Resolution conversion to powerpoint
under review
Felipe de Montagut
Hey, plugin is awesome! The only thing I found is that resolution output is not converted properly. I know is a pain as powerpoint uses cm or inches and not pixels.
When I export an HD frame (1280x720) I am getting a slide which is size 45.16 cm x 25.4 cm. As per documentation, the size should be 33.867 x 19.05.
1 px = 0,026458333 cm as per the following publication: https://support.databeat.net/en/change-resolution-in-powerpoint. Thanks!

Hi Johny,
If it helps, I have had this issue pretty consistent using the plugin conversion in Windows (no matter which screen resolution) in an imac (27 5K) and in a MBP. I am using all the time Chrome as the browser. My workaround is that I use a frame in Figma of size 960 x 540 and this turns into a ppt slide of 33. x 19.05 (what PPT says is 1280x720). The result is that objects which are converted as images are not with same pixel resolution on the ppt. Font objects are converted as the same font size so the aspect ratio of paragraphs and titles are slightly different

Digging into this issue, I was able to find that this problem is specific to user's computer resolution settings. Not all users face this issue (including me) 🤯

Jinson Johny I also have this issue - I have to set my Figma canvases to 960x540 for the font sizes to match. However, if I export a ppt slide as SVG and import that into Figma, the canvas is 1280x720. It's workable, but somewhat strange.
What is the computer resolution setting I need to change?
