If you are a Google Slides user, you probably already know that Google Slides works on cloud storage. Meaning that your presentation files are stored online and can be accessed using just a browser. You no longer need to carry the physical file on a thumb drive. But, what if you intentionally need to save a Google Slides presentation? In that case, how do you download a Google Slides presentation?

To download a Google Slides presentation, simply open the presentation file in your browser. Then, click on the “File” menu and select the “Download” option. Choose the format (such as .pptx, .pdf, etc) in which you need to download the file, and save the presentation on your computer.

Can You Download Google Slides Files?

While you might be able to share and collaborate with other people in the Google Slides application, the question of can you download Google Slides files is bound to come up when you need to share a slideshow with someone that isn’t able to use the app in the browser or on their phone.

The steps in this article are going to show you how to download a copy of a Google Slides file in one of several file types of which the application is able to convert.

We cover these steps briefly at the start of the article, then continue with more information and pictures of the steps.

Google Slides is great when you need to create a presentation, and either don’t have access to Microsoft Powerpoint or prefer not to use it.

It also has many of the same options as Powerpoint, such as the ability to change orientation, as you can with this guide from masteryourtech.com .

Google Slides also has the benefit of being easily accessible from any Internet-connected computer or phone, making editing as convenient as possible.

But you may eventually need a copy of your slideshow in a format that is compatible with another program, like Microsoft Powerpoint. Or maybe you need a PDF that you can share with someone that doesn’t have Powerpoint or Google Slides.

Luckily there’s a way for you to easily download a Google Slides file in one of several different types of files.

How to Download a Google Slides File

• Sign into Google Drive and open the file you wish to download.
• Select the  File  tab at the top-left of the window.
• Choose the  Download  option, then the type of file you wish to download.

Our tutorial continues below with more information on the Google Slides download feature.

Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left of the window.

Our tutorial continues below with additional discussion about ways to download files from Google Slides.

More Information on Downloading Google Slides Presentations

Hopefully this guide has helped to answer the question of can you download Google Slides. The application provides a handful of different file options that you can use when you need to convert it to something else or put it in a format that is usable in other documents.

We have mentioned earlier that you can download Powerpoint files (in the pptx file format) of your Google Slides presentation, as well as a PDF, but there are some other file type options, too. All of these options are:

• Microsoft Powerpoint
• ODP Document
• PDF document
• Scalable vector graphics

Note that if you want to work on the Google Slides file in the Google Slides app when you don’t have an Internet connection, there is a way to do so. You are going to need to have the Google Chrome browser and be signed into your account. You are also going to need to install Chrome and sign into the Google Account containing the documents to edit.

You are also going to need to install the Google Docs Offline add-on. You can  get that here .

Finally, you can  go to your Google Drive settings here , then check the box next to  Sync Google Docs, Sheets, Slides & Drawings files to this computer so that you can edit offline .

You will now have the option to right-click one of your files in Google Drive and select the  Available offline  option to allow for the document to be edited offline.

The other Google Drive apps, including Google Docs and Google Sheets, give you the ability to download Microsoft Office (such as Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel) versions of your files as well. The steps are the same in those applications, although the available download options are going to differ.

Note that these steps are the same regardless of whether you are using a free Google account or a paid Google Workspace account.

The mobile versions of Google Apps also include the ability to create a Powerpoint file copy of your Slides presentation, as well as additional Google Slides features that can make the mobile iOS or Android version of the app a good solution if you aren’t able to do the work on a desktop or laptop computer.

If you open the Slides app on your mobile device you can just select the file that you wish to convert, tap the three dots at the top-right corner of the screen, then choose the Share 7 export option.

You will then see save a Powerpoint version to the Downloads folder on your device, or you can click the send a copy option and select to send someone a PDF file version of the same presentation as well.

Download Google Slide presentation (published to the web) [closed]

I would like to download this link as PDF:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRouwj_3cYsmLrNNI3Uq5gv5-hYp_QFdeoan2GlxKgIZRSejozruAbVV0IMXBoPsINB7Jw92vJo2EAM/pub?slide=id.p

Unfortunately, this URL uses non standard format that I recognise and can manipulate.

Modifying it to something like

doesn't work.

The Google Drive file ID should be 44 alphanumeric characters, but clearly this is 86 characters long.

• @loxxy that helped, thank you! I used the second bookmarklet only. It expanded the presentation to have all slides on one long page which I then " printed " into a PDF. The first bookmarklet didn't work, throwing an error - but I didn't need it anyway, apparently –  ᴍᴇʜᴏᴠ Commented Jan 31, 2023 at 14:26

From this tutorial to generate a link to download a google slides must have this format:

where <format> can be pptx or pdf .

