Can I use an Illustrator file to create a PowerPoint template?

Absolutely, it’s possible to utilize an Adobe Illustrator file to create a PowerPoint template. However, the process involves several steps and requires some technical knowledge.

Firstly, you need to design your slides in Adobe Illustrator. Keep in mind that the standard PowerPoint slide size is 13.33 x 7.5 inches for a widescreen (16:9) layout. Once you’re done with the design, save each slide as a separate PNG or JPEG file.

Afterwards, open PowerPoint and go to ‘Design’ > ‘Slide Size’ > ‘Custom Slide Size’ to set the same dimensions as the Illustrator file. Then, click ‘Insert’ > ‘Pictures’ to import each of your saved image files onto a new slide.

While this process works, it’s worth noting that the resulting slides will be static images, which means you won’t be able to edit the elements directly in PowerPoint. To have fully editable elements, you need to manually recreate them in PowerPoint or hire a professional PowerPoint design agency like SlideGenius to convert your Illustrator designs into PowerPoint.
