— Additional Notes

• 16:9 ratio frames are recommended (eg. 1280×720 or 1920×1080) for the best results.

• If your presentation contains many slides with large images, please note that Pitchdeck may take a bit longer to initially load (and refresh) your frames.

• If you add or update any layers in your Figma file while Pitchdeck is already running, you can click the “Refresh” icon in the Pitchdeck header menu to refresh your layers and make them show up in the Pitchdeck slides and animation previews.

• Pitchdeck will automatically detect if a layer contains areas of full transparency and set “PNG” as the default export format, otherwise it will be set to “JPG”. You can override this to set the export format of any layer to JPG or PNG by adding your own export setting.

• You can set a solid background colour on any slide by setting the “fill” of that frame to the colour you’d like in Figma.

• Presentation URLs will automatically expire after a 30 day period of inactivity (30 days after the link was last accessed and viewed); if you would like to re-activate the URL after it has expired, simply run Pitchdeck in the Figma file and click “Upload Presentation”.
