Why translate PPT files with DeepL?
Presentation slides don't have the luxury of other files’ reflowing pages: Every line has to fit the space you give it. And it’s frustrating finding your presentation’s carefully prepared formatting ruined after the translation process. DeepL PPT file translation aims to fix that.
Wider context, sharper translations
DeepL's file translator uses expanded context windows to read meaning across a full slide rather than line by line, producing more natural, nuanced translations.
Slides that hold their shape
Text boxes, slide masters, and design elements stay in place after translation, even as sentence length shifts between languages. Your deck keeps its shape rather than overflowing or breaking.
Built-in top-tier security
DeepL protects presentation files under GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and BSI C5 Type 2 compliance. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest; on paid plans, DeepL deletes your data directly after translation. There’s no third party access of free or Pro users' data. See how DeepL protects your files.
Bulk translation, multiple languages
Import files from your computer or the cloud and translate in bulk in over 100 languages simultaneously, in a single streamlined workflow. See the languages DeepL supports.
Commitment to quality
Presentations often carry text inside charts, diagrams, and other graphics alongside body copy. Custom fonts and image-heavy slides can affect translation quality and layout. For the clearest results, translate presentations with fewer visuals where possible.
Using DeepL results in a 50% reduction in post-editing workload for linguists and content teams. Read about DeepL's commitment to quality.
