you may type PowerPoint in the search bar at the top to quickly find it.

This method of exporting your Canva presentation into a PPT file has a few limitations. The fonts you used may change if you don’t already have them on your computer.
In addition, if you’ve applied standard animations orused Canva’s animation tool to create custom animationsfor certain elements, these elements will be removed in the PPT document. In the next few sections, we’ll walk through how to work around these limitations.
How to Convert Canva Slides to PowerPoint (Without Changing Fonts)
Depending on the fonts you use, your Canva slide deck won’t look the same in PowerPoint if you don’t have those exact fonts saved on your computer. PowerPoint will automatically replace those custom fonts with default fonts.
If you want to still stick with the custom fonts, one way to go about it is to explore the font library in PowerPoint to see if you would find similar-looking fonts.
Another way to go about this is to first find out the name of the font in Canva or use any of thefive best sites for identifying fonts online. From here, you can download the fonts to your computer from any ofthe best free font websites. The process of adding your new fonts to PowerPoint is similar to that ofadding new fonts to Microsoft Word.
How to Convert Canva Slides to PowerPoint (With Animations)
If you don’t want to lose all the cool animation you’ve added to your Canva presentation, you’ll have to export them as a GIF. Here’s how.
Click theSharebutton and selectDownloadfrom the drop-down menu.
EnsureGIFis selected under File type. With this method, you’ll have to select one page at a time (under Select pages) to export as a GIF. When you’re done, clickDownload.
In the file explorer window that appears, choose a file location, give it a suitable name, and clickSave. Your Canva slide will now be downloaded to your computer as a GIF file.
You have to repeat the same process for each page in your Canva slide deck. If your slides aren’t many, this shouldn’t be much of a problem. However, if you’re working with a bunch of slides, this can be a bit tedious.
If you want to maintain the animated elements without the animations, you can go through a similar process but this time around, save your entire slide deck as a PNG file.
This will export each slide as a PNG file and place it in a zipped folder. From here you can extract the files, then drag and drop them into PowerPoint. Compared to exporting each slide as a GIF, this method will save you lots of time.
While the method of exporting your Canva slide deck into a .PPTX file removes animated elements, this method doesn’t let you modify slide elements in PowerPoint since they’re in GIF or PNG format. Keep these limitations in mind as you decide which method you want to use.
