Saving Custom Designs in Google Slides as Vectors

If you created a custom design element in your Google Slides project and want to export it, follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to your project and duplicate it

Find and open the project that you wish to extract the graphics from and make a copy, choosing to copy the entire presentation or only selected slides. By duplicating your project, you won’t worry about disturbing your original version.

2. Create a blank slide for your images

Insert a new slide and place it at the top of your other slides. This slide will hold all of the images that will be exported to avoid confusion about already-exported graphics.

Delete the extra content and slides that you don’t want to export so that there is only one slide. By having only one slide, you can reduce the file size that is exported, allowing you to preserve valuable space on your computer.
