How to present a PDF from your phone
A PDF is the universal presentation format — but opening it in a PDF reader and pressing arrow keys makes for a clumsy talk. Slidect turns any PDF into a real presentation: full-screen slides on the big screen, full remote control on your phone.
Why present a PDF with Slidect rather than a PDF reader
- Clean full-screen slides — no toolbars, page numbers or reader chrome
- Control from your phone: next/previous, jump to any slide via the grid
- Laser pointer and zoom to highlight details, visible to the audience
- Timer, blackout mode, speaker notes, and live audience Q&A
Set up in three steps
1. Open Slidect on the computer connected to the screen or projector, create a session, and upload your PDF.
2. Scan the QR code with your phone — it becomes the remote, no app or account.
3. Present. Your audience can also scan a QR to follow along, react and ask questions on their own devices.
Works with any PDF
Slide decks exported from PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides, a report, a portfolio, a lecture handout — if it's a PDF, each page becomes a slide. Conversion happens in your browser, so your file itself is never uploaded anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a size or page limit?
Slidect handles typical presentation decks comfortably. Very heavy PDFs simply take a bit longer to convert since it happens in your browser.
Can I present a PDF with no laptop at all?
You need one device to display the slides (any computer with a browser — it can be the venue's) and your phone as the remote.
Is my PDF private?
The PDF is converted to slide images in your browser; the original file never leaves your device, and session data is deleted after the session ends.
