How to Convert Apple Keynote Files to PowerPoint Presentations

Apple's Keynote files are great, but what if you need to export them as PowerPoint presentations? Here's how you can do it.

Apple's Keynote app is part of their iWork suite, the equivalent of Microsoft Office for Windows devices. Several iOS users and Mac users use Keynote to create presentations. However, when you step outside of the Apple ecosystem, you'll run into compatibility issues with Keynote files.

Unfortunately, Microsoft PowerPoint doesn't have native support for Keynote files, which means you need to convert them into a compatible file format before accessing your presentations on a Windows computer or Android device. Here, we'll cover the different ways to export your Keynote files as PowerPoint presentations.

How to Convert Keynote Files to PowerPoint Presentations on iPhone & iPad

Let's start with the Keynote app for the iPhone and iPad, since many people who own them use a Windows PC too. First, make sure you have the Keynote app installed on your device and then follow the steps below to convert them to PowerPoint files:

• Open the Keynote app on your iPhone or iPad and select the presentation you want to convert.
• Tap on the More button, which is indicated with a three-dot icon.
• Next, select Export from the pop-up menu.
• Now, choose PowerPoint for the exported file format.

The Keynote app will now prompt you to share the converted presentation. You can use the iOS share sheet that shows up on your screen to either share the converted file with your contacts or save it to the Files app.

How to Convert Keynote Files to PowerPoint Presentations on a Mac

The Keynote app on the Mac functions similarly to its iOS/iPadOS version. However, due to the differences in the operating system, the steps you need to follow slightly vary. So, here's what you need to do:

• Launch the Keynote app on your Mac and open the presentation file you want to convert.
• Click on File from the menu bar and then choose Export to > PowerPoint from the dropdown menu.
• You'll have the option to add a password to your converted document. Click Next to continue.
• Select your desired name and location for the converted file and click Export .

As you can see, the procedure is pretty simple. You can now open this file in Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides and continue making changes to the presentation. Additionally, you can also choose older file formats from Advanced Options during the export to ensure the converted file is compatible with older versions of PowerPoint.

How to Convert Apple Keynote Files to PowerPoint Presentations on iCloud

Don't have access to an Apple device at the moment? No problem. You can utilize iCloud's web client to quickly access your Keynote files and convert them to PowerPoint files. All you need is an Apple account and a device with a desktop-class web browser. Follow these simple instructions:

• Visit iCloud.com using your web browser and log in with your Apple account.
• Choose Keynote from the list of apps displayed on the home page.
• Find the file you want to convert and click on the three-dots icon that shows up when you hover the cursor over it.
• Now, select Download a Copy from the context menu.
• Lastly, choose PowerPoint as the download format.

The file should now begin downloading to your device in the popular .PPT or. PPTX file format that PowerPoint uses. Don't have an Apple account either? In that case, you can use the site CloudConvert to convert your Keynote files into PowerPoint presentations.

Convert Your Keynote Presentations Into PowerPoint Files Easily

You're not limited to a single method, even if you don't have access to an Apple device. Therefore, if someone accidentally sent you a Keynote file that is unsupported on your Windows computer, you can always use iCloud or CloudConvert for file conversion.

However, if you use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, make sure to export your document in the format PowerPoint supports for better compatibility across operating systems.

Troubleshooting, how to open keynote file on windows pc with icloud.

Opening Keynote presentation files on a Windows PC can be done easily with the help of iCloud, and no document conversion or extra apps are needed. If you own or work with multiple devices and platforms and often find yourself switching between them, you may come into the scenario where you’re on a Windows PC and you need to access and open a Keynote document on that PC arriving from or created on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. This is a pretty routine scenario for many workplaces and schools, so if you find yourself needing to open, edit, and access Keynote files in Windows then you’re in the right place.

Keynote is Apple’s equivalent of the popular Microsoft PowerPoint software that’s used to create presentations by countless people across the globe today. It’s a part of the iWork productivity suite and since this software suite isn’t available for Windows devices, you may find file compatibility becomes an issue as you switch between various operating systems. However, there’s another way to open, edit and manage a Keynote presentation right on your Windows machine without even having to install any additional software and all you will need is a web browser.

