This is a dealbreaker. Pitch needs to have PowerPoint export support.

It is a very important feauture as we love to work in Pitch, but clients often ask for a copy in PPT and then we need to create the PPT from zero which is annoying and takes lots of time (pdf->ppt way works pretty bad). Would be great to have such a function and never work in PPT again!😃

I remember years ago being very excited about Prezi. But the downfall of Prezi is the exact same situation here: You often have to share your deck either with clients or internal execs who are going to want to make edits. Even their secretary has to be able to open it.

Clients, C-Levels / VP’s, and Secretaries / Assistants are all 1) not going to have the time to learn new software (learning curve delemma)…2) the editable version must be sharable/openable. 3) Most mentioned above won’t even have the Prezi software.

In the case of Prezi, everyone loved the presentation — but no one could share the editable version in an easy way with clients / execs / secretaries. This incompatibility (and yes they offered PDFs) was Prezi’s downfall…even though they had a superior product to PowerPoint.

Figma allows competitor Sketch files to be imported and is rapidly becoming the dominant UX tool in the world. Adobe XD won’t import Figma, and therefore I can rarely use it…and most large corp UX teams are going with Figma now. Don’t be afraid of playing nice with competitor products, the flexibility for your customers ultimately will win you far more business.

You have a great product here, it would be a shame to see Pitch get stuck in low gear and never really take off because of this 1 critical issue.

Another recent example, we have a Pitch advocate join our team. They persuade us to try it out and spent a lot of time building something for a major corporate client. Client likes it and asks for a copy they want to update and present upwards. They only use PPTX and don't want to have to put a new cloud tool through a security review. We now can't give the output of our work to them except in PDF. Other members of our team then have to spend a lot of effort rebuilding the deck to look the same in PowerPoint as it does in Pitch. By doing that proving that the copy of PowerPoint we already have does everything that advocate did in Pitch. Client has to delay presenting results upwards. Advocate who recommended Pitch is embarrassed. Pitch gets a bad name in both our company and our clients.

I strongly recommend making it easy to export to PPTX in your tool if you want to get corporate adoption.

We also need this for the reasons outlined above:

• Providing our work in a format that can be easily used by those with accessibility needs

• Sharing deliverables with our clients in a format they can use and modify

• Submitting talks to conferences

The scope of what we can safely use Pitch for is so incredibly narrow that we can’t practically adopt it at this time, despite our love for the product.

For anyone that needs a work around you can export from Pitch to PDF and then run the PDF through this tool to get it into PPT format:

It's a bit awkward and not 100% perfect. For example the font and letter spacing can get easily messed up during the conversion process and this has to be fixed manually.

Any updates on this front? It's a serious selling feature to all my clients.

Export your Pitch presentation as PowerPoint file that needed

Just start using Pitch for more than a week. I love the fact that I can design on Pitch at ease with a bit of learning curve. However, where is the 'Export to PPT'? I need to send a copy as PPT to my professor. I'm desperate to look to one and this thread shows up. Nice experience with Pitch but this issue is such a monkey on my back!

Disappointed. I was so happy to use Pitch till the moment I tried to download my presentation. Well I dare say that if you think that you are going to replace and overcome PowerPoint with this kind of tricks you are really naive. The commercial value of a program with such characteristics is zero.
