   You can convert them locally without uploading the presentation. The best option depends on the format you need:

   • PDF: In desktop PowerPoint, use File → Export or File → Save As → PDF, then save to a local folder. You can choose options such as a slide range or handouts. (support.microsoft.com)
   • Images: PowerPoint can export slides as image files, such as PNG or JPEG—either one slide or all slides. (support.microsoft.com)
   • Video or handouts: PowerPoint’s File → Export menu includes other output formats, including video and Word-based handouts. (support.microsoft.com)
   • Another presentation format: If your organization allows it, a locally installed office suite may be an option. Check a sample first, since layouts, fonts, animations, or embedded media may not convert exactly.

   For confidential work files, use an app already approved by your employer, save the output to an approved local or network location, and check that the folder isn’t automatically syncing to personal cloud storage. Avoid online converters; ask IT if you’re unsure whether a particular tool or destination is approved.
