With Prezi, you can create and share presentations online that aren't limited by features available in Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint. However, you generally need an internet connection to use and save a Prezi to the cloud. This wikiHow will teach you how you can save a Prezi to your computer so you can use it without connection to the internet.
Steps
-
1Go to https://prezi.com. You can use any web browser to save a Prezi to your local computer.
-
2Sign in or create an account. If you're signing up to use Prezi for the first time, you get a 7-Day free trial.
- You need a paid account in order to use the Prezi desktop app and download a Prezi to your computer.
- Click Get Started or log in to continue.

- A free, or basic, account cannot download or use the Prezi desktop application.

- Located above your Prezi, on the left side of the screen, is a cloud icon. A check mark inside the cloud icon means your presentation has been saved. A rotating circle of arrows means it is currently saving. To force a cloud-save, go to ☰ > Save.
