Open the deck's share screen and use the download buttons: "Download PowerPoint" gives you an editable .pptx with real text boxes and shapes, "PowerPoint" gives you an exact-look .pptx where each slide is an image of the web deck, and "PDF" gives you one page per slide. Downloads are available on every plan; on the free plan they carry a small PitchBoost badge.
Steps
- Open the deck. From your dashboard, open the deal and click the deck. The share screen shows the preview with the download and publish controls beside it.
- Pick the file you need. Editable PowerPoint for anything you will keep working on. Exact-look PowerPoint when the deck must look identical to the web version on someone else's machine. PDF for email attachments and printing.
- Wait for the file. The button shows "Preparing" while the file renders, usually a few seconds. The download starts automatically.
Editable versus exact-look
The editable PowerPoint is close to the web layout but not pixel-identical: it uses PowerPoint's own text boxes, shapes and fonts so you can edit every element. The exact-look file is pixel-identical because each slide is a high-resolution image, which also means the text cannot be edited in PowerPoint. When in doubt, take both; they are free to generate.
The badge
On the free plan, every slide carries a small "Powered by PitchBoost" badge, and it rides along in PDF and PowerPoint downloads. Starter ($9 a month) removes it from every deck and export, and you can also remove it from a single deck with a one-time purchase from the share screen.
Questions
Can I download without publishing?
Yes. Downloads work on a private draft. Publishing only matters for the web link.
Are the fonts embedded in the editable PowerPoint?
The file names your brand fonts; if a machine does not have them installed, PowerPoint substitutes a similar font. The exact-look file has no such issue because the slides are images.
Is there a Google Slides export?
Download the editable PowerPoint and import it into Google Slides through File > Import slides. Everything stays editable.