If you were scrounging the internet for a proper solution, then look no further. In this article, we’ll be discussing exactly how you can open Keynote files on Windows PC using iCloud.

How to Open Keynote Files on Windows PC with iCloud

The simplest and most straightforward way to open files created using the iWork productivity suite on your Windows PC would be by using Apple’s iCloud web client. You don’t even have to install the iCloud desktop app for Windows, as we’ll be making use of your web browser instead. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the procedure.

Those are the steps necessary for opening Keynote files on your Windows laptops and desktops.

This cloud-based solution for presentations, spreadsheets, and word processing works in a similar fashion to Google Slides and the Google web-based cloud services.

From now on, you don’t have to worry about iWork compatibility issues when you’re switching between multiple devices, as iCloud.com is not only capable of opening the files, but is also  capable of converting documents to widely supported formats . Additionally, iCloud can also be used to view and edit Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, if you find Keynote’s simplistic layout more appealing.

Another option is to take action before you transfer iWork files to your Windows machine, by making sure you have a copy of the document in a Windows supported file format to avoid a similar situation. For example, you can export your Keynote presentation as a .pptx file right on your MacBook or iPad , before you even save the document.

There are many situations where you may find yourself needing to open a Keynote file from a PC, whether at work, school, home, or perhaps you have a MacBook that you use while you’re on the move but also have a Windows desktop at your home. If you’ve used Keynote to create presentations at somewhere with your macOS machine, you might run into compatibility issue if you try to open its file on a Windows PC. This is primarily due to the fact that Microsoft PowerPoint is not capable of opening .key files.

It’s unclear why Microsoft hasn’t added native support for .key files to PowerPoint yet, especially considering how PowerPoint presentations can be opened in Keynote just like any other file without any fiddling. Perhaps in the future that capability will be added natively to the Microsoft Office suite.

We hope you managed to successfully open and view your Keynote presentation on a Windows PC using iCloud. What do you think of this cloud-based solution to access iWork documents? Do you see yourself taking advantage of this functionality in the long run as you switch between multiple devices, platforms, and operating systems?

How do I open an apple keynote file in windows?

I only have the .key presentation file and cannot ask the author to export it to ppt nor do I have an Apple computer available.

There is now a keynote viewer for the browser using icloud. If you have a Apple device, you can make an icloud account, and upload the file to your account. then go to icloud's website and play it on any browser.

• 3 I think this is the best answer now. A free account at icloud.com also lets you download as PDF or PowerPoint format –  bluecoder Oct 14, 2015 at 13:23
• 2 Apple device isn´t required now. I created my iCloud account from Windows in 2 minutes and started playing and editing the keynote. –  Troglo Jul 5, 2016 at 13:53

The following websites can convert the .key to PDF online:

• https://cloudconvert.com/key-to-pdf (tested on 2019-02-01)
• http://www.zamzar.com (tested on 2013-08-15)

Also, the .key is a zip archive: if you unzip you may be able to see a thumbnail for each slide.

• 1 I prefer this solution by far since it doesn't require creating an account. –  Tripartio Oct 30, 2017 at 20:12

Since it is a proprietary format, you will need to use KeyNote to open it.

You obviously can't export the file as anything since you would need to open it first in order to export it ;-)

I know that Keynote files can be "played" in QuickTime on a Mac, but I don't know how feasible that is in Windows. Worth a try.

• 4 To play keynote files in Quicktime on windows you would first need to export them to a .mov file apparently –  nickvane Jul 18, 2011 at 10:10

Creating an apple account is free and Key note is also free to use with that on ICloud. So we just needed to go to https://www.icloud.com create a user, log in with that and we have the abilities online on the browser

How to Get Keynote on Windows? Complete User Guide!

By: Author Shrot Katewa

One of the benefits of Apple’s ecosystem is its host of apps and services. You will hear a lot of Mac users rave about the Keynote app. But, what if you are a Windows user? Or perhaps, you’ve just made a switch to a PC from a Mac (unfortunately). Can you run Keynote on Windows?

