Hand-Outs (PDF Slides to Handouts Converter)

Use it when

• You need to turn lecture slides or a meeting deck into compact 2, 4, 6, or 9 slides-per-page handouts through a purpose-built preview and layout interface.
• Your slide PDF is confidential and must not be uploaded; processing and export need to happen entirely in the browser.

What it solves

Not the fit when

• Input must already be a PDF; it does not convert PowerPoint or Keynote files.
• Not a PDF editor; slide content cannot be modified, only laid out.
• No API or CLI documented; interaction is through the browser UI.
• editing slide content or text
• converting pptx or keynote files
• OCR of scanned documents
• server-side batch processing

Install

Use https://hand-outs.com, or run locally: `git clone https://github.com/flodlol/PDF-Slides-to-Handouts-Converter.git && cd PDF-Slides-to-Handouts-Converter && npm install && npm run dev`, then open http://localhost:3000.

Invoke

Drag and drop a PDF in the browser, choose a layout (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9 slides per page, portrait or landscape), adjust margins, frames, notes lines, and slide selection in the live preview, then download the generated handout PDF.
