- Takes the vector slide rendition Keynote generated, so typography and alignment match the deck rather than approximating it
- One page per slide, in deck order, ready to print as a handout or attach to an email
- Runs without Keynote, a Mac or an iCloud account
- Builds, transitions, autoplay and presenter notes have no equivalent in a static page and are not included
Keynote embeds a vector PDF rendition of the deck inside each saved document for Quick Look previews, and this tool extracts that rendition, giving one page per slide rendered by Keynote itself.

Drop the file onto the page
The package is opened in this tab and the embedded slide rendition is located and validated.
Download the handout
Check that the slide count matches your deck and that no build-dependent slide needs splitting before you circulate it.
