What this video covers

This tutorial shows how to use the Pitchdeck Figma plugin to import Google Slides into Figma by exporting a Google Slides deck as a .pptx file and dropping it into the plugin. It also shows that the imported content comes in as editable Figma layers and can be exported back out as PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.

Things you'll need

• A Figma file
• The Pitchdeck Figma plugin
• A Google Slides deck that can be downloaded as a .pptx file

Steps

1. In Figma, open the Resources icon, search for Pitchdeck, and save or run the plugin from the Plugins tab.
2. From the canvas, right-click, go to Plugins > Saved plugins, and launch Pitchdeck.
3. In Google Slides, open the File tab, go to Download, and choose Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) to save the deck as a .pptx file.
4. In Pitchdeck, drag and drop the .pptx file into the Import .pptx dropzone or use the Import .pptx button.
5. Wait for the import to finish; the slides are added to a new page in the Figma file as editable layers.
6. Edit the imported text and image layers in Figma as needed, and repeat the process for additional decks.
7. Use the Export button if you want to re-export the Figma file as PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.
