**What this video covers**

This tutorial shows how to use the Pitchdeck Figma plugin to export a Figma presentation to PowerPoint with master slide layouts created from Figma components. It also shows how locking a layer in Figma makes that element export as a static image instead of an editable placeholder.

**Things you'll need**

- A Figma file with the slides, frames, components, or instances you want to export
- The Pitchdeck Figma plugin installed or saved in Figma plugins

**Steps**

1. Open the Figma Resources panel, search for Pitchdeck under Plugins, and run or save the plugin.
2. Right-click the slide frames you want to use, choose Create component, and refresh the slides in Pitchdeck so the components appear in the deck.
3. Open the export panel, select PowerPoint, and enable Create PowerPoint master slides from components in the PowerPoint settings.
4. Click Export for PowerPoint, then download the .pptx file and open it in PowerPoint.
5. Use Insert new slide in PowerPoint to add the master slides created from the Figma components.
6. If you want an image or logo to stay static, lock that layer in Figma before exporting again.
7. Re-export the deck and confirm the locked layer appears as a static image while text remains as placeholders.
