How to Con­vert MS Pow­er­Point Pre­sen­ta­tions to Keynote – Guide

When it comes to presentations, PowerPoint is the industry standard for many people. That is, for those who use Windows products. Apple users will tell you that Keynote is the default for them. We live in a world where Windows and Mac users need to coexist. That’s why you need to learn how to convert PowerPoint to Keynote. After all, you will need to work with PowerPoint users from time to time.

How to Convert PowerPoint to Keynote

Open a PowerPoint presentation in Keynote

  • It turns out that opening a presentation in Keynote is easier than you might think. Of course, Apple has recognized its role as the second player in the presentation app market and knows it will take some time to understand up for PowerPoint’s market share.
  • Therefore, opening up a PowerPoint presentation in Keynote is quite simple. On Mac, open PowerPoint and browse to the PPTX or PPT file. Then click Open to launch Keynote.
  • You will now see the presentation in Keynote. You may see some warnings about items that don’t translate well to Keynote, but don’t worry about that for now.
  • I’m always amazed at how well this conversion process usually works. For example, integrated audio, images, and video all worked perfectly in my tests. Unless these files are very unusual or specific file formats, conversion typically takes care of perhaps 90% of the work. Once the conversion is complete, save an updated version of the file as a .keynote file.
  • Keynote will automatically take care of most of the work in the conversion step. However, this may not be the only step you need to take to prepare your presentation for use in Keynote. Read on to adjust everything else.

    • Review the notices

  • You may have noticed when opening a PowerPoint presentation in Keynote that there are some warnings about how the “PowerPoint presentation might look different”. Keynote flags problems that may have occurred during the conversion.
  • let’s look at how to correct and modify the presentation so that it converts as smoothly as possible between the two applications.

    • replace fonts

  • This issue is not specific to converting PowerPoint presentations to Keynote, but you will likely see this issue when converting. You need to replace the fonts if you don’t have them installed on your Mac.
  • When you download Elements Presentation Templates, the author is likely to use free fonts available online, so be sure to check the documentation and download those available fonts if applicable.
  • To replace a font, click on Replace Fonts… button in this pop-up window. You will have the chance to select replacements from the dropdown menu. If you know of a similar font type, you can simply select it from this drop-down menu to replace all occurrences of it in your Keynote presentation, as you can see in the screenshot below.
  • If you don’t have access to the fonts used by the PowerPoint author, you might need to make substitutions. From the Replace Fonts menu, choose alternate fonts from the drop-down options.

    • Check tables and graphs

  • PowerPoint has some really advanced graphics features thanks to its tight integration with applications like Excel. Stacked bar charts, pie charts, and more are easy to create in PowerPoint. Keynote also makes graphing easy, but the formats don’t translate one by one.
  • The problem is, when you try to bring these graphics into Keynote, they don’t convert easily. This aspect is just one area where the conversion sometimes misses the mark.
  • Simply put, you may need to recreate new graphics in Keynote. This is a content type that just doesn’t convert easily. Both presentation platforms implemented different ways of making graphics, and it’s natural that it doesn’t always work perfectly.