This way, you can bypass Google Drive viewer or Google Slides editor and create direct download links to include in any web page. The main benefit is that you only need to maintain and host one presentation and then a direct link can be provided for anyone who need to download it in a different format.

Hope this information helps you.

• 2 yes, I already know about that. It puzzles me that the link provided is not in this standard expected format, and yet it links to a valid Google slide presentation; so I wonder how I can download a copy in PDF, since it's publicly accessible. –  evandrix Commented Feb 20, 2017 at 4:09

Did you receive a PowerPoint presentation, but you don’t have PowerPoint? Giving up on Microsoft Office and making the change to Google Slides? No problem; Google Slides lets you easily import PowerPoint presentations. And while it might not support some of the same features and effects of a PowerPoint presentation, it works pretty well.

To view a PowerPoint presentation on Google Slides, you must first upload the file to your Google Drive. Open  Google Drive , click “New,” and then click “File Upload” to get started.

Navigate to your file(s) and then click “Open.”

Alternatively, you can drag and drop a file from your computer directly into the web browser for an easy upload.

Once your file uploads, right-click it, point to “Open With” on the context menu, and then select “Google Slides.”

Google then converts your presentation into a Google Slides file on your Drive account.

After you’ve finished editing your file, you can either  share it with others  or download and export your presentation back into a Microsoft PowerPoint format by going to File > Download As and then clicking the “Microsoft PowerPoint” option.

How to Convert Presentations from PowerPoint to Google Slides

Have you ever found yourself needing to convert a PowerPoint presentation to Google Slides? It’s easier than you think! Many professionals and educators prefer Google Slides for its ease of sharing and real-time collaboration features. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step. Plus, we’ll share some handy tips and tricks to make your transition smooth.

Step-by-Step Guide to Convert PowerPoint to Google Slides

Step 1: upload your powerpoint file to google drive.

To start, upload your PowerPoint file to Google Drive. Here’s how:

• Open Google Drive.
• Then, click the “New” button available at the top left corner.
• Select “File upload” from the dropdown menu.
• Choose the PowerPoint file (.pptx) you want to convert and upload it.

Step 2: Open the PowerPoint File with Google Slides

Once your file is uploaded to Google Drive, follow these steps:

• Locate the uploaded PowerPoint file in your Google Drive.
• Right-click on the file.
• Then, select “Google Slides” by hovering over the “Open with” option.

Google Slides will automatically convert your PowerPoint file to a Google Slides presentation. This conversion usually retains most of the formatting and content, but it’s always a good idea to review the presentation to ensure everything looks correct.

Step 3: Review and Edit Your Presentation

After opening your PowerPoint file in Google Slides, take some time to review and edit your presentation. Here are some things to check:

• Formatting: Ensure all fonts, colors, and layouts have been preserved correctly.
• Images and Media: Check that all images, videos, and other media elements are displayed properly.
• Animations and Transitions: Some animations and transitions may not convert perfectly. Adjust them as needed.

Step 4: Save and Share Your Google Slides Presentation

Once you’ve reviewed and edited your presentation, it’s time to save and share it. Since your file is already in Google Drive, it’s easy to share with others:

• Click the “Share” button located in the top right corner.
• Enter the email addresses of the recipients you want to share the presentation with.
• Set their access level to Viewer, Commenter, or Editor, depending on their role.
• Click “Send.”

Additional Tips and Tricks: Use Free Presentation Templates

To make your presentation stand out, consider using free presentation templates available online. These templates can save you time and provide a professional look for your slides. SlideEgg offers a variety of free templates that are easy to customize.

Why Convert PowerPoint to Google Slides?

It’s important to understand why you might want to convert your PowerPoint presentations to Google Slides. Here are a few reasons:

• Collaborate in Real-Time: Google Slides supports real-time collaboration, allowing multiple users to work on the same presentation together.
• Cloud Storage: Your presentations are stored in Google Drive, making them accessible from anywhere.
• Automatic Saving: Google Slides automatically saves your work, reducing the risk of data loss.
• Integration with Google Apps: Seamlessly integrate with other Google services like Google Docs, Sheets, and Forms.

When to Choose a Different Path

While Google Slides is fantastic, it might not be the best fit for every presentation. If you’ve got a super complex presentation with lots of animations and fancy multimedia stuff, converting it might be tricky. In this case, consider saving your PowerPoint as a PDF. Don’t miss our guide on “How to Save Your PowerPoint Presentation as a PDF.”

