PowerPoint slides that must become CheapFAST print pages
Answer first: drop a PPT or PPTX. Pick PDF if you will upload to a CheapFAST order. Pick JPG if you need one image per slide for a poster or a social crop. Convert once for free. Then look at every slide as a printed rectangle, not as a projector.
Ratio is the whole game
Most decks are 16:9. Most flyers are 8.5 x 11. Most posters we sell are 11 x 17 or 18 x 24. If you stretch the slide to fill the sheet, a logo circle becomes an oval. CheapFAST will not bless that. Convert, then place with the ratio locked. White bands are allowed. Distortion is not.
A Miami Beach hotel deck often has a photo full bleed on screen and a legal line in 8 point. That legal line will vanish on a yard sign. After convert, rebuild the legal line at a size a driver can read, or leave it off the sign and keep it on the flyer.
What the engine keeps
Fonts that are in the file, photos that are in the file, and the last visible state of each slide. It does not keep click animations. It does not add bleed. Use the guideline gallery after convert. Use Uncrop if a photo needs an extra border. Use Grammar Check on the words before you lock the deck.
Ground shipping stays inside the poster or flyer total when you order. Air is extra. There is no lobby pickup for a same-hour slide print. Call (855) 608-5536 if you need a size the form does not list.
Slide decks that become print without becoming cartoons
A Miami Beach hotel sent 18 slides for an 11 x 17 poster. Only one slide was the poster. The rest were talking points. Convert all 18 if you want a leave-behind packet on color copies. Do not blow slide 4, a chart, into a sidewalk board. Sidewalk type needs four inch letters, not chart footnotes.
Build a print slide: full bleed photo or full bleed color, one headline, one offer, one QR inside cyan. Hide the slide number. Hide Thanks. Hide the confidential footer in 8 point. Then convert that slide. Then place it on the poster guideline with the ratio locked.
One free try, same honesty as Word
The engine costs minutes. The banner tells you when the free try is spent. Unlock with a paid CheapFAST order. Do not create twelve emails to dodge the gate. We would rather you buy 49 color copies, unlock, and convert the real deck.
Embedded video becomes a poster frame at best. Fonts that live only on one laptop shift. Photos cropped by a motion path may jump. Look at every page. If a circle is an oval, you stretched. Undo.
Shipping does not wait on a deck
Once the still pages are honest, quote the form. Posters, flyers, copies. Ground stays FREE on the print line. Air is extra. There is no lobby for a same-hour poster from a keynote. Email support@cheapfastprinting.com if a slide size matches nothing we sell.
Notes pages and hidden slides
Notes pages are for speakers. They should not become flyers. Uncheck notes before you convert if the engine offers a pages choice. Hidden slides stay hidden if the file says so. If a hidden thank-you slide appears, you exported the wrong state. Fix the deck.
Charts that use thin gray lines die on a sunny poster. After convert, thicken the lines or drop the chart and keep the one number that matters. A sidewalk reader has three seconds. A conference deck has thirty minutes. Those are different products.
A 33140 school converted a 40 slide curriculum deck into color copies for binders. That is a copies job on 24 lb bond, not a poster job. They used the free try to check fonts, unlocked with a 49 copy order, then converted the rest. Ground was already in the copy total.
If a photo is a linked file sitting on a USB drive that is not plugged in, the slide shows a box. Pack the PPTX. Email support@cheapfastprinting.com if the engine returns an empty ZIP. Do not keep clicking convert to burn the wait chip.
Master slides and leftover logos
A master slide logo that you forgot to delete will print on every page. After convert, look at the corner of page 2. If a ghost logo sits there, clean the master and convert again after unlock. JPG output is one image per slide. Use that for a poster. Use PDF for a multi-page copy packet.
Transitions do not print. A morph that hides a price until click will print the last visible state, which might be the empty slide. Build a print state. A 33140 realtor lost an offer line that way and caught it on the free try. That is the try working.
Email support@cheapfastprinting.com if the ZIP of JPGs is missing a slide you saw on screen. Count slides in the deck and in the ZIP. Do not assume air shipping will fix a missing slide. Air is a cart click, not a convert setting.
Questions we answer on this bench
Can I print a widescreen slide as a letter flyer?
You can convert it. You should not stretch it. Place the slide on the 8.5 x 11 guideline and keep the original ratio. Leftover bands are honest. Ovals that used to be circles are a fail.
Is the free try the same as Word?
Yes. One free PowerPoint convert, then a paid CheapFAST order unlocks more. The banner on this page is the status.
Do animations export?
No. Print is a still page. Only the visible state of each slide should appear. Build the print state before you convert.
