10. Export Slide Deck Content Constraints
While exporting GitPitch slide decks to PDF and PPTX delivers pixel-perfect rendering inside PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides there are a number of limitations on the types of content that can be exported.
PDF export constraints:
- Video and Asciinema playback is disabled on export.
- Animated GIFs are exported as a single static image.
- Speaker notes are disabled on export.
PPTX export constraints:
- Video and Asciinema playback is disabled on export.
- Animated GIFs are exported as a single static image.
- Hypertext links are disabled on export.

While these content types are disabled on export, you can open and edit generated PPTX files within PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides to update your slide deck content if needed.
For example, you could add a dedicated slide at the end of your PowerPoint deck that includes active links to related content.
