Powerpoint export
Natalia Witwicka
Right now the Powerpoint export function is useless, pretty much everything has to be adjusted. If a client wants to save the Pitch with motion, the designer needs to spend lots of time cleaning up the PPT. Here are some issues we have encountered:
- most animations don't export to PPT, they disappear and need to be replaced (can't be copied from Pitch to PPT directly either), the very small ones sometimes stay animated
- text formatting changes (different type size, leading, weight), so all edits on widows & orphans disappear, need to be done again
- some text randomly becomes bold / different colour / different size, even within the same text window
- images don't stay cropped, sometimes slightly change position and move to top / bottom
Suggestions for fixing:
- improving the export to PPT itself
- introducing alternative export option which supports motion, like Figma or Keynote

I second this. I constantly spend so much time re-adjusting Powerpoints for my team after importing from Pitch.
I also experience the text formatting changes (seemingly random, fonts change from original Pitch design and can become larger or smaller, line heights change, font weights change)
Images don't remain cropped, sometimes they won't appear at all and I'll have to re-import them into PPT. Other times icons I use in Pitch will export as boxes with question marks in them and I'll have to go manually find the icon on an icon website to use it.
