Export overview

Use Export when your carousel is saved, reviewed, and ready to share.

SlideDrift supports downloads, public share links, website embeds, and LinkedIn scheduling from the export dialog.

Export options

• Export as PDF: best for uploading a document carousel to LinkedIn.
• Export as PNG: downloads a ZIP with image files.
• Share links and embeds: creates a public viewer link and iframe embed code.
• LinkedIn scheduling: connects LinkedIn accounts and queues carousel document posts.
• Watermark and attribution: explains the SlideDrift banner and credit behavior.

Before exporting

Review the deck carefully:

1. Read every slide.
2. Check images and spacing.
3. Confirm the slide order.
4. Decide whether you want all pages, the current page, or selected pages.
5. Choose PDF, PNG, share link, embed, or LinkedIn scheduling.

Export is not available in local development mode. Use the production app for real exports.

SlideDrift validates export format, mode, slide selection, and output dimensions before rendering. If an export fails before delivery, try again after checking the deck still has valid slides.

Choose the right output

Use PDF when you want to upload a document carousel to LinkedIn or schedule a LinkedIn document post from SlideDrift.

Use PNG when you need individual slide images for another tool, manual upload, or a quick visual review.

Use a share link when someone should view the carousel in a browser.

Use an embed when the carousel should appear inside another website page.

Use LinkedIn scheduling when you want the carousel PDF, caption, target account, timezone, and posting status to stay together in SlideDrift.

Delivery and limits

SlideDrift counts delivered export allowance after a file or share link is delivered. If rendering fails before delivery, the failed attempt should not count as a delivered export.

Free exports include the SlideDrift banner. Paid plans can remove the banner when exporting, subject to the current plan and credit rules.
