A PDF that is actually a PDF
Not a stack of screenshots with a .pdf extension. Real vector text and shapes, your fonts embedded, sharp at any zoom.
Most slide exports are pictures wearing a PDF costume
Rasterised slides look acceptable until someone tries to select a sentence, search the file, or print it at full size. Then the text turns soft, the copy button does nothing, and the handout looks worse on paper than it did on screen.
What you get
- Real vector text and shapes — selectable, searchable, sharp at any zoom
- Your fonts embedded in the file, so it renders the same on a machine that has never seen them
- LaTeX equations typeset properly, not pasted in as images
- Charts and tables exported as vectors rather than screenshots
- One export that works for handouts, archives and print
Vector text versus a picture of a slide
| Mosra PDF | Slides exported as images | |
|---|---|---|
| Text selectable | Yes | No |
| Searchable in a PDF reader | Yes | No |
| Readable by a screen reader | Yes | No |
| Stays sharp when zoomed | Yes | Blurs |
| Fonts | Embedded | Baked into pixels |
| File size on a text-heavy deck | Smaller | Larger |
How it works
Build the deck
Text, images, charts, equations — whatever the lesson needs.
Open Export
PDF sits at the top of the export list. There is nothing to configure.
Print or share it
The file behaves like a document, because that is what it is.
What this does not do
- A PDF is a static document. Animations, transitions, video and interactive questions have no PDF equivalent — the slide is exported as it looks at rest.
- It is not a tagged, WCAG-conformant accessible PDF. The text is real text, which is most of the way there, but there is no reading-order or heading structure yet.
- Effects a PDF cannot express are rasterised rather than dropped. The page still looks right; that part of it stops being vector.
Questions
Can I select and copy text from the PDF?
Yes. The text is real text, not part of an image, so selection, copy and full-text search all work — including search inside your LMS or document management system.
What happens to my fonts?
They are embedded in the file. Someone opening it on a machine that has never installed those fonts still sees the deck exactly as you designed it, with no substitution surprises.
Do maths equations survive the export?
Yes, and as text rather than pictures. LaTeX equations are typeset in the PDF itself, so they stay crisp when printed or zoomed.

Bring your .pptx files, and take them back
Import the decks you already have, work on them in the browser, and export to editable PowerPoint whenever you want. Nothing gets locked in.
Video exportSend the lesson as a video
MP4 or WebM, up to 4K, with your animations and transitions where you put them. No screen recording, no re-timing. Video is rendered locally, so this one lives in the desktop app rather than the browser.
e-Learning exportTurn a presentation into a SCORM package
Design the deck once, export the package your LMS already knows how to read. No rebuilding the same lesson in a separate authoring tool.
