Pitch now supports exporting to PowerPoint (PPTX) so you can share decks with anyone who requires that format. No need for third party converters!
You can export your existing presentation to a PPTX file from the Share menu.
Export a presentation
Click Share in the top right of the presentation
Select Export from the sharing options
Choose PowerPoint as your export format and then click Export presentation
If you're currently on our Starter plan, you can export to PowerPoint with the addition of a small Pitch watermark in bottom corner. We'll remind you of this before you export.
4. When the file is ready, a pop-up will appear on the bottom of the screen letting you know that your PowerPoint file is ready to use.
💡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.
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 file seamlessly.

Fonts will be included in the export. However, we cannot always embed the font into the PowerPoint file (in some cases it can fall back to Calibri). In order to display the correct font, it needs to be installed on your computer.
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.

Experiencing an error?
Rarely, you may see an error come up when you try to export a presentation. The error that you see may ask you to contact support, or the loading indicator might continue spinning without the document saving. These are a few of the first troubleshooting steps that you can follow to resolve this.
If you are working in a web browser, it is likely a browser extension that is blocking the export functions. Try opening Pitch in a different browser, or in incognito mode. If you are working in the desktop app, try opening the web app version of Pitch.
If you're still unable to export, don't hesitate to contact our support team. You can get in touch with us through the help bubble in the bottom right corner when using the Pitch web or desktop apps. Click on Contact us to reach out. Please note:
We’re usually available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. CET.
