How to view and present offline with Prezi

Need to present without an internet connection? You can still deliver your presentation smoothly with Prezi. Log in to the app before going offline and your content stays ready to use. You can also download a portable Prezi to have a standalone file for offline presenting. This way, even if your connection drops, your presentation keeps going.

  1. Log in to the Prezi desktop app while online.
  2. Once offline, from the Dashboard click Present on your presentation's thumbnail to view it.
  3. To present later from anywhere without logging in, click the three dots on your presentation's thumbnail and choose Download.
  4. Export the offline file as .EXE (Windows) or .ZIP (Mac) and open it to present anywhere.
