# What will I actually be able to edit? Try a real deck

> Preview an existing ReDeck conversion, then use its download menu to export the PowerPoint and original PDF. Open the .pptx in PowerPoint to change recovered text and move available visuals. These examples let you judge the edits you need before converting your own deck.

Tested: October 30, 2026 · Verified on public sample conversions (1376×768 and 2752×1536 pt) in PowerPoint and LibreOffice 26.8

**Editable output means you can select and change the recovered text. Supported shapes and separated visuals can also be edited or moved; complex artwork, charts, and tables can remain pictures or grouped visuals.**

## How do I check whether a conversion is useful?

1. Open a sample below and inspect the recovered text and visuals in ReDeck's preview.
2. Use the download menu for PowerPoint (.pptx) and the original PDF. Open the .pptx in PowerPoint to try the edits.
3. In PowerPoint, change a title or paragraph and move an available illustration or shape. Some complex artwork is kept together to preserve its appearance.
4. Review line breaks, small labels, names, numbers, and image edges before deciding whether the result fits your task.

## What you'll be able to edit in the PowerPoint file?

| Source content | What you can expect | What to check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Detected words and numbers | Native PowerPoint text boxes: change wording, font, size, color, and position. | Reading accuracy, line wrapping, and overflow. |
| Supported simple solid shapes | Native PowerPoint shapes when the shape can be recovered cleanly. | Whether the particular shape is separate and its appearance matches. |
| Separated photos, icons, and illustrations | Movable picture objects; some artwork stays grouped or in the background. | Selection, cutout edges, and the area behind the object. |
| Charts and tables | Can remain pictures, with no native chart data or table cells. | Rebuild from source data if you need to change values or structure. |
| Text in a scan or flattened slide | Recovered words with an approximate font match. | Small text, language-specific characters, and font differences. |

## Will my own NotebookLM or Gemini Notebook deck look the same?

These are saved public examples, not a guarantee for every source file. Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM) exports, screenshots, and scans differ in clarity and complexity. Start with the original PDF when available, choose a representative page, and try the actual edits you need. Detailed scenes or overlapping artwork may stay together so separating them does not damage the design.

## FAQ

### Can I edit the sample directly in ReDeck's browser preview?

The preview lets you inspect the conversion. Download the PowerPoint (.pptx) and edit it in PowerPoint or another compatible presentation app.

### Can I download the examples and inspect them in PowerPoint?

Yes. Open a linked conversion and use the download menu to export the PowerPoint (.pptx) and the original PDF. Inspect the text boxes and other objects in your own presentation app.

### Can I edit Chinese or Japanese text after conversion?

Detected Chinese and Japanese text is exported as editable text boxes. Review characters, punctuation, font substitution, and line breaks in your own sample. There is no guarantee that every small label or unusual character is recovered correctly.

### Does ReDeck translate the slides?

Conversion recovers editable content. To translate it, replace the recovered wording yourself in PowerPoint or your preferred presentation app, then review the layout for the new text length.

### Can I fix a number inside a chart?

If the number was recovered as a separate text box, you can edit that text. This does not change the chart's underlying data or redraw it. For accurate chart updates, use the original spreadsheet or rebuild the chart.
