TL;DR
To import a presentation into a Klaxoon Board, click the three-dot menu → Import → Presentation, then select a supported file (PDF or PPTX) and click Open. Klaxoon automatically converts each slide to an image, places them in order, and creates a zone per slide. Use Import > Presentation (not Convert > PDF) for slide images. After importing, you can comment, add questions/stickies, or present the deck.

Overview
Use Import > Presentation to add a presentation to a Board as slide images. Klaxoon uploads the file, converts each slide on the server, places the slides in order, and creates a zone for each slide automatically.
Important: If you want to import slides from a presentation, use Import > Presentation. Do not use Convert > PDF for this workflow. That option converts the file into vector objects instead of slide images.
How to Import a Presentation
- Open the Board where you want to import the presentation.
- Click the three-dot 1 menu in the toolbar.
- Click Import 2.
- Select Presentation 3.
-
Choose a supported file, such as a PDF or PPTX 4.
- Click Open 5 to upload the file.
Important
Klaxoon checks the file format before the upload starts. If the file type isn’t supported, you’ll see an error message, and the upload won’t begin.
-
Wait while Klaxoon uploads and converts the file.
Note
While the upload is in progress, you’ll see a loading message. Click Cancel if you want to stop the import.
What Klaxoon Adds to the Board
After the import finishes, Klaxoon automatically:
- Converts each slide into an image
- Places all slide images on the Board in one horizontal row
- Keeps the original slide order
- Creates one zone for each slide
- Names each zone with the slide number and file name
- Selects all imported slides and zones
- Opens the zone summary, if it isn’t open already
- Zooms to the first two imported slides
Note
You don’t need to convert slides manually, align them, or create zones one by one.
What You Can Do Next
After import, you can:
- Comment on slides
- Add questions
- Add stickies
- Present the deck with the existing zone slideshow
