Export and print
Export a deck as a vector PDF, PowerPoint, page images or a bundle you can reopen anywhere, or print it at full size.
Click Export in the top bar, or Export ▾ → Export sheet… in the toolbar. The Export sheet lists every file it can make, with its file name and an estimated size, before you make it. Everything is made in your browser.
What you can export #
- Vector PDF — selectable text: real, searchable text and every image at its own resolution. Small files, crisp at any zoom.
- PowerPoint — editable slides: one slide per page, with every text block still editable. Fonts become Arial. Very large sheets are capped at PowerPoint's largest slide size.
- Web — screen PDF (exact look, raster): each page captured as an image, for screens.
- Print — 300 DPI (exact look, raster): each page captured as an image at print resolution.
- PNG — every page and JPG — every page: one image per page, in a .zip.
- Deck bundle (re-openable anywhere): see Deck bundle.
- Media register (sidecar): the Media register as a .csv. See Images and media.
Click Export or Download on a row to make that file.
Page images #
Page images at sets the resolution for the PNG and JPG exports: 150 dpi — screen or 300 dpi — print.
File names #
Filename pattern sets how every export is named. Use these tokens:
{deck}: the deck's name{profile}: which export it is, like "vector" or "print"{date}: today's date{pages}: the number of pages
The default puts the date first, then the deck's name and the export. The pattern is saved with the deck.
Print #
Click Print / save as PDF (browser)… at the bottom of the Export sheet. Every page goes to your browser's print dialog at its exact sheet size. Use it to print, or to save a PDF another way.
Deck bundle #
The deck bundle is a .pinup.zip with the whole deck and the original file of every uploaded image. Use it to move a deck to another account, or to keep a full copy.
To open one, click Import and pick the bundle. When you're signed in with tool access, its images are added to your file library as it opens. Otherwise the deck opens without its images; sign in and open it again to bring them in.
The deck file #
Export ▾ → Pinup file (.pinup.json) saves the deck alone, without image files. Its images stay in your file library, so it's lighter than the bundle. Click Import to open it again.
Who can export what #
Editors can export everything. Project viewers, and signed-in people on a view-only link, can export the PDFs and page images and print. The deck file, the bundle, PowerPoint and the media register are for editors. See Exports.
