Keep your powerpoint fonts and layouts intact with zip uploads in NextSlide

Want to make sure your presentations looks exactly the same as the way you made them? Normally the NextSlide conversion process will handle things just fine, but sometimes fonts or other items may not render correctly. This process will work with both Powerpoint and Keynote.

Here’s how you can do it:

• Open your presentation
• Export your slides as PNG Images and put them in a folder
• Put your .ppt in the same folder as the images: If you are using keynote, export as .ppt and put the ppt in the same folder as the images
• Compress the folder as a .zip file
• Upload the .zip to NextSlide

NextSlide will process the zip file like any other presentation and it will show up in your dash in a few moments. Because you converted the presentation into images on your machine, all your fonts and layout will be perfectly preserved.

Open your presentation and export as images (PNG). The process is roughly the same in keynote or in powerpoint.

Make sure you use “Export” and not “Save As”

Make sure you turn off transparency and do not select “create an image for each stage of builds). You want the number of images you export to match the number of slides in your presentation.

When you export your images, they should all go into a single folder together. Put your .ppt or .pptx in the same folder as the images.

If you are in keynote, do another export, but this time instead of export as images, export as powerpoint, and place the .ppt pr .pptx in the same folder as the images

Once all your files are together in the same folder, compress them into a .zip file

Just upload the zip file like you would any other presentation and it will process and show up in your dashboard in a few moments!
