Exporting a deck to PDF, PowerPoint, or Google Slides

Decks can export to three formats — pick whichever your audience expects.

To export:
1. Open the deck and click Export in the top toolbar
2. Pick PDF, PowerPoint (.pptx), or Google Slides
3. The export runs server-side and (depending on size) takes a few seconds to a few minutes — you'll see a progress bar
4. Done: the file downloads, or for Google Slides, a link to the new Slides doc opens in a new tab

How each format renders:

PDF
• Each slide rasterizes to a high-resolution PNG and embeds in the PDF
• Animations are flattened — only the final state of each slide is exported (post-animation)
• Speaker notes are appended at the end of the file as a "Notes" section if you tick the Include speaker notes checkbox

PowerPoint (.pptx)
• Slides without animations export as native shape/text PowerPoint slides — your colleague can edit them in PowerPoint
• Slides with animations export as rasterized PNGs (PowerPoint doesn't have a 1:1 mapping for Fabric animations) — they preserve visual fidelity but become uneditable
• Transitions map to the closest PowerPoint equivalent (Fade → Fade, Slide Left → Push From Right, etc.)

Google Slides
• Uses your personal Google Drive — if you haven't connected Drive yet, a Google sign-in popup appears the first time you export. Closing or cancelling the popup is a no-op (no scary red banner)
• If you previously connected Gmail, Drive is already authorized and the export just works — no second OAuth
• Creates a new Slides doc in your Drive root and opens it in a new tab
• Same animations-vs-static behavior as PPTX — animated slides become rasterized images

Tip: if you'll need to edit later in another tool, avoid heavy element animations — keep motion at the slide-transition level, and the export stays editable.

Troubleshooting:
• "Google Drive not connected" — happens when you've never granted Drive permission. Click Export → Google Slides again to retrigger the popup
• Popup blocked — most browsers block popups that weren't initiated by a click. Allow popups for turtini.com and try again
• Other error — the original Google error message is preserved verbatim so you can search for it