To use Keynote on Windows, you will first need to create an Apple ID, then login to your iCloud account using a web browser and click on the Keynote app. You will now be able to use Keynote through a Windows PC!

There are some caveats though. Running Keynote on a web browser has its own set of challenges. Keep on reading to find out more.

How to Get Keynote on Windows? (Step-by-Step Guide)

Keynote is a presentation app just like Microsoft’s PowerPoint. It comes free with every Mac computer. Usually, when you want to take a Keynote file and open it on Windows, you would need to convert it to a PowerPoint file.

That is because there was no native app for Keynote on Windows. That said, there is an effective and easy workaround though. Here is the good news – you can use Keynote on Windows!

The way you do it is simply by using Apple’s iWork suite for iCloud. It works very similarly to Google Docs and all you need is a web browser and an internet connection.

I will break down the steps of getting Keynote on Windows in easy-to-understand steps. Let’s get started.

Step 1 – Create an Apple ID (if you do not have one)

This is the first step in using Apple’s presentation software on Windows. You will need an Apple ID. Even if you do not have any other Apple products, you will still need it to log into iCloud. Create an Apple ID with the appropriate information. You can now use this ID to log into.

If you already have an Apple ID, you can skip this step.

Step 2 – Log in to iCloud

Next up is logging into your iCloud. You can use your Apple ID for all of Apple’s services. Use the ID to log into your iCloud account. From here you can access the Keynote web version. Fill in your ID and password and press enter.

If you do not want to type in your ID and password every time, you can check the ‘ Keep me signed in’ option.

Step 3 – Click Keynote and Start Working

After you log in, you will be taken to the iCloud homepage. Which looks something like this.

You can see all the apps you can use. These are cloud-based and synced with your ID. On the lowermost row, you will see the Keynote icon. Click that and you will be taken to the web version of the app.

That is all basically it. From here you can use Keynote on windows – at least the web version.

How to Use Keynote on Windows?

The great thing about it is just as smooth as a native application. Make sure to have a decent internet connection and a modern web browser and you are all set.

You can tap the ‘+’ button at the top to start working on a presentation . On the right of the button are your folder button, upload button, and the delete button. All the visible buttons are pretty self-explanatory.

Once you click the ‘+’ button you will come to a theme selection screen. It will look something like this.

From here, pick the theme you want and voila! You are all good to go. Then add slides, texts, effects, pictures and more.

How to Open a .key file on Windows?

If you can create Keynote presentations, it makes all the sense in the world that you should be able to open a .key file even on Windows.

The ability to open a .key file on a Windows operating system comes in really handy especially when you have received this type of file from a colleague or a client when you are using a Windows computer.

You essentially have two ways to open a .key file on Windows. Keynote saves files in the .key format.

Option 1 – Using Keynote Web

The first option is to literally open it using the way you would use Keynote on windows. You can upload .key files through the web version of Keynote. Log into your iCloud account and click on the keynote icon.

On the top bar, you will see an upload button. Click that and now you can open any .key file from your computer.

Option 2 – Converting .key file to PowerPoint

The other option is a bit cumbersome. For this, you will need to convert the .key file to PowerPoint or a .pptx file.

Both Keynote and PowerPoint are presentation software. Yet they are not totally compatible with each other since they use proprietary technology. If the first method does not work for you, you can easily use a conversion software and convert it to a format Windows will open – and that is a ppt.

It should work like a charm after you convert it. To convert you will need a converting application. They are easily available on the internet. A simple Google search will give you plenty of options.

Caveats to Using Keynote on a Browser

As you might imagine, not using an app natively can have some problems. Although the app works really well there are some minor hiccups. The only downside, some might face is lack of snappiness you might experience when using the natively.

Then there is also your internet connection. You need to have a decent enough internet speed to have a smooth and quick experience. All the transitions and effects require some bandwidth to load.

