A downloaded presentation, also known as a portable prezi, is a standalone file that doesn't require an Internet connection or a Prezi account to be viewed or presented. They’re excellent for making a backup, and a great way to be prepared for your presentation.

Paid feature: Downloading a presentation is available for users with a Plus or higher Prezi plan. Luckily it’s a breeze to upgrade your license and get access to this and all the other great features our Prezi plans have to offer.

Presenting a downloaded presentation

A portable prezi will come as either an EXE file for Windows or a ZIP file for Mac. If you've received a portable prezi for viewing, make sure it is one of these file types. Otherwise, the presentation will not be viewable.

Windows

1. Double-click on the EXE file. Your presentation will load.
2. When it opens, it’s immediately ready to view or present.

Note: Windows 10 (64 bit) or newer with DirectX 11 or higher is required to view a portable prezi. You’ll also need a dedicated or integrated graphics card.

Mac

1. Double-click the ZIP file to unzip the folder.
2. Open the folder, and double-click on the Prezi icon to open your presentation.
3. It is now ready to be viewed by a client or shown to the world.
