Frequently asked questions
Will my animations and transitions convert?
Standard animations (fade, slide, dissolve) convert reliably. Keynote-specific animations (Magic Move, Object Transformations) may convert to PowerPoint approximations or simplify to fade transitions. Review the PPTX in PowerPoint to catch any changes.
Can I convert without a Mac?
Use iCloud.com → Keynote → upload your .key file → File → Download a Copy → PowerPoint. Works in any browser. No Mac required, just an Apple ID.
Why does my Keynote look different in PowerPoint?
Fonts may not match if the recipient's system doesn't have Keynote's default fonts (San Francisco, etc.). Layout may shift with substitute fonts. For guaranteed visual fidelity, export to PDF instead — but you lose editability.
