# Convert Google Slides Decks to PowerPoint Online Files

> Download a Google Slides Pear Deck as a PowerPoint file and upload it to Microsoft OneDrive for use with PowerPoint Online

If you are switching from a Google account to a Microsoft Office 365 account, you can transfer your Pear Deck presentations by downloading them as PowerPoint files and re-uploading them to OneDrive. The slide content moves over intact, but interactive Pear Deck questions must be re-added in PowerPoint Online after the transfer.

## Download Your Google Slides Deck

1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.

2. Select **File** > **Download** > **Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)**.

3. Verify the result: a `.pptx` file saves to your computer's default download location.

## Upload the File to OneDrive

1. Sign in to your Microsoft Office 365 account and open OneDrive.

2. Click **+ Add New** > **Files Upload**.

3. Select the `.pptx` file you downloaded and click **Open**.

4. Verify the result: the file appears in your OneDrive file list.

## Re-Add Interactive Questions

1. Open the uploaded presentation in PowerPoint Online.

2. Open the Pear Deck Add-in by selecting **Home** > **More Options** (three-dot menu) > **Pear Deck**.

3. In the Pear Deck sidebar, select **Ask Students a Question** and add your interactive questions to each slide.

4. Verify the result: each slide that needs student interaction shows a Pear Deck question type in the sidebar.

<Note>
  Interactive Pear Deck components (such as draggable, drawing, and multiple-choice questions) cannot be transferred between Google Slides and PowerPoint Online. The main slide content (text, images, and layout) carries over automatically. You must re-add all interactive questions in the new editor.
