It’s really easy to convert a Canva presentation to a PowerPoint presentation (i.e. a .pptx file). The presentation feature in Canva has had many features added to it, and there are loads of templates to choose from. So you may find yourself using Canva instead of PowerPoint. However, you may need to download your Canva presentation as a PowerPoint file at some point, perhaps to share it with someone who isn’t using Canva. It’s really easy to do 🙂
