Export to PowerPoint, animated GIF, or another file format in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro
To save a copy of a Keynote presentation in another format, you export it in the new format. This is useful when you need to send the presentation to people who are using different software. Any changes made to the exported presentation don’t affect the original. Keynote also remembers the last export settings you used.
Note: If the original file has a password, it applies to copies exported in PDF and PowerPoint formats.
Save a copy of a Keynote presentation in another format
Open the presentation, tap
Tap Export and Send, then tap a format:
PDF: These files can be opened and sometimes edited with applications like Preview and Adobe Acrobat. Tap a layout at the top of the Export Options menu to choose what appears on each page of the PDF. Depending on the layout you choose, you can include comments or presenter notes, how many slides appear on each page, and more. To show each build on its own page, in the same order as builds appear in the presentation, turn on “Include Each Stage of Builds.”
Tap Image Quality, then choose an option (the higher the image quality, the larger the file size). If you added image, drawing, or video descriptions for assistive technology (for example, VoiceOver), they’re automatically exported. To include accessibility tags for large tables, tap Accessibility, then tap On.
PowerPoint: These files can be opened and edited by Microsoft PowerPoint in .pptx format.
Movie: Slides are exported in .mov format and include any audio in the presentation. Tap Resolution and choose an option. To export only part of the presentation, tap Slide Range and enter the beginning and ending slide numbers.
The movie advances to the next slide or build according to the time intervals you enter (for transitions and builds set to start On Tap). If you have an animation that’s set to advance following a previous build or transition, it’s not affected by the time interval you enter.
Images: Slides are exported as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF files. Tap Slide Range to choose the slides you want to export as images. Choose an image format (the higher quality the image, the larger the file size). To include each build animation as a single image, turn on Include Builds.
Keynote Theme: Your presentation is saved as a theme in the Theme Chooser.
You can also share your theme. To learn more, see Create and manage custom themes in Keynote on Apple Vision Pro.
Tap Export in the top-right corner, then tap one of the options for sending, saving, or posting the presentation.
Create a GIF
You can create an animated GIF from slides in your presentation, then share it in a message or email, or post it on a website.
Tap
Tap a resolution (Small, Medium, Large, or XL).
Tap Slide Range, use the number wheel to set the beginning and ending slide number, then tap
Tap Frame Rate, tap an option (the lower the number, the slower the animation), then tap
Pinch and drag the Auto-Advance slider to set how fast you want the animation to continue after a tap.
Tap Export, then tap Share.
If the slide backgrounds use No Fill or have transparency, you can choose an option to use transparent backgrounds for your animated GIF.
Post a presentation in a blog
You can post a presentation on Medium or WordPress so that readers can tap through the presentation (without its animations and interactive elements) using a player in the blog. Any changes you make to the presentation in Keynote are automatically reflected in the embedded version.
To post a presentation, you must be signed in with your Apple ID and Keynote must be set up to use iCloud Drive. See Use iCloud on Apple Vision Pro.
Tap
If the presentation isn’t stored in iCloud Drive, follow the prompt to move it there.
Choose these sharing options:
Who can access: Select “Anyone with the link.”
Permission: Select “View only” if you don’t want the people you’re sharing with to be able to change the presentation; otherwise, select “Can make changes.”
Note: Don’t add a password. (If you do, the link you embed won’t work.)
Tap
.Tap the Copy Link button in the sending options.
With your blog post open, tap to place the insertion point on a new line where you want the link to appear, tap Paste, then tap Return.
When you publish, the player appears in the post. Viewers can tap or click through your presentation in the blog, or use the Open in Keynote button to open a fully interactive version of the presentation.
