By DeckExport · Reviewed
This comparison is published by DeckExport. Our behavior is based on the implemented converter and public conversion checks. Other products’ features and prices below are their published descriptions, reviewed September 12, 2026; they were not benchmarked or purchase-tested.
| Method | Useful when | Free output and limits | Important difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| DeckExport | A supported public document link needs a PDF preview and selected pages | Complete supported export free; native inputs 12 MB/500 pages, viewer capture 100 pages with image limits | Public access only. Captures have no OCR. Preview and page selection are included. |
| pitch2pdf | You need one of its additional advertised platforms or paid OCR | Advertises first 10 pages free; full PDF with OCR at $3/download or $8/month | Advertises credential-assisted conversion and more source platforms. Check current pricing and privacy before use. |
| EveryPage | A DocSend conversion should also produce a hosted sharing page | Advertises free conversion without an account | Advertises email/passcode handling and image-based PDFs; no OCR. Its workflow creates a share link. |
| Native provider export | You have access to the source and need its own print or export settings | Depends on the provider and document permissions | Often the most direct route for speaker notes, print layouts or a native PDF. Preview and selection options vary. |
Choose by access and output, then price
First check whether the document is publicly accessible. A link that works in your signed-in browser can still require authentication. DeckExport does not ask for source-platform passwords, email verification or NDA acceptance. If your document requires those steps, use an authorized source export or evaluate a tool designed for that workflow.
Next decide what the PDF must contain. Searchable text, speaker notes, embedded links and static slide images are different requirements. A converter that produces a clear picture of every slide has not necessarily preserved text or interactivity. The export-versus-capture guide explains how to tell.
Where DeckExport fits
DeckExport combines supported link retrieval, page preview, filename editing and selection in one workspace. It does not charge to download the rest of a supported document, add a watermark or require a DeckExport account. It checks capture completeness before offering the result.
There are real limits: 12 MB native inputs, 500 PDF pages, and up to 100 captured slides with bounded image sizes. It does not convert Pitch, Canva, Prezi, Papermark or arbitrary Office files directly. It also does not offer OCR, a public document library, data-room export or a supported automation API.
For a public Google Slides link, you can retrieve Google’s native PDF and select slides here. If all you need is a reusable Google export URL, use the PDF-link generator instead.
Webpage URLs need a different kind of converter
A blog, dashboard or article URL usually means HTML-to-PDF rendering. iLovePDF, PDF24 and PDFCrowd advertise that workflow. DeckExport accepts supported sharing links and direct PDF, PNG or JPEG URLs; it does not capture arbitrary HTML websites.
Use Direct Link to PDF when the address returns the actual supported file. Use your browser’s print function or a webpage converter when the address returns a normal website.
