How to convert Apple Keynote to PowerPoint

If you need to share or collaborate with PowerPoint users, converting your Keynote file to PPTX ensures compatibility. In this guide, we’ll explore three simple methods to convert Keynote to PowerPoint while maintaining formatting and functionality.

Why convert Apple Keynote file to PPTX

Apple Keynote is a great tool for creating visually appealing presentations on macOS and iOS, but Microsoft PowerPoint (PPTX) remains the most widely used format for business, education, and professional collaboration. If you need to share your presentation with colleagues, work on it across different platforms, or ensure compatibility with corporate environments, converting your Keynote file to PPTX is essential.

Additionally, many presentation tools offer better support for PPTX files, making it easier to edit, present, and collaborate without compatibility issues.

2. Click on File in the top menu.

4. Adjust any settings if necessary, then click Next.
