I need help for converting pdf to powerpoint presentation without limit

Does anyone know how to do this on Windows 10? 

I need to convert a PDF file into a PowerPoint presentation, but every online tool I've tried has annoying restrictions—either a page limit, a file size cap, or they slap a watermark on the output. I'm looking for a solution that's genuinely free or at least has a very generous free tier without these limitations.

Does anyone know a simple way to convert pdf to powerpoint on my Windows 10 PC? At this time, I prefer using a desktop app instead as they are more capable of preserving the formatting so I can use the PPT for presentation without additional edits.

    Microsoft PowerPoint is a built-in component of Microsoft Office 2016 and above, a reliable desktop tool to convert pdf to powerpoint without installing extra conversion software.

    How to Convert PDF to PowerPoint

    Step 1: Launch the software on your computer.

    Step 2: Click “File,” select “Open,” and then choose the target PDF file from your local folder.

    Step 3: Read the prompt that appears, then click OK.

    Step 4: Wait for PowerPoint to finish parsing and converting the PDF content into presentation slides.

    Finally, click File → Save As, set the output format to .pptx, and save the file to your local drive.

    Native Office solutions are far superior to most third-party tools when it comes to preserving the original formatting details, making them ideal for users who already own the Office suite and frequently need to convert PDFs to slides.

    Pros

    • Maximizes the preservation of the original text, images, and table formatting during conversion and supports complex multi-element layouts.
    • The conversion process is stable and supports direct editing of all converted slide content within PowerPoint.

    Cons

    • Cannot be used independently; a valid Microsoft Office 2016 or later license is required.
    • Full conversion functionality is not free; users without an activated Office license cannot use it.
    • Very large PDF files containing a large number of high-resolution images may result in slower conversion speeds.