Not a major problem though. All in all, a good experience. Remember there are some other limitations though. For example, file sizes cannot exceed over 1GB.  If you plan on using images (which if you are making a presentation, you should be using anyway), they can be up to 10MB at maximum.

So, in conclusion, here are some of the caveats that you encounter when using Keynote on a Browser –

• Good Internet Connection – Using Keynote through your iCloud account on a browser is heavily dependent on a good internet connection
• File Size limit – The Keynote file cannot exceed 1 GB
• Limitation on Image Size – The size of the images used in the presentation can not exceed 10 MB
• User Experience – Some users may experience a lack of snappiness as compared to the desktop version of the application.

Keynote Alternatives for Windows

Of course, Keynote is not your only option on Windows for making a presentation. There are quite a few alternatives. Here are some of the most popular ones.

1. Microsoft PowerPoint

PowerPoint is Microsoft’s presentation software. The great thing is it is natively available for both Windows and Mac. Unlike Keynote on Windows, you do not need to use PowerPoint on a browser on Macs.

PowerPoint is one of the, if not the most popular presentation software. There are a lot of animations. You can choose from 50 animation effects. You can export PowerPoint files into different formats as well like .png or .pdf.

2. Google Slides

Google Slides is a web-based presentation software. You will be required to use it through a web browser no matter whether you are on a Mac or Windows. It does not have all the features that PowerPoint or Keynote has.

Still, it isn’t bad either. There are about 15 animations. Google Slides is great for sharing and collaborating with others though. You can even access slides offline. For that, you will need the Google Slide app from the chrome web store.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of using Google Slides is that it’s free. Keeping in line with most of Google’s services, the search giant made the service free to use just like most of its Google Drive Suite of apps.

The interface is sleek and quite intuitive to use. You cannot import videos at this moment though. YouTube video embedding is supported, however.

Final Thoughts

So, there you have it! Now you know how to get Keynote on Windows. If you are a fan of Apple’s presentation app, you can use it both on Macs and Windows now. All in all, Keynote is quite a powerful software and it’s a great thing that Windows users have a shot at using it.

How to use Keynote on Windows

Keynote is presentation design software for the Mac operating system and is used by students, professionals , and anyone who wants to produce great slideshows. It's basically Apple's version of Powerpoint and it's compatible with all Macs, as well as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. When people start using Keynote, they usually fall in love with it. 

If you use a Windows operating system, or your website needs Microsoft technologies, then choosing the best Windows Hosting providers would be a great option for you.

Have you ever wished you could use Keynote on Windows as well as Mac? I have always wanted to use Keynote on my Lenovo Ideapad but Keynote is purely an Apple product, right? I have found a great way to get Keynote to work on my Windows laptop. For me, it's really worth doing as - in my opinion - the projects created using Keynote are of better quality. Keynote is extremely user-friendly so even if you are a newbie, you can produce stunning presentations straight off the bat. So here's how to do it:

What is Keynote?

Since 2008 Apple Keynote has been included as part of the standard software package with every Mac. You can also download it for free from the App Store. Keynote is a powerful, flexible tool and you can use it for anything from a school report to a sophisticated business proposal. There's plenty of help when you want to get started . Your presentations can include text, video, images, and animations so can be as engaging as you like. You can also export your Keynote presentation to Powerpoint if you wish. Here are six key features of Keynote:

6 Key features of Keynote

Beautiful themes and templates.

Keynote comes with lots of beautifully designed templates to immediately give your presentation a professional look and feel. If you don't want to use a pre-designed template, you can create your own designs from scratch. Keynote can help with ready-to-use colour combinations, great font pairings, placeholder pictures for you to use, and other features to help with the design process.

User-Friendly Interface

As you would expect from an Apple product, Keynote's interface is intuitive and easy to use. It comes with a range of beautiful, effective designs for you to use or adapt to your requirements. Simple designs tend to work best for slideshows and presentations - these web design tips will ensure you make a great start. 

Device synchronisation

Keynote is free - you can't ask for more than that! You can also use it across a range of devices - Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc. You won't always be in front of a desktop computer or a laptop when inspiration strikes so it's great to have seamless access to design on the go...

