Upload straight from PowerPoint

Send the deck you have open in PowerPoint straight to FeatPaper. Install the add-in once, and you can turn the current presentation into a FeatPaper document without saving a file and uploading it again on the web. You get a share link you can send, and you see who opened it and how far they read.

What you can do here

• Track opens in the same step — send a proposal or deck as a link and see whether it opened and how each page landed.
• Skip the save-and-reupload loop — export from PowerPoint every time you tweak a slide.
• Go from slides to a web link as-is — share the deck as a web viewer with no manual file conversion.
• Push the latest version fast — re-export whenever the deck changes and hand your team or client the newest copy.

What is the PowerPoint plugin?

The PowerPoint plugin (add-in) uploads a presentation to FeatPaper from inside PowerPoint. There is no separate save-and-upload step, so you can export whatever you are working on in one move.

The plugin works on every plan, including the free Starter plan. All you need is edit access to the target folder in your space.

Reach it right from My Documents

Open a folder in My Documents that has no documents yet. Figma, Adobe Express, and PowerPoint icons appear below the upload area in the center. Click the PowerPoint icon to jump to the marketplace install page below.

These icons show up only when the folder is empty. In a folder that already holds documents, use the install link below instead.

Install it

Open Microsoft AppSource

The link below takes you to the FeatPaper plugin page.

What it supports

Feature	What it does
Direct upload	Exports from PowerPoint to FeatPaper in one step.
Folder selection	Picks the destination folder inside the plugin panel.
Space switching	Chooses the target space when you belong to more than one.

After the export, create share links and set viewing controls from the document screen in FeatPaper. The slides are converted and stored in a web-viewable form. Whether the original PPTX file is kept and can be downloaded again is not confirmed.

Plans and permissions

The plugin itself is open on every plan. The real limits are the monthly upload count and the PDF size cap.

Item	Starter	Pro	Business	Enterprise
Plugin access	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Monthly uploads (new documents + versions)	10	30	30 per seat	Custom
PDF file size	30MB	100MB	300MB	Custom

• The size cap is measured against the PDF the plugin converts and sends, not the original PPTX.
• The folder list shows only folders you can edit. A folder shared with you for viewing cannot be picked.
• A document you export into someone else’s folder counts against the plan of the space that folder belongs to.

Ways to use this

The plugin’s value doesn’t stop at removing the save-and-reupload loop — it shows up in what happens after the export: sharing, tracking, and swapping versions.

Send the deck you just finished straight to a link before the meeting

• Situation — you edited the deck 30 minutes before the meeting and still have to get it to the attendees.
• Setup — pick a space and folder under FeatPaper on the PowerPoint ribbon and click Export. Open that document’s Share tab in the dashboard, turn on View notification for the link, and copy the link to send.
• What you get — no saving the file and reuploading it on the web, and before the meeting you can see whether attendees opened it and which slide held them, in document analytics.

Keep a weekly deck on one link

• Situation — re-exporting a weekly report each week keeps adding documents and links, and the recipient loses track of which is current.
• Setup — export with the plugin only the first time. From then on, swap the PDF with Update a document on the document detail Content tab.
• What you get — the link you already sent stays the same, so there is nothing to re-announce, and the reading data collected so far continues on one document. Re-exporting with the plugin creates a second document and splits the link and the data. Version updates work on every plan and use one upload from your monthly limit.

Attach a PPTX and you never learn whether it was opened, and the file itself gets forwarded on. Send a link and you get the open and the per-slide dwell time, and if something goes wrong you deactivate that one link to cut off access.

---

Good to know

• Exporting the same deck again does not update the earlier document. A second document appears in the folder. To keep the link, use Update a document instead.
• There is no auto-sync. After you edit a slide, click Export again.
• The plugin exports the one presentation you currently have open.
• A My Documents screen you already had open may not list the new document right away. Refresh the list.
• Whether the original PPTX is stored for later download is not confirmed. Keep your own copy on the PowerPoint side.

---

Troubleshooting

The plugin doesn't show up

• Quit and restart PowerPoint.
• Check that FeatPaper is enabled under Insert > Add-ins > My Add-ins.
• Contact your IT admin if your organization restricts add-in installs.

The export fails

• Check your internet connection.
• Make sure the file stays inside your plan’s upload limit. That limit reads the converted PDF the plugin uploads, not the original PPTX.
• Sign out of the plugin and sign back in.

No space or folder to select

• Folders you cannot edit never appear in the list. Check your access to that folder.
• Switch to a different space and try again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I upload straight from PowerPoint?

Yes. Install the FeatPaper add-in from Microsoft AppSource, click FeatPaper on the ribbon, pick a space and folder, then click Export. You never save the file and upload it again on the web.

Is the PowerPoint plugin free to use?

Yes. It works on every plan, including the free Starter plan. All you need is edit access to the folder you upload to.

Where do I install the PowerPoint plugin?

From the FeatPaper plugin page on Microsoft AppSource. Opening an empty folder in My Documents also shows a PowerPoint icon that leads to the same page.

Can I get the original PPTX back later after exporting?

Not confirmed. Documents exported through the plugin are converted and stored in a web-viewable form, but whether the original PPTX is kept for download is not confirmed. Save a copy on the PowerPoint side to keep the original.

If I edit the deck in PowerPoint, does the FeatPaper document update automatically?

No. Click Export again for the latest content to land. There is no auto-sync.

If I export the same file again, does it update the existing document or create a new one?

It creates a new one. Re-exporting the same deck adds another document to the same folder rather than updating the first one. A My Documents screen you already had open may not show it, so refresh the list. To keep the same share link and swap in fresh content, use Update a document on the document detail Content tab instead of re-exporting. Version updates work on every plan and use one upload from your monthly limit.

If I export into a folder someone invited me to, whose document is it?

A folder you joined with edit access appears in the plugin’s folder list, and a document you export there registers to the space that folder belongs to. The per-recipient link cap and the viewing analytics follow that space’s plan, not your personal plan.

Can I use it in PowerPoint for Mac?

It is a Microsoft 365 add-in, so it runs in most environments that support Microsoft 365, including the web and the Windows and Mac desktop apps. Contact your IT admin if your organization restricts add-in installs.

Can I export several presentations at once?

No. The plugin exports the one presentation you have open. Open another file and run the export again.

Is there an upload size limit? Does it read the original PPTX or the converted PDF?

The same per-plan upload limit as a direct web upload applies, and it reads the converted PDF rather than the original PPTX. The plugin converts the deck to a PDF and sends only that PDF, so an oversized PPTX still uploads when its PDF fits the limit. A small original is rejected when its converted PDF goes over. See Upload a document for the per-plan numbers.

Key points

• Install the FeatPaper add-in from Microsoft AppSource and export to FeatPaper from inside PowerPoint.
• The gate is folder edit access, not your plan. Every plan, including the free Starter plan, can use the plugin.
• The size cap reads the converted PDF, not the original PPTX.
• Re-exporting creates a second document. Use a version update to keep the same link.
