After your presentation, you can export still images of all your slides, complete with the responses they received from your audience. You can export these images as either a PDF or as JPGs. There is no PowerPoint (.pptx) export. Looking to export the response data instead — a spreadsheet of which answers each participant selected or submitted? See Export data to Excel. Like PDF and JPG export, Export data to Excel isn’t available on every plan; if yours doesn’t include it, you’ll be prompted to upgrade.
The Export to PDF/JPG feature is only available to paid plan users.
When you export a PDF, you can choose whether to include your private speaker notes. If your slides contain speaker notes, the download dialog shows an Include speaker notes checkbox, ticked by default — leave it ticked to add your notes to the PDF as annotations, or untick it to export your slide content and audience responses only. This option applies to PDF exports only; a JPG (image) export never includes speaker notes. A PDF export produces a single document with one page per slide. A JPG export produces a downloadable ZIP folder containing one JPG image for each of your slides.

How to export your slide images

Exporting slides to PDF or JPG needs a paid plan. On the Free plan, choosing PDF or JPEG opens an upgrade prompt instead of starting the download. There are three places you can export your slides from: 1. From the Share menu. Click the Share icon at the top right of the presentation editor, near Preview, or right-click the presentation on the My Presentations page and choose Share. In the Share menu, open Download, then choose PDF document (.pdf) or JPEG image (.jpg).

2. From the menu next to the presentation name. Click the menu icon (three horizontal lines) next to the presentation’s name in the editor, open Download, then choose PDF document (.pdf) or JPEG image (.jpg). 3. From the Results panel or the Presentation Report. Click Results in the presentation editor’s top bar and, under Export in the Results panel, choose PDF or Images. Or click the Report button for the presentation on the My Presentations page to open the Presentation Report, then click Export and select PDF or Images.

You will then be able to choose which version to download:
  • Previous version — your last generated version.
  • Download latest version — a freshly generated version.
Your download will begin automatically once the file is ready.

Can I export to PowerPoint?

AhaSlides does not currently offer a direct export to PowerPoint (PPT or PPTX). The slide export produces a PDF or a ZIP of JPG images only, as described above. If you need your slides elsewhere, you have two options:
  • A visual copy of your slides — export to PDF or Images above, then insert those files into your PowerPoint deck. They’re pictures of your slides, so their text can’t be edited in PowerPoint.
  • Your response data — export the results as a spreadsheet instead. See Export data to Excel.
Going the other way — bringing an existing PowerPoint deck into AhaSlides — is supported. Each imported slide arrives as a static image on a Content slide, or, with Import as editable slides where it’s available, as editable slides. Either way it does not become interactive. Add AhaSlides interactive slides between the imported ones instead. See Importing a PowerPoint presentation or PDF file. Have a question?
