THE ALCHEMIST’S ARCHIVE

The Format
Foundry.

Choose a group of files. The foundry converts them one at a time, preserves each page, and offers individual downloads or one combined PDF.

Conversion direction
Batch downloads Combines in queue order, retaining searchable text. Maximum 128 MB of resulting PDFs. Every file must succeed.
Preservation strategy

Add three timestamped pages after each slide with a video: early (1/6), middle (1/2), and late (5/6). Embedded videos only; codec support varies by browser. Unavailable videos get an explanation page.

MEMORY POLICY

Adaptive browser memory

Files stay on this device. No uploads or browser storage. Files up to 3 GB are accepted experimentally; successful conversion depends on available memory and document complexity. Large PowerPoint videos are read separately; slide images and other data still have safety limits. Download results before closing this tab.

WHAT THE FOUNDRY CONSERVES

The tool chooses between editability and exact appearance page by page.

PowerPoint to PDF renders slide elements together, preserving the visible composition and a searchable text layer where text is recoverable. Animations and video playback are not preserved. Enable experimental video snapshots to add three still-image pages per embedded video.

Lazy automatically typesets readable text from DOCX, PPTX, TXT, Markdown, CSV, JSON, XML and HTML into searchable PDFs with a simplified layout. Existing searchable PDFs are kept. Images and scans need OCR; older .doc files are unsupported.

PDF to PowerPoint rebuilds simple text pages as editable objects; uncommon fonts may substitute. Pages with photographs, color styling, complex vectors, or dense layouts remain high-resolution visual slides.
