What to Know Before Converting Canva to PowerPoint
Before diving into the steps, it’s important to understand what happens when you convert Canva to PowerPoint.
Can you export Canva to PowerPoint without issues?
Yes, you can export Canva to PowerPoint.But as we tested Canva before, there are some limitations to keep in mind:
- Fonts may change if they’re not available in PowerPoint
- Animations and transitions may not transfer perfectly
- Layered elements can become grouped or flattened
To get better results, consider these tips before exporting:
- Use standard fonts whenever possible
- Keep layouts clean and avoid excessive layering
- Preview your design carefully before downloading
