igma is a powerful design tool widely used for UI/UX, prototyping, and collaborative workflows. But when it comes to presenting your designs in formats like Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), the question often arises: Can you export Figma designs to PPT? The short answer is: not directly—but there are effective workarounds. This article shows you how to turn your Figma work into a PowerPoint-ready presentation with minimal effort.
Why Export to PowerPoint?
While Figma has its own Presentation Mode, sometimes you need to deliver your designs in a PPT format for meetings, stakeholder reviews, or offline use. PowerPoint remains a go-to format in corporate environments, and being able to convert your design work into slides can be critical for communication and pitching.
Method 1: Exporting Figma Frames as Images
This is the most common method and works for most use cases.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Select the frame or component you want to export.
- In the right-hand sidebar, scroll down to the Export section.
- Choose the format—typically PNG or JPG for PowerPoint.
- Click the “+” icon to set export options like size (1x, 2x, etc.).
- Click Export.
- Open PowerPoint and insert the image into your slides (Insert → Picture).
This method works great for polished screens or design overviews.
Method 2: Exporting as PDF and Inserting into PowerPoint
If your Figma file includes multiple frames that should function like slides, this is a more efficient way.
How to do it:
- Select all the frames you want to export.
- Go to File → Export → PDF.
- Choose whether to export selected frames or all pages.
- Open PowerPoint.
- Drag and drop the PDF pages into your slide deck (or convert PDF pages to images using free tools, if needed).
This approach is ideal for presenting multiple screens as separate slides.
Method 3: Use Figma Plugins
There are third-party plugins like Pitchdeck Presentation Studio that allow you to export Figma designs directly to presentation formats, including PowerPoint. Some even support animations and text layers.
Example Plugin:
- Pitchdeck: lets you export slides from Figma and download them as PowerPoint files.
⚠️ Keep in mind: Most of these plugins have limitations or require a paid plan.
Pro Tip: Design With Presentations in Mind
When planning to export to PPT:
- Use a consistent frame size (e.g., 1920×1080) to match slide dimensions.
- Keep visual hierarchy clear with headings, body text, and callouts.
- Use Figma’s grid systems to align elements neatly.
When Not to Use PowerPoint
If you’re presenting designs to other designers or developers, staying in Figma and using Presentation Mode might be more efficient. It allows real-time comments, clickable prototypes, and no export hassle.
Conclusion
While Figma doesn’t export to PowerPoint natively, exporting as images or PDFs—or using plugins—makes the transition smooth. Whether you’re preparing for a stakeholder meeting or sharing design updates with non-designers, these methods will help you deliver clean, professional results in PPT format.
