Export Document Options

You can customize the way your file looks once you export it.

Your settings will be saved for the future every time you change them.

Basic

Filename
Select to change the name of the exported file.

Content
This option lets you control which part of the slide will be exported to the file.

You can select from:

  • Fit entire slide – each and every element of your slide will be exported

    Tip: Zoom in and out to help you get a better look at what's on your slide.

  • Current view – only the elements you see within the frames of your device will be exported. Zoom in and out to select the area you'd like to export
  • Camera frame – lets you precisely select which part of the slide gets exported by controlling the camera frame

Page size
Select to choose the desired page size and its orientation.

Note: The listed formats depend on your device's region.

Margin
This option lets you choose the margin of the exported file, i.e. the space between the content and the edge of your document on the top, bottom and both sides of the page, depending on your needs and liking.

You can select from:

  • None
  • Standard
  • Wide

Advanced

Quality
Select to choose the quality of the exported file. If you want your document to be sharp and clear so you can zoom in on the tiniest details once you export it, choose the best quality for your file. If it’s not that important to you, you can choose the low quality option and reduce both the size of your file and its export time.
