Exporting

Everything you export is generated in your browser and downloaded to your device; nothing is uploaded anywhere. Export and save actions live in the File tab (the backstage), and the most common ones are repeated in the "..." overflow menu at the right end of the toolbar.

Saving back to PowerPoint

1. Click the File tab.
2. Click Save to download the presentation as a .pptx file, or open Save As for all formats:

Save As option	What you get
PowerPoint Presentation	An editable .pptx file with all your changes.
PowerPoint Show	A .ppsx file that opens directly into a slideshow.
Macro-Enabled Presentation	A .pptm file that preserves VBA macros. Shown only when the opened file contains macros.
Package for Sharing	A .zip bundle containing the .pptx plus a readme.

The Save button in the title bar does the same as File > Save. Saved files round-trip your edits: added and changed elements, slide order, notes, sections, and so on.

There is no Ctrl+S

Because the app runs in a browser, Ctrl+S triggers the browser's own page-save dialog, not a presentation save. Use the Save button or the File tab instead. Files always save as downloads; check your browser's download folder.

Exporting images, PDF, GIF, and video

Open File > Export:

Option	What you get	Scope
Create PDF	A PDF with one page per slide, captured at high resolution.	Whole deck
Export current slide	A PNG image of the current slide.	Current slide
Create a Video	A .webm video that plays through the deck, a few seconds per slide.	Whole deck
Create an Animated GIF	A compact looping GIF of the deck.	Whole deck
Copy as Image	Copies the current slide to your clipboard as an image.	Current slide

For whole-deck formats a progress dialog shows each slide being captured, with a Cancel button if you change your mind. The finished file downloads automatically.

Printing

1. Open File > Print and click Print Presentation. A print dialog opens with a live preview.
2. Choose what to print under Print What: Full Page Slides, Handouts (with a slides-per-page setting), Notes Pages (each slide above its speaker notes), or Outline.
3. Set Orientation, Color Mode (Color, Grayscale, Black and White), whether to Frame Slides, and the Slide Range (All Slides, Current Slide, or a custom From/To range).
4. Click Print. Your browser's print window opens, where you pick the printer or save as PDF.

Notes handouts

Printing Notes Pages is the way to get a document that pairs each slide with its speaker notes.

Protecting and inspecting the file

The File > Info page offers:

• Protect Presentation - set a password so the saved file is encrypted.
• Inspect Presentation - review document properties.
• Embed Fonts - keep typography consistent when the file moves between devices.
• Digital Signatures - view signatures attached to the presentation.

Fidelity and size notes

Raster exports are an approximation

PNG, PDF, GIF, and video exports rasterize the on-screen slide using html2canvas. Most content captures faithfully, but a few CSS effects are approximated during capture, so minor visual differences are possible. See Limitations for the complete list.

Very large slides

Raster exports are bounded by your browser's maximum canvas size. Extremely large slides exported at high scale may hit this limit.
