Pitch presentations can be exported as a PDF file from the Share menu.

Export a presentation from the desktop or web app

  1. Click Share in the top right of the presentation

  2. Select Export from the sharing options.

  3. Choose your desired format from the list. You can choose between a Compressed PDF, or a High Quality PDF.

  4. If you're currently on our Free plan, you can export to PDF with the addition of a small Pitch watermark in bottom corner. We'll remind you of this before you export.

  5. When the file is ready, a pop-up will appear on the bottom of the screen letting you know that your PDF file is ready to use. On the desktop app, you'll also get the option to choose a destination for your file. On the web app, it'll go to your browser's default download destination.

💡You can also export the presentation from the quick menu. Press Command + K (or Control + K on Windows) and then search for Export. It will be in the listed options.

Export a PDF from our mobile apps

  1. Open a presentation

  2. Tap on the options in the top right corner to open the share menu

  3. Tap Export to PDF

Once the PDF is created you can share it via your favorite app.


Supported and unsupported elements


There are some elements that might not export the way you’d expect. Supported elements of your original presentation should export to a PPTX or PDF file seamlessly.

Unsupported elements might look a bit different or be absent, depending on whether or not import functionality for a specific type of block already exists in Pitch.

Supported elements in a PDF export

  • Slides

  • Images (JPG, PNG, SVGs).

  • Text (Bullet colors take the text color of the list item)

  • Shapes

  • Tables

  • Charts

  • Fonts

Unsupported elements in a PDF export

  • Uploaded videos

  • Embedded videos from Youtube, Vimeo, or Loom

  • GIFs

  • Recordings

  • Animations (enter/exit effects, transitions, continuity)

All videos, GIFs, and recordings will be displayed as thumbnails in the exported presentation. Additionally, it's not currently possible to include speaker notes or comments in an export.
