Frequently asked questions
How do I open a .key file on Windows?+
Convert it here: the PDF shows every slide and opens anywhere. No Keynote or Apple account needed.
What is kept from the slides?+
Titles and text boxes with their fonts, sizes and colours, pictures, tables and charts, each in its place on the slide. Animations, transitions and videos are not included.
Are speaker notes included?+
No, the PDF shows the slides only.
Why does my slide look different from Keynote?+
Theme backgrounds and some shapes are drawn simply. For an exact copy, export from Keynote itself (File > Export To > PDF).
Are my files uploaded?+
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your presentation never leaves your device.
