With the recent launch of Figma Slides, many fans are thrilled that they can now create presentations in Figma, too!

If you’re picturing a lot of copying-and-pasting, or manually recreating your beautiful slides from scratch in Figma, think again.
This guide will take you through how easy it is to go from Keynote to Figma:
- Launch office.to.design
- Drag and drop your Keynote file in the plugin
- Your Keynote is converted into editable Figma designs!
How to go from Keynote to Figma Slides
Converting your Keynote presentations to Figma Slides is a quick and easy process with the office.to.design plugin. Here's how to do it:
1) Launch the plugin office.to.desgin
Run office.to.design in the Figma file where you want to import your Keynote slide deck.
2) Upload your Keynote presentation
Upload or drag and drop your Keynote file into the plugin (it also works for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations). Edit the settings such as range of pages (PRO feature), font mappings and frame stacking to configure your ideal import.
3) Convert Keynote to Figma designs
office.to.design automatically converts the presentation into fully editable Figma layers.
4) Copy to Figma Slides
Next, select the frames you want to use in your Figma slide deck and click "Copy to Figma Slides" in the right toolbar.
ℹ️ Make sure the dimensions of the slide deck’s top-level frames use an aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9, otherwise the “Copy to Figma Slides” option won’t appear. You can read more about this feature here.
5) Your Keynote is now a Figma Slide deck
All done! Your Keynote presentation has now been converted to Figma Slides so you can start collaborating with your team directly in Figma.
Why move your Keynote slides to Figma?
Moving from Keynote to Figma Slides is more than just a change in tools - it's an upgrade in how we can create and collaborate on presentations. Figma Slides offers the familiarity of slide-based presentations combined with Figma’s powerful design and collaboration features. There are multiple benefits in converting Keynote decks into Figma Slides:
♻️ Repurpose old presentations
By importing your Keynote presentations as editable Figma designs, you can use old slide decks as templates for new ones in Figma Slides. Use your old Keynote decks as a base, right in Figma, instead of creating new presentations from scratch.
🦋 Migrate from one tool to another
If you’re looking to migrate from Keynote to Figma Slides, the above guide is a quick and seamless way to move all your existing presentations into Figma, in an editable format.
📄 Use important content
Even if you don’t need the designs of your Keynote presentations, there still might be some content you want to use and quickly import into Figma. Importing your Keynotes into Figma with office.to.design allows you to quickly bring in important information or content without the hassle of manual copying-and-pasting.
🤝 Collaborate with your team
One main reason why designers are making the switch to Figma Slides is due to Figma's advanced collaboration features. Figma Slides offers the ability to create slide decks together with your team and edit in realtime as a group. Keynote, for example, doesn’t allow multiple editors working on the same file at once, making Figma Slides a superior collaboration option.