Introduction

Google Slides is a powerful online presentation tool offered by Google as part of their suite of productivity applications. With Google Slides, users can create, edit, and collaborate on stunning presentations that can be accessed from any device with an internet connection. It offers a wide range of features and templates to help users create professional-looking slideshows.

One of the great advantages of Google Slides is the ability to add speaker notes to your presentation. Speaker notes are an essential tool for presenters as they provide additional context, talking points, and reminders during a presentation. They can help speakers stay on track, provide more in-depth explanations, and ensure that the key points are covered.

However, there may be occasions when you need to download your Google Slides presentation along with the speaker notes. This could be for backup purposes, sharing with someone who doesn’t have internet access, or for printing handouts. In this article, we will explore different methods to download Google Slides with speaker notes.

We will cover three methods: using the “Download as” option, exporting as PowerPoint and adding speaker notes, and downloading as a PDF with speaker notes. Each method has its advantages and can be used depending on your specific needs. So, let’s dive in and learn how to download Google Slides with speaker notes!

What are Google Slides

Google Slides is a cloud-based presentation software developed by Google. It is part of the Google Workspace suite of applications and provides users with a simple and intuitive platform to create, edit, and share presentations.

Similar to Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides allows users to create slideshows with various multimedia elements, such as text, images, videos, charts, and animations. It offers a wide range of themes, templates, and formatting options to help users create visually appealing and professional-looking presentations.

One of the standout features of Google Slides is its collaborative capabilities. Users can invite others to collaborate on the same presentation in real-time, making it an ideal tool for group projects or remote teams. Multiple users can simultaneously edit slides, add comments, and make revisions, ensuring seamless collaboration and improved productivity.

Google Slides also integrates seamlessly with other Google Workspace applications, such as Google Docs and Google Sheets. Users can easily import content from these applications or export their slides as documents or spreadsheets. This integration streamlines the workflow and allows for a more cohesive and integrated work experience.

Furthermore, Google Slides offers a variety of sharing options. Users can share their presentations with specific individuals, create a link to share with a larger audience, or publish the presentation on the web. With the ability to control viewing and editing permissions, presenters have full control over who can access, view, and modify their slides.

Whether you’re a student, teacher, business professional, or someone who needs to deliver impactful presentations, Google Slides provides a user-friendly and feature-rich platform to create compelling slideshows.

Now that we have a brief understanding of what Google Slides is, let’s explore why you might want to download Google Slides with speaker notes.

Why Download Google Slides with Speaker Notes

When delivering a presentation, having access to speaker notes is incredibly valuable. Speaker notes provide additional information, reminders, and talking points that can help guide the presenter and ensure a smooth and informative presentation.

Here are a few reasons why you might want to download Google Slides with speaker notes:

• Backup and Offline Access: By downloading your Google Slides presentation with speaker notes, you have a local copy saved on your device. This serves as a backup in case of any technical issues or internet connection problems during your presentation. It also allows you to access your presentation offline, which can be useful when presenting in areas with limited or no internet connectivity.
• Sharing with Non-Google Users: Not everyone has a Google account or access to the Google Slides application. By downloading your presentation with speaker notes, you can share it with individuals who don’t use Google services. This ensures that they can still view the slides and have access to the accompanying speaker notes for a comprehensive understanding of your presentation.
• Printing Handouts: Sometimes, presenters prefer to provide printed handouts to their audience for reference or note-taking. By downloading your Google Slides with speaker notes, you can easily print handouts that include both the slide content and the speaker notes. This allows your audience to follow along with the presentation and have reference material to review later.
• Archiving and Documentation: Downloading Google Slides with speaker notes also serves as a way to archive and document your presentations. This can be useful for record-keeping, future reference, or when you need to track the evolution of your presentation over time. Having speaker notes included in the downloaded version ensures that you have a comprehensive record of the information and insights shared during each presentation.

These are just a few examples of why downloading Google Slides with speaker notes can be advantageous. Now that we understand the importance of having speaker notes and the benefits of downloading them, let’s explore different methods to accomplish this task.

Method 1: Using the “Download as” Option

Google Slides provides a simple and straightforward way to download your presentation with speaker notes using the “Download as” feature. Follow the steps below to utilize this method:

• Open your Google Slides presentation in your web browser.
• Click on the “File” menu at the top left corner of the screen.
• From the drop-down menu, select the “Download” option.
• You will see a list of download options. Choose the file format you prefer, such as Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF (.pdf).
• After selecting the desired format, a dialogue box may appear asking if you want to include speaker notes. Ensure that the “Speaker notes” box is checked.
• Click on the “Download” button to begin the downloading process.
• Once the download is complete, you will have a copy of your Google Slides presentation with speaker notes saved on your computer or device.

