How to download your Powtoon as a PowerPoint file

You can download any Powtoon as a PowerPoint (PPT) file directly from Powtoon Studio or from the preview player. Each slide in your Powtoon is converted into a corresponding slide in the PowerPoint file.

Note: Each PowerPoint slide is a snapshot taken 0.5 seconds before the end of the corresponding Powtoon slide. Any objects that appear after that point will not be included in the downloaded file.
