# Introducing Deck 1.0 — The Sketch to PowerPoint converter

By [Jinson Johny](https://jinson.me/about.md) · \~3 min read on Sketch App Sources

## In short

Jinson Johny introduces Deck 1.0, a Sketch plugin that converts selected artboards into an editable PPTX file that opens in Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote and Google Slides. It grew out of an online Sketch-to-PPT MVP he built two years earlier, rebuilt as a plugin for better performance and a better experience.

## Key takeaways

1. **From MVP to plugin.** Deck replaces his earlier online Sketch-to-PPT converter with a Sketch plugin.
2. **One artboard, one slide.** Each selected artboard becomes a slide, ordered bottom to top in the layers panel, and all artboards must be the same size.
3. **Deleted after download.** Converted files are removed from the server once downloaded, and no configuration is stored.
4. **Figma and XD next.** The roadmap expands Deck to Figma and XD, with a waiting list for interested users.
