Have an existing presentation that you would like to use in Mentimeter? With a Basic or Pro plan, you can easily import PowerPoint, Keynote, or PDF presentation to Mentimeter and enhance it with interactive slide types.

Please Note: The slide deck will import as static images, without animations. To keep the animations, you can instead embed your PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation in Mentimeter. For videos in the presentation, you can add them to your presentation by adding a Video slide.

How to import a presentation from Google Slides

The currently supported file formats to import are .ppt, .pptx, .key, and .pdf. If you want to import slides from a Google Slides presentation, you can download them as .pptx or .pdf file before importing them to Mentimeter.

How imported slides appear to the Audience

When you have imported slides to Mentimeter, the slides will be imported as static images. When participants join the presentation from their voting device, the imported slide will show up as an image on their end.

If your slide has detailed information and the image looks too small from the voting view, participants can simply tap on the slide to view a larger version. Participants can also tilt their devices to landscape mode for an even more optimized view.
