Importing PowerPoint Projects into Visme

If you’ve got an existing PowerPoint presentation and want to take it further with Visme’s design and interactivity tools, you can easily import your .pptx file directly into Visme. This lets you use your original content as a jumping off point in Visme. Once you have added it into our platform, you can start upgrading visuals, adding animations, embedding media, and more — all within Visme’s editor on your imported project. Here’s how to get started with importing your PowerPoint file into your Visme dashboard.

Key Benefits of Importing Your PowerPoint into Visme:

– Add some sizzle: As an HTML-based platform, Visme supports dynamic presentation functions. Unique and impressive animations, seamless multimedia support (i.e. supporting videos and audio in your slides), embedding online media, interactive capabilities like pop-ups and hover effects, and much more!

– Easy sharing: Instantly share your presentation with anyone via a simple link.

– Multiple distribution options: Post it on social media, or publish it as a live URL so you can present it online or email it to your audience with Visme’s dynamic capabilities.

– Privacy controls: Choose to keep your presentation public, private, or password-protected.

– Smarter analytics: Track how your presentation is performing with detailed analytics showing who’s viewing it, from where, and for how long.

 

1
Once you’re logged into your Visme account, click the Create button from your dashboard.

2
Then, select the PowerPoint option under the Import section in the dropdown menu. A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to choose and upload your PowerPoint file from your computer.

3
Click Browse File and select your .pptx file. Make sure the file is in .pptx format, as .ppt is an outdated version of PowerPoint and is not supported. If needed, open the file in PowerPoint and use Save As to convert it to .pptx.

4
After selecting your file, wait for the loading screen to confirm that the upload was successful.

 

Understanding PPTx Imports with Visme: 

Visme and PowerPoint work differently behind the scenes with the code between our systems and files, so when you import a PowerPoint (.PPTX) file into Visme, some formatting may not carry over exactly.

For example:

– Text formatting may need adjustments after import.
– Animations from PowerPoint won’t transfer, as Visme uses a different animation system.
– Tables in Visme are quite different from Powerpoint’s, and users have found they prefer redesigning their tables in Visme, and copying the table information into the Visme generated table when it’s ready.

If you notice any formatting differences, Visme offers tools to help you quickly polish your presentation. For example: You can select multiple text boxes at the same time to reformat them at once. You can also update the font used in text boxes throughout the entire presentation within the text box menu in the left sidebar.

Need Help with PowerPoint Imports? 

If you notice significant discrepancies after uploading your PPTX file to Visme, please share the file with our Support Team for further testing. We appreciate the opportunity to review and refine our import process, helping us improve compatibility and support the full creative potential of your presentations.

Note: Your project will start its import process into Visme. Note: Depending on your PowerPoint presentation size, the process can take seconds to as long as a few minutes.
Note: Once the import process has been completed,  you will have your PowerPoint online and can then open it in Visme editor and begin editing and publishing it. You can also go to the Publish settings to set the privacy and access permissions.
