Video Tutorial: Import Google Slides to Figma in one click

This video walks through how to import slides from Google Slides (downloaded as .pptx files) into Figma using the Pitchdeck plugin.

The PPTX Import feature is in BETA. Note that this feature is still in BETA, so it works best for presentations that contain simpler designs (for example, mostly consisting of text, images and shapes). See below for a list of supported and unsupported content.

To import a PPTX file that you've exported from the PowerPoint app, Kenote app, or Google Slides, you can drag and drop (or click and browse) a .pptx file from your computer into the Import .pptx dropzone area underneath the slide list in the Pitchdeck plugin; then please wait for the editable slides to be imported into a new page in your current Figma file.

If your .pptx file won't open in the plugin. If you've dropped in a .pptx file and the plugin says it can't read it, please try opening the file in your PowerPoint desktop app again, then re-saving the presentation as a brand new .pptx file and then try using this new .pptx file to drag into the Pitchdeck plugin.
