PPTX Export

Overview

Polotno supports exporting designs to PowerPoint (PPTX) format, allowing you to create presentation files from your designs. This feature is available through the @polotno/pptx-export package.

Installation

First, install the PPTX export package:

npm install @polotno/pptx-export

Basic Usage

Import the package and use the jsonToPPTX function to export your design:

import { jsonToPPTX } from '@polotno/pptx-export';

// Export the current design to PPTX
jsonToPPTX({
  json: store.toJSON(),
  output: 'my-design.pptx',
});

Dynamic Import

If you prefer to load the package dynamically (e.g., to reduce initial bundle size), you can use dynamic imports:

import('@polotno/pptx-export').then((module) => {
  module.jsonToPPTX({
    json: store.toJSON(),
    output: 'my-design.pptx',
  });
});

API Reference

jsonToPPTX(options)

Exports a Polotno design to PowerPoint format.

Parameters:

• json (required): The design JSON from store.toJSON()
• output (required): The output filename (e.g., 'presentation.pptx')

Example:

import { jsonToPPTX } from '@polotno/pptx-export';

const handleExport = () => {
  jsonToPPTX({
    json: store.toJSON(),
    output: 'my-presentation.pptx',
  });
};

Use Cases

• Convert designs into editable PowerPoint presentations
• Share designs with users who prefer working in PowerPoint
• Create templates that can be further edited in presentation software
• Export multi-page designs as presentation slides

Notes

• Each Polotno page becomes a slide in the PowerPoint presentation
• Text elements remain editable in PowerPoint
• Images are embedded in the presentation file
