Your AI deck looks great in the browser. Then someone asks: 'Can you send this as PowerPoint?' Here is how to export without surprises — and how to keep slides editable after handoff. If you are evaluating tools, start with our AI PowerPoint generator guide.

Before you export

Finish copy edits in the MakeMyDeck editor.
Wait for Unsplash stock images to finish loading on image slides.
Confirm you are on Pro — export requires a Pro subscription.
Skim speaker notes if you added them inline as body text.

Export steps

Open your presentation in `/editor/[id]`.
Click Export (or use the export action in the editor chrome).
The server renders `.pptx` from your layout JSON via `pptxgenjs`.
Download the file — naming follows your deck title.
Open in Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, or upload to Google Slides.

2-minute QA in PowerPoint

Spot-check slide 1 and the metrics slide — most typos hide there.
Verify images loaded (not broken placeholders).
Run slideshow mode — font sizes readable from the back of the room?
If your company requires a template master, paste slides into the master deck.

FAQ

Why are my exported slides not editable?+

Some tools export images. MakeMyDeck exports structured slides. If text is not editable, confirm you exported from MakeMyDeck Pro, not a screenshot tool.

Can I export to Google Slides directly?+

Upload the .pptx to Google Drive and open with Google Slides. Layout may shift slightly — adjust in Slides if needed.

Is export included in credits?+

Export does not consume generation credits on Pro. Generation and AI editor actions use credits separately.
