You can get a chart into PowerPoint three ways, depending on whether you need to edit it later.
1. Download a PowerPoint file (editable)
On any chart, press Share & export → PowerPoint. You get a styled slide with your title, subtitle and source. For these chart types it's a native PowerPoint chart:
- Bar and column charts (including grouped, stacked and 100% stacked)
- Line and area charts
- Pie and doughnut charts
- Scatter, bubble and radar charts
Native means you can restyle it with PowerPoint's own tools, and change the numbers by right-clicking the chart and choosing Edit Data. Your data is also copied into the slide's speaker notes.
Other chart types, like Sankey diagrams, treemaps and maps, go in as a sharp, high-resolution image.
2. Copy and paste (quickest)
Press Copy image and paste straight into PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Turn on Transparent background under Style first if your slide has a coloured background.
3. An animated slide
Press Create video first, then PowerPoint: your file gets a second slide that plays the animation.
Good to know
- Use the 16:9 size for modern slides, or 4:3 for older templates.
- If you've used highlight, notes or a target line, the chart goes in as an image so those stay exactly as you designed them.
- A brand kit carries your logo and font onto the slide.
