Presentations with lots of slides or very media-heavy presentations with lots videos and images might take a few minutes to export.

Can I export to PowerPoint on mobile?

It is not possible to export to PowerPoint our mobile app.

Is it possible to use this feature in offline mode?

Exporting while offline is not possible. If you need the PPTX file and you know you will be without internet, we recommend exporting ahead of time or presenting directly from Pitch in offline mode.
