Export Formats
Export your Moda designs as PDF, PowerPoint, PNG, JPG, MP4, GIF, or Google Slides.
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
| Format | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | Lossless raster image | Complex images, illustrations |
| JPG | Compressed raster image | Sharing, social media |
| Document format | Documents, emailing, printing | |
| PowerPoint (PPTX) | Microsoft PowerPoint | Presentations, editable slides |
| MP4 Video | Video of a single page | Animated single-page designs |
| GIF | Animated image | Short clips, no sound |
| MP4 (Full Video) | All pages as a single video | Full presentations with transitions |
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:
- Connect your Google account from the export menu
- Click Export to Google Slides
- 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, you can choose to export:
- All pages: The entire design as a single file
- Current page: Just the currently selected page
- Selected pages: A subset of pages
