No re-upload neededThese tools accept .PDF - your file is handed over directly.
No. Everything runs in your browser - your file never leaves your device. How this is verifiable
A deck built in Keynote, and the next pitch is in front of an investor team running nothing but Windows laptops - without the Keynote app, nobody there can reach the slides. This tool pulls out the PDF version every current .key file already ships with, making the slides reachable on any device.
Under the hood it is a simple ZIP container: in an old, 2013-era Keynote ’09 file, macOS and iOS embed a full PDF rendition of the presentation at save time, so Finder, Spotlight and iCloud can show a preview without opening Keynote itself. This tool unpacks locally in your browser exactly that shipped-along PDF and hands it over unchanged - no re-rendering, no interpretation of the slides of its own.
Worth knowing: current Keynote versions (roughly since 2013) only save a JPEG thumbnail into the ZIP at save time, no longer a full PDF - so for a present-day .key file, the PDF preview this tool needs is missing as the normal case, not the exception. When it is missing, the tool reports so openly instead of showing an empty file. Even where a PDF is embedded, animations, slide transitions and auto-advance are inevitably lost, since a PDF only knows fixed, static pages - which does not matter for handouts or a plain read-through of the content.

Limitations: The PDF rendition macOS/iOS ship with the complete presentation is passed on unchanged - so this reliably works only for older Keynote ’09 files. Current Keynote versions (roughly since 2013) save only a JPEG thumbnail instead of a PDF; when the embedded PDF rendition is missing, an open message appears. Animations, transitions and auto-advance are inevitably lost in the process, since a PDF only knows fixed pages. Encrypted presentations are rejected.
No. The preview is read out entirely locally in your browser - nothing is sent anywhere.
No - a PDF only knows static pages, each slide is laid down as one fixed page.
The tool shows a clear message instead of a blank or broken PDF. For a current Keynote file, re-saving in Keynote will NOT bring back a PDF preview - modern versions only store a JPEG there. With access to Keynote, export yourself via "File > Export To > PDF" instead; without Keynote, ask whoever created the file for a PDF version.
No, the old package format is a folder rather than a single file and cannot be dropped this way. Only the modern, flat .key format is read - and even there only when a PDF preview is actually embedded (see above).