Using the “Download as” option is a quick and convenient method to obtain your Google Slides presentation along with the speaker notes. You can choose the file format that suits your needs, whether it’s to edit the slides further in PowerPoint or share a PDF version with others.

Now that we’ve covered the first method, let’s move on to exploring another approach to download Google Slides with speaker notes.

Method 2: Exporting as PowerPoint and Adding Speaker Notes

If you prefer to work with Microsoft PowerPoint and want to add or modify speaker notes before downloading your Google Slides presentation, you can use the method of exporting as PowerPoint. Follow these steps to accomplish this:

• From the drop-down menu, select the “Download” option, then choose “Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)” as the file format.
• A .pptx file will be downloaded to your computer, representing your presentation in a PowerPoint format.
• Open the downloaded .pptx file using Microsoft PowerPoint.
• In PowerPoint, navigate to the “Notes” section, which is typically located below the slide view.
• In the “Notes” section, you can add, edit, or delete speaker notes as needed. These notes will be synced with the corresponding slides in your presentation.
• After making any necessary changes to the speaker notes, save the PowerPoint file.
• You now have a copy of your Google Slides presentation with updated speaker notes in the PowerPoint format.

By exporting your Google Slides presentation as a PowerPoint file, you have the flexibility to customize the speaker notes to your liking. PowerPoint offers additional formatting features and tools that you can use to enhance your presentation even further.

This method allows you to take advantage of PowerPoint’s rich editing capabilities while retaining the original content and layout from your Google Slides presentation. It is particularly useful if you want to fine-tune the speaker notes or make additional changes before finalizing your presentation.

Now that we have explored the second method, let’s move on to the final approach to download Google Slides with speaker notes.

Method 3: Downloading as PDF with Speaker Notes

If you prefer to have your Google Slides presentation with speaker notes in a format that is widely accessible and easily shareable, you can choose to download it as a PDF file. Follow the steps below to download your presentation as a PDF with speaker notes:

• From the drop-down menu, select the “Download” option, then choose “PDF Document (.pdf)” as the file format.
• A PDF file will be downloaded to your computer, containing your Google Slides presentation along with the speaker notes.
• Open the downloaded PDF file using a PDF viewer or reader program.
• In the PDF file, you will see the slides displayed, with the accompanying speaker notes visible below each slide.
• You can now view, share, or print the PDF file, ensuring that both the slides and speaker notes are available to your intended audience.

Downloading your Google Slides presentation as a PDF with speaker notes provides you with a portable and universally accessible document format. PDF files can be easily viewed on various devices and operating systems without the need for specific presentation software.

This method is particularly useful when you want to distribute your presentation to others who may not have access to Google Slides or PowerPoint. The PDF file ensures that the content, layout, and speaker notes are preserved, allowing recipients to have a comprehensive understanding of your presentation.

Now that we have explored all three methods to download Google Slides with speaker notes, let’s summarize what we have learned so far.

In this article, we have explored different methods to download Google Slides with speaker notes. Speaker notes are essential for presenters as they provide additional information, reminders, and talking points during a presentation. Having access to speaker notes in a downloadable format can be useful for various reasons.

We started by understanding what Google Slides is – a cloud-based presentation software that allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on presentations online. We then discussed the importance of downloading Google Slides with speaker notes.

Method 1 involved using the “Download as” option in Google Slides to save the presentation along with the speaker notes. This quick and convenient method allows you to choose the desired file format, such as PowerPoint or PDF, for downloading.

Method 2 focused on exporting the Google Slides presentation as a PowerPoint file. This method allows you to further customize the speaker notes using PowerPoint’s features and tools before downloading the presentation.

Finally, Method 3 demonstrated how to download the presentation as a PDF with speaker notes. This method provides a universally accessible and easily shareable format, allowing recipients to view the slides and accompanying speaker notes without requiring presentation software.

By utilizing these different methods, you can ensure that you have a copy of your Google Slides presentation along with the valuable speaker notes. Whether you want a backup copy, need to share with non-Google users, print handouts, or archive your presentations, downloading Google Slides with speaker notes is a practical and beneficial approach.

We hope this article has helped you understand the various methods available to download Google Slides with speaker notes. Choose the method that best suits your needs and make the most of your presentations!
