I need help opening a keynote file in a powerpoint.

Hi, I have slides that I created using Keynote that I need to send as a report. But my colleague can't open it using Powerpoint. Any tips or tricks on how to make this work. Thanks in advance!

Powerpoint can't open a Keynote document.


But have you tried File > Export to> Powerpoint...?


The translation may not be perfect but it may may work well enough for your purposes.


You could also save the document in iCloud Drive, sign into iCloud.com, go to iCloud Keynote, open the document there, and share a link.
