Create handouts: print your prezi

Use the “Print” option in the middle of the editor screen to create handouts for your audience. In PreziDesktop, there is a "print" option in your window menu bar as well under “File”. When you click Print, your prezi will be converted to a PDF document, where every path step will be one document page. The exported PDF will also include an overview page of your whole prezi.

Plug into a projector: steps to follow

If using a projector to show your prezi, note that the screen resolution will change once the projector is plugged in. Therefore, it's best to resize your downloaded prezi or browser window before plugging in the projector. Once you have projected your prezi, click Fullscreen to maximize the viewing experience. You can also plan ahead while creating your prezi. Most laptops are wide screen, but most projectors use the 4:3 aspect ratio. Hold down shift while drawing a frame (bracket or rectangular) to keep the ratio at 4:3 - so you can see exactly how prezi will appear on a projector.

Reuse content from slides: screenshot

When you want to reuse the content from slides in a prezi and you don’t have access to the original artwork or data, you can take a screenshot of part of the slide. On a Mac, use the Command+Shift+4 to select a section of the screen. The resulting file will be placed on your desktop as a .png file and can be uploaded to your prezi via Insert/Load File. On a PC, use the Alt+PrintScreen and the Snipping Tool.
