On a computer, open the presentation in Google Slides and choose File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). The important caveat: Google’s documentation does not confirm that audio embedded in Slides survives this specific conversion intact. Open the downloaded file in the PowerPoint app you plan to use and test every audio cue before sharing or presenting.

Download the presentation as a PowerPoint file

  1. In Google Slides, open the presentation and play its audio to confirm the source deck works. Google’s instructions cover adding MP3 and WAV files stored in Drive: Add or delete audio in Google Slides.

  2. In a computer browser, select File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). Google describes downloading through File > Download and selecting a file type in its Docs Editors file help.

Will the audio transfer to PowerPoint?

It is not confirmed by the official documentation cited here. Google says embedded audio and video are included in Google Slides data exports, but that general statement does not specifically establish that audio is retained in a Slides-to-PPTX download: Download a file. Treat the downloaded presentation as unverified until you test it in PowerPoint; audio may be missing or behave differently.

Restore audio that is missing or does not play correctly

If a cue is absent or behaves differently, insert the original audio file into the relevant slide in PowerPoint, then test it again. Microsoft lists MP3 and WAV as supported audio formats and recommends M4A encoded with AAC. See Microsoft’s guidance for adding audio to PowerPoint.

Exporting from an iPhone, iPad, or Android device

Google’s help pages say the Slides apps for iPhone and iPad, and for Android, can export presentations as PPTX. Those instructions do not establish whether embedded audio survives the mobile conversion, so open the exported file in the target PowerPoint app and check the audio there: Use Google Slides on an iPhone or iPad and Use Google Slides on an Android device.
