# How to Download and Export a Presentation in Decktopus AI

Learn how to export your Decktopus AI presentation as a PDF, PPT, or PNG file directly from the editor or dashboard in just a few steps.

Once your presentation is ready, exporting it takes just a few clicks. Decktopus lets you download from inside the editor or directly from the dashboard, in your choice of format and quality. Export is available on Pro and Business plans.

You can download your presentation in two ways:

> **Warning:** Please note that a subscription is required to access this feature.

**From the editor:**

1.  Open the presentation and click **Download** at the top right.

2.  Choose your format:
    

-   **PDF:** A fixed-format file that looks the same on any device. Best for sharing or printing.
    
-   **PPT:** A fully editable file you can open in PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides.
    
-   **PNG:** Exports each slide as a separate image file.
