of slides.
• Since you're doing the manual work of transferring the translations into the text boxes, you have control over the slide layout (additionally, here is a list with the most common translation problems and their solutions including the design and formatting issues). However, it also means you need to spend time adjusting the font styles and sizes if the target language doesn't support the original style.
• Microsoft Translator is a free machine translation service that is not suitable for business use. The translated copy may contain inaccuracies and inconsistencies that must go through intensive post-editing.
• Only recommended if you're only translating a PPT file for your own understanding.

Personal use: Upload the PPT slides to Google Translate

Recommended for: Personal use; does not maintain formatting.

This is another fast and free method to translate a PPT file for your own reading.

In almost the same way you can also translate word documents , translate excel spreadsheets , and pdf documents .

First, go to Google Translate on your browser and select the Documents tab.

Select the source language and the target language of your choice. Then, upload your PowerPoint presentation, which can be either a .ppt file or a .pptx file.

Once you click Translate, the entire translated PPT presentation will appear as plain text in your browser. As shown below, any images and font styles will not be maintained. You may only transfer the translation into your PPT document yourself using the good ol' copy-paste method.

• Translations for Google Translate are usually sufficient for those who want to translate a PPT file for their own reference. However, it is not so suitable for professional use, such as in business meetings or market distribution.
• As mentioned, there is no way to download the translation as a PowerPoint file with all its headings and design elements intact. If you have a 30-page PPT presentation to translate, there are better solutions further down this list.
• To protect your valuable data, it's best to avoid uploading your business documents onto free translation websites.

Why use Redokun to translate PPT files?

Do you translate your PPT slides (among other types of documents) for your business? Do you feel like you and your team spend way too much time preparing documents for multilingual markets? So much so that it takes away your focus from the actual marketing work you still need to do in those markets?

If you do, then you should use a translation management system like Redokun, which helps you breeze through the manual tasks that nobody likes to do. With just one simple tool, you can manage your team and assets centrally while speeding up your translation process.

Here are eight more reasons to adopt Redokun today.

1. It's super easy to start using the tool with your entire team.

Redokun is intentionally simple so that busy marketing teams can start enjoying the features and delivering projects right away . When you first open the software, you'll know where everything is, and what each button does - no guessing game.

You can introduce the tool to your team at the start of the day and get everyone on board in just a few hours (if not minutes). Redokun might be packed with features, but it doesn't come with the headaches and lengthy onboarding that usually come with learning a new tool.

2. You can easily keep track of your projects and collaborators, making sure deadlines are met.

The administrative work can build up very quickly when you're translating one document into three or more languages. You need to start the email thread, CC and BCC the right people, extract the text for the translator... the list goes on. Once that's done, you still need to follow up with the translators or else the project might come to a standstill.

With Redokun, you only need to upload your original document and assign a translation team to each language pair by entering their email. The text extraction and notification of assignment are done automatically. When your team starts translating on Redokun, you can check the overall progress from your dashboard. If someone do fall behind schedule, you can also quickly ping them within Redokun to find out what's going on.

3. Help your translation team feel more productive and speed up their work.

Speaking of falling behind schedule, it's usually because the content is complex or technical, or you have large volume of text to translate. So how can you help your translators speed things up when they feel overwhelmed by that 20-page document they need to translate?

The quick solution is computer-assisted translation , such as using Google Translate or DeepL. Redokun integrates these tools into its Web Editor. So whenever your team feels like they need a little inspiration, they can receive translation suggestions in just one click. You can even pre-translate an entire PPT document so that the only work left to do is to review and polish.

4. Preserve the design and layout of your translated PPT files effortlessly.

By translating on Redokun, you save a lot of time because you don't need to manually reproduce the PPT file for each language . Once the translation is done, Redokun automatically generates a PPT file for you, which contains the translation in the exact same design and layout as your original PPT file.

So instead of spending hours on design interventions, you can generate multilingual version of your PPT presentations in a couple of minutes.

5. Translate your frequently used terms and terminologies consistently.

By being consistent, your brand voice becomes more easily recognizable. Since your Translation Memory database is built into Redokun, you won't need to second guess how to translate the terminologies you often use.

Now “terminology” is a broad term that encompasses a number of things. It could be your product names, your headings and subheadings, or even industry-specific jargon.

Now you only need to translate these segments once. And in subsequent projects where they appear again, the Web Editor tells you exactly how you translated them the last time. Saves you the hassle of going back to check an older PPT file that's stashed somewhere in the archives.

6. Update your PPT presentation across multiple languages quickly.

Let’s say the translations are already in progress but your PowerPoint presentation needs to be updated. It’s easy to update it in one language but doing it in multiple languages is harder. But with Redokun, you only have to upload the revised PPT document in the source language . Your translators will be automatically notified of newly added text they need to translate - without compromising any of the translations they’ve completed.

