Or with Homebrew: brew install --cask kapyar/tap/clementine
Your files never leave your Mac unless you share them.

Drag your .key presentations
From Finder, the Desktop, Mail or a browser — anywhere you can drag a file.

Hold Shift (⇧) while dragging and a wheel appears around your pointer. Drop on PDF.
Done
You get PDF handouts. The original is never changed.
Why Clementine
Your presentation never leaves your Mac — Keynote exports it locally.
- Uses Keynote’s export, so slides look exactly right
- Convert several decks at once
- Pair with Compress PDF for email-sized handouts
- Runs on your Mac — nothing is uploaded
PDF Saves a copy as PDF next to the original. The original stays as it is.
This is the wheel you’ll see. Point at other petals to see what else the file can do.
Questions
Do I need Keynote installed?
Yes. It’s free on the App Store.
Can I export slides as images?
