Import and export

The APIs below need a conversion backend. Follow file exchange integration to connect uploads, conversion, task queries, and downloads, then configure the browser plugins. Snapshot APIs also need that backend, but do not require a collaborative document. The collaboration Exchange example demonstrates Sheets; check that your target release supports the file types you need.

Supported formats

The table describes the browser APIs on this page. Office file conversion requires a backend that supports the same document type and format.

Both .ppt and .pptx use the import APIs below. Export produces .pptx. The browser API does not accept .pptm, .ppsx, .ppsm, or .potx; backend format support alone does not enable them in the browser.

Facade API

Import the facade package once in plugin mode:

import '@univerjs-pro/exchange-client/facade'import '@univerjs-pro/slides-exchange-client/facade'

Import a PPTX into a server-side unit:

const unitId = await univerAPI.importSlideToUnitIdAsync(file)

Import a PPTX as local slide data:

const slideData = await univerAPI.importSlideToSnapshotAsync(file)if (slideData) {  univerAPI.createPresentation(slideData)}

Export the current slide deck:

const presentation = univerAPI.getActivePresentation()const file = await univerAPI.exportSlideBySnapshotAsync(presentation.save())

Export a server-side slide unit:

const file = await univerAPI.exportSlideByUnitIdAsync(unitId)
