Data Transfer Guide
Tome doesn't offer direct export to Beautiful.ai format. Export presentations as PowerPoint files from Tome's export menu. These PPTX files provide editable content structure. In Beautiful.ai, create new presentations using smart templates that match your content types. Copy text from PowerPoint slides into Beautiful.ai's text boxes, allowing the design engine to format automatically. For images, download from Tome and upload to Beautiful.ai's media library. Videos and 3D models require re-embedding using original URLs. Consider this a recreation process rather than direct transfer, focusing on content preservation while embracing Beautiful.ai's design automation.
