Good to know
Image slides convert perfectly. Editable decks may need small layout fixes after conversion.
The extension creates files on your computer. It does not sign in to Keynote, and nothing is sent to Keynote until you import the file yourself.
Free or Pro?
The basics are free; the advanced options listed on this page need Ultra Exporter Pro. Pro covers the extension only; it does not include a Google subscription or raise NotebookLM's own limits. Current prices are on the pricing page.
Frequently asked questions
Does NotebookLM have a built-in Keynote integration?
No. Gemini Notebook has no built-in connection to Keynote. The working route is a file: export from NotebookLM in a format Keynote reads (PowerPoint, Editable PowerPoint (Pro)), then import or open it there.
Is there a direct Keynote export?
No. PowerPoint is the exchange format, and Keynote reads it natively.
Does my content pass through a server on its way to Keynote?
No. Files are converted in your browser and saved to your downloads folder. You move them into the other app yourself.
