I’m also looking for an easy way to IMPORT google slides (which have embedded Figma files) into my Figma presentation. Any ideas how to do this? I can only find tutorials on importing Figma files into google slides.
I haven’t found this question yet - I have an older google slide deck (with Figma animations) that I’d like to include in Figma Slides.
I’d like to bring all the content, including transitions and embedded Figma animations into Figma Slides. At a bar minimum I want to bring the Figma animation from gSlides to Figma Slides. Any ideas?
Hey All, thanks for the feedback!
We’ll pass this onto the Slides team for future consideration. Be sure to vote up top as well! 👆

The teams at my company are interested in moving towards Figma Slides. This is a big transition as an organization and a built in slide deck importer would be HUGE in getting senior members of our team to transition to Figma Slides
Enterprise user here, just wanted to +1 this. Ability to import keynote/ppt files is critical for us to consider adaption.
Hack here in the meantime:
I am pretty sure it is about Pitchdeck Presentation Studio Plugin. :) @Ashu Sirswa
I’ve been making dashboards in Figma and found a simple workaround by copying data from my Excel Templates and Spreadsheets directly into text fields, but it gets messy real fast. Having a way to link or import a CSV would save so much time and just keep everything cleaner. Would also love native charts that update when info changes—would make planning and presenting way smoother.
I would like to bump this again to top of a wish list and the main reason I am not using Figma slides.
I have to use google slides because currently it is the only ne that supports linking to sheets and updating live tables not just charts. In terms of integrating into Figma I think google sheets, or airtable is most realistic as it tends to be easiest to integrate and more convenient than juggling multiple csv files for the most part ( unless the tool can manage folders well) but a live link to a spreadsheet is always better. what nice about Figma slides is it is more tailored to how people are actually using these programs whereas keynote and google still assume you are making powerpoint when many people using them to build brand decks etc regardless of if its the best program for that or not and I really don’t like google slides for that purpose unless its very basic.
Figma already has this with a plugin “Google Sheets Sync” https://docs.sheetssync.app . I haven't been able to get it to work but examples I’ve seen of how it should looks really great. I would prefer more function and a bit more of menu item UI rather than having to open it each time but the function is there and in a way most programs don’t offer at all. Data merge options are too broad and still in the land of envelope printing or one page per record which is only one use case an don't the most common need I would say for decks. charts is all fine and well but sometimes you want connection to real records and ability to create cards or design blocks of your info with images and not have it look terrible. Google slides can link to a table but that still only leaves just a list view of items and no image support and really really bad design support . this is still only available option for any slide builder type program and strong enough need for my team that I can’t move out of it until I have at least the same option. Google Synch to Figma plugin supposedly answers this but it is not available for slides at all.
This feature would make Figma slides hands down way more appealing than anything else as it has superior design function but that doesn’t overtake connection to live data and ease of creation connected to a spreadsheet or Airtable. Another great example is an Indesign Plugin called EasyCatalog. The way this handles data management and can be dragged and dropped into tables or just placeholder groups is fantastic and would be truly incredible function to have in a builder like Figma slides