7. Translate different types of documents with the same tool.

PowerPoint isn’t the only document you can translate on Redokun. You can also upload your Word , Excel , XML , HTML , or SRT subtitle files to the Web Editor.

You will likely have content that is written in different file formats. Having them under one roof saves you time and money because you don't need to switch to another tool or workflow just to translate another piece of content. You can also ensure that your translations are consistent across different content types.

In fact, many businesses fail at doing marketing translation because they look at each content separately. But in the grand scheme of branding, every piece of content you publish is related to one another, regardless if it’s a PowerPoint slide deck or a product catalog. The medium may be different, but the messages should stay the same so that your audience remembers you.

That’s why businesses with effective global branding should consider using Redokun for its translation memory software .

8. Create a translation workflow that's clear and enjoyable for everyone.

Your team feels more motivated when they always know what their next step is (and who to ping if they don’t). By consolidating your efforts on one platform, you’ll always know where to find what you need and how to deliver important updates.

How to know if your team dynamics are suffering? If you find that your current translation workflow is messy because it involves a number of people, it’s a sign to evaluate the core of your operations.

Where do you start the conversation when creating a new translation project? How do you pass along key information to your translators and anyone who comes after them? Where do they translate your documents?

If any of the above is done manually or executed on separate platforms… then the missing piece in your workflow is a translation management system.

Now I understand that not everyone on your team will feel like this tool is necessary, and you might have some hesitations yourself. So here’s a way to try a translation management system without any kind of commitment. I’d like to invite you and your team to a 14-day free trial of Redokun .

Just create an account with any email and follow the guide above to translate your first PPT presentation together.

How to Translate in PowerPoint

Businesspeople, teachers, speakers… they all end up needing translations at one point in their careers. That’s only natural, when you have such amazing presentations, you attract people from all over the world, and it can happen that our audience doesn’t speak the same language. But worry not, because in this tutorial you are going to learn how to translate PowerPoint slides in four easy steps!

The first  thing you need is to open the presentation in PowerPoint. For this example, we have used the colorful and funny template Kindergarten Sight Word Books.

How to Translate in PowerPoint Step by Step

• Go to Review > Translate.
• When the Translator menu opens, choose the language you want to translate to. The program should automatically detect the source language.
• Then, select the text box you want translated and it will automatically appear in the target language.
• If you want to change the original text and insert the translation, just click on Insert.

Unfortunately, this tool only allows you to translate one text box at a time, but it is still a great way of getting a grasp of the meaning of a presentation in another language. If you need a professional translation, we recommend hiring a translator, though. 

In Slidesgo , we rely on the best translators for our templates, and that is why we have an assortment of designs in French, German, Portuguese and Spanish (apart from English, of course!).

What You Need

The quickest and easiest way to convert a PDF to PowerPoint is to use an online service. There are a range of options out there, so search for your own favorite if you wish.

Step 1: Navigate to the ILovePDF conversion page, here .

Step 2: Select Select PDF file then choose the file from the file explorer window and select Open . In this example, we'll be converting the Living Rulebook from one of my favorite board games, Twilight Imperium .

Step 3: Upload any additional files that you wish to convert, then when ready, select Convert to PPTX .

Step 4: Wait for the conversion to finish. If it's a particularly large PDF with lots of images, it may take a few minutes to convert.

If you want to have the ability to convert PDF files to PowerPoint files whenever you want, or without sending that sensitive information to a remote server somewhere, you can always download an offline converter. We recommend the free PDF editor and merger PDFGear .

Step 1: Download PDFGear from the official website . Install it like you would any other application.

Step 2: Open PDFGear and select the Convert from PDF tab . Then select PDF to PPT .

Step 3: Select Add a file and choose the PDF you want to convert using File Explorer, then select Open .

Microsoft Office, or Microsoft 365, is a premium application suite that you need to pay for to get full access to. That is, unless you use the web apps, or the free trials, or you're a student. Then you can get Microsoft Office for free. And don't forget the excellent Microsoft Office alternatives you can try (for free!) too.

Here's how to get Microsoft 365 for free, in a few different ways.

When it comes to cross-platform files, two of the most widely used image formats you’ll see are PDFs and JPGs. The Portable Document Format (PDF) was launched by Adobe back in 1992, while the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG) was unveiled the same year, and was developed by its titular organization, in collaboration with IBM, Mitsubishi, AT&T, and Canon.

Google Slides is very convenient, but sometimes a PDF is more useful. Luckily, you can save a Google Slides deck as a PDF from both your computer or when you use the smartphone app. The format is more universal. You can easily print a PDF or even throw it into your custom GPT to have conversations based on the contents. The best part is that you can convert any Google Slides file into a PDF easily using these instructions.
