Use these formats to hand a deck to an AI agent, reuse its copy, present offline or print handouts. They require an active trial or Pitchdeck Pro.

The export panel shows a short format summary. Expand Export details for instructions and limitations. The export button stays at the bottom while you scroll through settings.

Export a portable deck

1. Load the slides you want to export in Pitchdeck.
2. Open Export and choose AI Agent Handoff, Markdown & Images, Local HTML Presentation or Printable Handouts.
3. Optionally enable Include Speaker Notes. This includes notes saved in Pitchdeck; it does not read native Figma Slides presenter notes.
4. Export, download the ZIP and extract it before opening its files.

AI handoffs, Markdown and handouts include numbered slide PNGs, deck.md, deck.json and README.md. Images are exported at 1x resolution. Hidden layers are omitted. Visible text that is clipped by a parent can remain in the extracted text, so review the files before sharing them.

AI agent handoff

The AI handoff ZIP also includes index.json, an individual JSON file for each slide, and TASKS.md with suggested review, rewrite, translation and reconstruction tasks. The index lets an agent load only the slides it needs. Layer IDs map proposed copy changes back to their source Figma layers.

Give your agent the ZIP and a specific task, for example:

Read README.md and index.json. Review this deck for clarity and repetition. Compare the slide images with the extracted text and reference slide numbers and layer IDs in your suggestions.

Pitchdeck saves the ZIP locally and does not send it to an AI service. Speaker notes are excluded unless you enable them. The included agent guidance treats slide content as document data, not instructions to execute or publish.

The JSON contains reference geometry, text runs and available paint/effect data. It is not a lossless Figma reconstruction format. The PNGs are the visual reference. The AI handoff also includes original image files in assets/images/ and supported vector artwork in assets/vectors/. Layer and paint asset paths link to these files, alongside the image crop and transform data. Original images can contain pixels outside the visible crop. Repeated image fills share one file. Per-slide warnings identify vector artwork that could not be exported separately. Layer order follows the source tree rather than an inferred reading order.

Markdown and images

Open deck.md in a Markdown editor. It contains slide names, text and optional notes, with relative links to the numbered PNGs. Keep the slides folder alongside the Markdown file when moving or sharing it. Source text is preserved in literal blocks so embedded markup does not become active document content.

Local HTML presentation

Open the extracted index.html in a browser. The ZIP includes the player, slide artwork, GIFs, built-in animations, custom keyframes, multiple effects, click builds and per-slide transitions. Use Previous, Next, arrow keys or slide links to navigate. Next advances the next click build before moving to the next slide. Use Play/Pause, Replay and the time slider to inspect playback; Full screen starts full-screen viewing.

The presenter console shows current and next slides, optional notes and elapsed time. Rehearse records slide durations and lets you download the timing results. Audience window opens a separate synchronized window with the slide and without the private console. Allow the popup if your browser blocks it. If local-file synchronization is unavailable, use a local web server or host the folder; the player shows a connection message rather than silently playing an independent deck. Closing the presenter stops its audience connection.

Include Speaker Notes stores notes in the exported files. Hiding them in the audience window does not make those files private. Leave this option off when distributing a deck whose notes should not be shared.

Web embeds and externally linked video, audio and Lottie content require internet. Providers may block embedding from local files; use a hosted presentation when a provider requires a hosted origin. Sound playback may require a click because of browser autoplay rules. Lottie expressions are not supported in the local player.

Keep the whole extracted folder together. Remote controls, shared pointers, analytics and account services are not included.

Host the HTML deck on your own account

Choose Local HTML Presentation (Zip file) under Self-Hosted HTML, then extract the archive and upload its contents using your hosting provider's static-site deployment tools. Keep index.html at the published root and preserve the asset folders.

Use a separate site or project for each presentation. The deck does not include Pitchdeck's hosted password protection, analytics, remote controls or pointers. Your provider's access controls and hosting limits apply. Linked media still requires internet and depends on its provider's embedding rules. Include speaker notes only if you want visitors to read them.

Printable handouts

Open the extracted index.html, then choose Print / Save as PDF. Select your paper size and printer or PDF destination in the browser's print dialog. Each slide includes space for written notes. Long speaker notes may continue onto another page.

Limits

AI handoffs, Markdown and handouts contain still images. Local HTML presentations preserve layer animations, links and supported media embeds. An export is limited to 250 MB of artwork; split larger decks into smaller exports.

For a video file, use MP4 Slideshow. For editable slides, use PowerPoint.

Motion and narration

Local HTML includes Morph transitions, property tracks and attached narration. Keep narration assets with the exported folder. Browser sound playback may need a click. Use show timings enables saved automatic advancement in Presenter view.

MP4 renders supported 2D motion and transitions, advances click builds automatically and mixes attached narration. Loops play for the slide's finite recording duration. External embeds and GIFs use poster artwork; interactive links are absent. Perspective motion is rejected rather than flattened inaccurately. Use browser output for that effect. Video is capped at 30 minutes, 1920 × 1080 and 250 MB; intermediate frames are processed in bounded batches.

Attached narration plays from the presenter window. The synchronized audience popup stays silent to avoid playing the same audio twice. Keep the presenter window open during delivery.
