Moda supports several export formats. The default format depends on your canvas type: slide decks default to PPTX, PDF-type canvases default to PDF, and other canvases default to PNG.

​
Available formats

​
Exporting as PDF

PDF export creates a hybrid PDF with:
  • Selectable text: Text elements are rendered as real text in the PDF, not rasterized
  • Vector elements where possible
  • Hyperlinks preserved from the design
There is also a Flatten PDF option that rasterizes everything, which can be useful if the hybrid PDF has rendering differences.

​
Exporting as PowerPoint (PPTX)

PowerPoint export converts your design to a native .pptx file:
  • Supported elements are converted to native PowerPoint objects (text, shapes, images)
  • Backgrounds are detected and placed as slide masters (non-editable background layer)
  • Unsupported shapes are rasterized — complex vector elements that don’t have a PowerPoint equivalent are rendered as images

​
What transfers and what doesn’t

  • Text, basic shapes, and images transfer as editable PowerPoint objects
  • Complex vector paths, blending modes, and advanced styling may be rasterized
  • Animations do not transfer to PowerPoint
  • The exported file is a best-effort conversion — some visual differences are expected

​
Exporting as PNG / JPG

Raster image export renders your design as a pixel image:
  • You can choose the export scale (1x, 2x, 3x, etc.) for higher resolution
  • You can export individual pages or all pages
  • Very large exports (dimensions over 8,192px or area over 50 million pixels) use tiled rendering to work within GPU limits
  • If rendering fails at high scale, Moda automatically retries at 1x scale

​
Exporting as video

Video export is available for designs with animations:
  • MP4 (single page): Exports one page’s animation as an H.264 video at 30 FPS
  • GIF (single page): Exports one page’s animation as a GIF at 12 FPS
  • MP4 Full Video (all pages): Exports all pages as a single video with transitions between slides
Video encoding first tries WebCodecs (in-browser encoding). If that fails or the export is too large (over ~9.4 megapixels), it falls back to server-side FFmpeg encoding, which may take longer. For mixed page sizes in full video export, Moda adds letterboxing to maintain consistent dimensions.

​
Exporting for Google Slides

Google Slides export is available for slide-type canvases only:
  1. Connect your Google account from the export menu
  2. Click Export to Google Slides
  3. The exported presentation opens in a new tab in Google Slides

​
What transfers and what doesn’t

  • Text, basic shapes, and many images transfer as editable Google Slides content
  • Complex vector artwork, blends, SVG-backed assets, and advanced image treatments may be rasterized for fidelity
  • Semi-transparent text may appear more opaque after export because Slides does not preserve editable text alpha reliably
  • Custom letter-spacing does not transfer
  • Animations do not transfer
  • Portrait and custom page sizes may still open as standard 16:9 Slides presentations
Google Slides export is a best-effort conversion. Moda keeps content editable where the Slides API supports it and uses raster fallbacks where fidelity matters more than editability.

​
Downloading individual slides vs. full deck

When exporting, the page selector at the top of the export dialog offers:
  • All pages — every page in the design
  • Current page — just the page you’re on, named so you can confirm it’s the right one
  • Selected pages — tick individual pages from the list
For formats that produce one file per page (PNG, JPG), exporting several pages gives you a ZIP. PDF and PPTX combine the selected pages into a single document.
