Export iPad

Once you’re done presenting, you can easily export your presentation and speaker notes as printouts, publish them online, or make them shareable in other apps.

You can export your files from the Editor by tapping the iOS sharing button.

PDF Export

PDF is the best option if you want to share your presentation in a paper-friendly format.

Open the Share menu from the toolbar, expand PDF and choose which layout you want to use for your PDF export:

  • 1 slide per page
  • 1 slide per page, borderless
  • 1 slide per page, speaker notes
  • 1 slide per page, notes placeholders
  • 2 slides per page
  • 3 slides per page, notes placeholders
  • Text and images
  • Side by Side

You can export only the slides, or slides with the speaker notes. In addition, you can choose your preferred paper format. To make the file smaller, turn on Reduce PDF File Size.

The PDF section of the Share inspector, with the Layout menu open.

PPTX Export

💡 Keep in mind that exporting as a PowerPoint file is in beta. It may not always work as expected.

Exporting as .pptx makes your Presenter file compatible with PowerPoint, which means you can view it in Keynote, and Google Slides too.

After tapping Export PowerPoint, the share sheet offers the .pptx file.

The export to PowerPoint option currently supports:

Feature Support
Text style Text color, bold, italic
Lists Bulleted and numbered lists, including nested lists
Presentation backgrounds Plain colors and images (jpeg, png) with opacity support
Images png, jpg, partial support for SVG
Image size and position Position and size (cover/fit)
Videos mp4
Tables Tables with basic borders
Code blocks Syntax highlighting and block background
Maths Support for formulas with default font size and color
Header and footer Slide number, date, custom text, and logo
Charts Bar, line, pie, and donut charts, as native PowerPoint charts

💡 When you use custom fonts in your presentations, they may not display correctly on a system that doesn’t have them installed. Google Slides only offers the fonts in its own library, so fonts installed on your device won’t carry over.

Images Export

Export your slides as .png or .jpeg images to easily integrate them into other apps.

💡 If you want to export your slides in a specific layout—such as a square format for sharing on Social Media—first adjust their aspect ratio in Settings or in the share panel before you export them.

The Images section of the Share inspector, with the Aspect Ratio menu open.

HTML Export

Exporting your presentation as HTML makes it easy to add your slides to your website. By default, exporting generates a full package that contains your presentation, graphics, the theme, and the JavaScript rendering engine. You can turn off the theme and engine in the export options, but keep them included if you publish the presentation on its own: it needs them to display.

The HTML section of the Share inspector, with the filename, folder and engine options.

After you’ve exported, upload the files to your preferred hosting solution (GitHub Pages, for example) and share the URL with your audience.

The exported result will be interactive like your original presentation. It renders dynamic elements such as videos or audio, and includes the responsive design too.

💡 When you upload the files to your hosting solution, be sure to use the same folder hierarchy as in the export. Don’t upload all the files contained in folders separately.

By default, the exported HTML file is named “index.html”, which most hosting solutions, including GitHub Pages, use as the start page. If you change the file name in the export options, make sure it matches what your hosting solution expects.

Markdown Export

You can export your presentation as a regular Markdown file. Your slides, along with your Speaker Notes, will appear just as you wrote them in the Editor.

All local images used in the document will be exported to the same “media” folder.

The Markdown section of the Share inspector, with the local media options.

Exporting as Markdown gives you simplicity, high portability, and compatibility with many other apps, making it a favored choice for many writers, developers, and content creators.
