Each slide in your PDF becomes an image you edit like any other media: add captions, a voiceover, or animations. These steps cover the manual upload. **Prefer a shortcut?** Descript also has a T**urn slides into video** template that builds your video with the help of Underlord. [Learn more about templates.](/templates-and-presets/underlord-templates) **Before you start** * Descript currently supports PDF (.pdf) slide decks only. You won’t be able to import .pptx or .key files. * Password-protected PDFs cannot be imported. * Each slide is imported as a static image. Animations, transitions, and embedded media (like video or audio) aren’t preserved. ## Import your slide presentation 1. [Create a new project](/getting-started/create-a-new-project) or open an existing one. 2. Open [the Project panel](/descript-tour/project-panel) in the right-hand sidebar. 3. Drag and drop your PDF file into the **Files** section. Descript will convert each slide into a .jpg image and store them in your Project Files. You can add them to scenes like any other media layer.
