How to Redesign Google Slides or Keynote Decks with AI

The AI presentation tools that can rebuild an existing deck almost all read one format: PowerPoint's .pptx. That is not a slight against Google Slides or Keynote; .pptx is simply the interchange format the whole industry agreed on, the way PDF is for documents. The good news is that both editors export to it in one step and the export is faithful for everything that matters to a redesign.

Google Slides to .pptx

File, Download, Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). Done. The export keeps text, bullets, tables, charts built in Slides (as real charts with their data), speaker notes, and images. Fonts that exist only in Google's library are substituted on machines without them, which does not matter here because the redesign replaces the typography anyway.

Two things to check after export:

• Linked charts from Google Sheets export as charts with their current values, which is what you want. If a chart shows stale numbers, refresh the link in Slides before exporting.
• Embedded videos do not travel. Note where they were.

Keynote to .pptx

File, Export To, PowerPoint. Keynote will warn that some features may change; for a redesign the warning is noise. Text, tables, and charts export as real objects. Keynote's builds and transitions do not, and that is fine, since the rebuilt deck brings its own.

One caution: Keynote decks built on custom themes sometimes have text inside grouped objects. It still exports, but check that your key numbers are text and not part of an image, because text inside an image is invisible to a rebuilder.

What the AI reads from the export

A rebuilder like PitchBoost works from the content it can extract: titles, body text, bullets, tables, the values behind charts, and SmartArt-style diagrams. Speaker notes, text inside images, and embedded objects from other apps are not read. If the export looks right in PowerPoint, it will read right; what the rebuild reads lists the details.

The redesign itself

Upload the .pptx, point the tool at your website so the brand comes from the source rather than a theme, and choose between a one-to-one rebuild (same slides, same order, new design) and a condensed one (a shorter deck with related slides merged). Every figure is carried over and checked against your file; anything that could not be sourced is flagged rather than invented. Two to five minutes later the deck is back.

If you want to see the treatment on your own slides first, the free redesign preview takes the exported .pptx and returns your title slide and busiest content slide rebuilt, with no account.

Getting it back into Google Slides or Keynote

Download the rebuilt deck as .pptx, then:

• Google Slides: File, Import slides, or open the .pptx from Drive and choose Open with Google Slides. Text boxes stay editable on PitchBoost's paid plans; charts and visuals come across as images.
• Keynote: File, Open, choose the .pptx. Keynote converts it into a native document.

Or skip the round trip: share the PitchBoost link, which is the deck as a web page with viewer analytics, and export a PDF for attachments. Many people find the link replaces the editor for decks that are sent rather than presented.

The full picture

Google Slides and Keynote users are not second-class here; the export is the whole extra step. The Google Slides and Keynote redesign page covers what changes and what stays for each editor, and the help article has the click paths for both.
