Unacademy is one of India's leading ed-tech platforms, offering courses for UPSC, NEET, JEE, and various competitive exams. While their digital slides look great on screen, converting them for printing can be tricky. This guide walks you through the complete process.
Why Unacademy Slides Need Conversion
Unacademy's slides are designed for digital viewing with:
- Dark backgrounds optimized for screens
- Vibrant colors that don't translate well to print
- High-contrast themes that consume excessive ink
- Animations and transitions (lost in PDF form)
Step 1: Download Slides from Unacademy
First, access your course materials on Unacademy. Navigate to the lesson you want to print and look for the download option. Most courses allow PDF downloads of lecture slides.
Pro tip: Download all related slides at once to batch process them later.
Step 2: Convert Using Printify Notes
Open Printify Notes and upload your downloaded Unacademy PDF. The tool will render each slide as a preview.
Step 3: Apply Optimal Settings
For Unacademy slides, these settings work best:
- Invert Colors: ON - Converts dark backgrounds to light
- Brightness: +10 to +20 for clearer text
- Contrast: +5 to improve readability
- Grayscale: Optional but saves significant ink
Step 4: Arrange Multiple Pages
Since lecture slides often have less content per page, consider using the multi-page layout feature to fit 2 or 4 slides per printed page. This saves paper without sacrificing readability.
Step 5: Export and Print
Review your converted slides in the preview, then click "Export PDF" to download. Print using your preferred settings - we recommend draft mode for study copies.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Diagrams look weird after inversion: Try reducing brightness or excluding specific pages
- Text too faint: Increase contrast setting
- Colors important for understanding: Skip grayscale mode for those pages
