đź’ˇNote
- Powerpoint download is only available with the Presentation format.
- Powerpoint export feature is only available on the Business plan.
How to download your presentation in Powerpoint 1. First, select one of our Presentation templates.
2. Once you finished your work, head to Download in the upper right corner.
3. Choose the PowerPoint format.

⚠️ Limitations When Exporting to PowerPoint
- Grouping: Elements grouped in Piktochart will not remain grouped in the exported PowerPoint file.
- Charts and Maps: These will be exported as static images, not editable objects.
- SVG Files: Complex SVGs may be converted to PNGs instead of remaining editable SVGs.
- Fonts: There may be some discrepancies. Click here to learn more.
- Bullet Lists: Bullet alignment or positioning may be slightly misaligned in the export.
Some things to keep in mind:
- The download time can be affected by the complexity of the visual - for example, if it contains charts, maps or SVG files (high complexity content like multi-colored icons).
- Your work will be automatically saved before downloading it. But if you change anything after, it won't be reflected on your downloaded PPT.
- If the connection is lost in the process of downloading, you will get an error message, and you will need to check your internet connection and start the download process again.
Common Questions
What if my PPT file is too big? Can I compress the file size?
Yes, you can! If you need assistance compressing your document, you can check out this helpful guide by HighSpark.
How can I export my Presentation to Google Slides?
Since Google Slides can open, read, and edit PPT files, you can download the PPT file from Piktochart and import the PPT file directly on Google Drive.
Why is there a discrepancy with font sizes between Piktochart and Powerpoint?
We've had a few users report discrepancies between font sizes/formatting between the Piktochart editor and the Powerpoint software when importing a Piktochart visual. This is due to the difference in the units of measurement between the two programs. In Powerpoint, the font size is in the PT unit, but the font size is in PX in our application.
Why am I unable to download to PowerPoint?
PowerPoint download is only available when using the Presentation format. This option isn’t supported in other formats due to differences in layout dimensions.
If you'd like to proceed, we recommend creating a new visual using the Presentation format and copying the elements over from your original visual. This ensures the layout and sizing work well in PowerPoint. Here's a guide on how to copy objects or groups of objects: Copying Block/Slide Guide.
