MacBook – How to show a Keynote presentation on other platforms

keynotemacbook pro

I will make a presentation about my project in my college, and I will use Keynote to make the presentation file because I found it better than Powerpoint.

I have a Macbook Pro and I can't connect it to the projector directly.

Is there any way to use the Keynote file on Windows with all the features?

Best Answer

From your Keynote document select:

File > Export > PPT...

or better (to avoid most problems with PowerPoint format):

File > Export > PDF...

This last format will work perfectly on any Unix and any Windows.


Warning: test these formats on the target system before a serious presentation.

With both formats, video, animation, transitions and presenter notes will be lost.

If your projector is of the VGA era (see https://www.google.fr/search?q=vga&source=lnms&tbm=isch) then I would advise you to:

  1. Stay with Keynote (this software is still many years ahead of many others and mostly of PowerPoint).
  2. Buy a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
