What this video covers

The video shows how to use the Pitchdeck Figma plugin to import slides from a PPTX PowerPoint file into a Figma file in one click. It also explains what content imports well, how speaker notes are carried over, and how to fix files that fail to open by resaving them from Microsoft PowerPoint.

Things you'll need

• Figma
• Pitchdeck
• Microsoft PowerPoint

Steps

1. Open a Figma file, find Pitchdeck from Resources or Saved plugins, and run the plugin.
2. In the Pitchdeck plugin, use the Import PPTX drop zone or drag and drop a PPTX file into it.
3. Wait for the import to finish; Pitchdeck creates a new page in Figma and loads the slides as editable content.
4. Check the imported slides, text, images, shapes, tables, and speaker notes, and edit them directly in Figma as needed.
5. If a PPTX file will not open, open it in Microsoft PowerPoint, use File > Save As, and save a new PPTX version before trying again in Pitchdeck.
6. Review fonts and simple layouts, since some complex elements such as charts, SmartArt, headers and footers, embedded videos, and animations are not supported.
