You've just visualized a brilliant idea with Napkin AI. It’s clean, sharp, and communicates your thought perfectly. But now you’re asking: How do I turn this into a presentation I can use in PowerPoint or Google Slides?
Napkin AI is great for sketching ideas, but when it comes to sharing those ideas in a more formal, editable slide format, you need a few extra steps. That’s where MagicSlides comes in.
Whether you want to present your Napkin output in a client meeting or turn it into a pitch deck, here’s exactly how to convert it into a professional presentation, in minutes.
Step 1: Export Your Napkin AI Visual
Napkin AI doesn’t export directly to PowerPoint yet, but you can easily download your visual as a PDF, which acts as a perfect bridge.
Here’s how:
- Open your project in Napkin AI.
- Click Share in the top right.
- Select Download PDF, or use the three-dot menu in the left Library panel and choose Download PDF.
- Save the file to your device.
This gives you a visual asset that you can now convert into slides.
Step 2: Convert Your PDF to a Presentation with MagicSlides
Now that you have your Napkin AI PDF, you can turn it into a presentation using either the MagicSlides web app or the MagicSlides Addon for Google Slides, whichever works best for your workflow.
Option 1: Use MagicSlides Web App (Super Quick)
- Visit magicslides.app or simply go to present.new.
- Upload your Napkin AI PDF or enter the main topic or idea from your Napkin sketch.
- Choose themes and other information as prompted.
- In seconds, MagicSlides will generate a full, editable presentation based on your input.
Once done, you can tweak it by:
- Adding your Napkin visuals as image slides
- Inserting GIFs, charts, or custom text
- Changing layouts, colors, or themes to match your style
Download it as a PowerPoint file (.pptx) when you’re ready to present.
Option 2: Use MagicSlides Addon (Right Inside Google Slides)
If you prefer to stay within Google Slides, the MagicSlides Addon is your go-to.
Here’s how to use it:
- Install the MagicSlides Addon from here.
- Open a Google Slides presentation and launch MagicSlides from the Extensions menu.

- Generate a new presentation from a topic
- Upload your Napkin PDF
- Or paste summarized content from your Napkin visual

- Embedded Napkin graphics or supporting diagrams
Once complete, you can download the file as a .pptx for PowerPoint use, or present it directly in Google Slides.