Add live video feeds to your presentations

You can now incorporate live video from your Mac's built-in camera as well as from your iPad or iPhone. This means you can - if you wish - appear on-screen next to your slides if you are doing remote presentations. Great for if you need to deliver presentations or lectures or talks to remote audiences across the world.

Collaborative presentations

You may find that you need to deliver a presentation as part of a team. Keynote can help with this. Each presenter can now take turns managing a single deck of slides from any location using iCloud on your Mac, iPad, or iPhone. If you are presenting as part of a team, this is a game-changer. 

Keynote has introduced a powerful feature called Split View. You kind of need to see this in action to appreciate how useful it can be. Basically, you can run several applications side by side so, for example, you can run your camera in one window while your presentation runs in another. Your audience can then see you in real-time as well as follow your presentation. Alternatively, you could cross-reference between Keynote, Numbers, and Pages simultaneously using this feature. 

So now that we know some of the things that Keynote can do, how do we use it if we are Windows users ? In order to seamlessly run Keynote on Windows, you need two things:

• A modern web browser such as Google Chrome
• A decent internet connection

Follow these steps to use Keynote on Windows: 

1. Create an account on iCloud

(a.) To create an account, visit the iCloud website  

(b.) Input your Apple ID/username in the space provided in the box. If you have no Apple    

      ID/username, click on the “Create one now link to create a new ID.

(c.) Input a password

2. Login into iCloud  

    Input your login details into the box provided

3. Use Keynote on Windows via Browser

    You will be able to use Keynote on Windows by signing in with your Apple ID on iCloud.com. This is a browser-based version of Keynote that is comparable to PowerPoint Online offered by Microsoft. In addition to Keynote, iCloud provides web-based versions of their other iWork applications such as Pages and Numbers.

4. Create a new presentation on Keynote

    Upon login, four-option icons pop up. These four options include Pages, Numbers, Keynote and Settings .

(a.) When you click the Pages option you will be able to create documents using a

                  variety of templates such as CVs, reports, and business cards.

(b.) Clicking on Numbers enables you to create and manage spreadsheets.

(c.) Settings allows you to control and review your iCloud account's current settings.

To create a new presentation, click on the Keynote icon. You will be presented with tooltips that provide helpful instructions on how to use the Keynote web application. Generate a new Keynote presentation by selecting the Create Presentation option. iCloud allows you to start producing your Keynote presentation right from your browser. To begin your presentation, you will be given the choice of selecting from a variety of different templates. Both Widescreen and Standard KEY templates are included.

5. Upload and edit Keynote files

Uploading a file is as simple as dragging it into the browser. You can edit and modify the file from within your browser.

6. Save and download Keynote presentation files

Keynote presentations may be printed, downloaded as offline documents, and shared online. 

7. Present Keynote slides in Windows

Switch to Slide Show mode to play your presentation directly via your browser. This means that you can create, edit and view your presentation in Windows but also run your presentation via a Windows browser. Easy. 

Is Keynote compatible with Windows?

Yes, it is perfectly possible and very straightforward to create, edit and run Keynote presentations in Windows. 

Is Keynote better than PowerPoint?

Both Keynote and Powerpoint essentially perform the same function. If you are from a design background, you will probably appreciate Keynote's excellent graphic design features . Whether you prefer Powerpoint or Keynote will come down to your personal preferences.

Keynote allows you to create beautifully designed slides and animations with lovely cinematic transitions and impressive effects. It's a great tool for creating professional presentations. If you are a Windows user, you now have access to Keynote. It's always good to have a choice!

Using Keynote without iCloud

I have Keynote loaded on my iPad (6th Gen) & presentations within Keynote however, every time I want to access a presentation, it has to download from iCloud which is really annoying for the larger presentations.

Is there a way I can have the Presentation stay "alive" without having to download it each time.

I have tried to create a PDF of the document however, it isnt as interactive as the Keynote Presentation itself.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who may be able to assist. Thanks,

Hey there Collee,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand your Keynote is having to load from iCloud every time you want to use it. I’ll be happy to help with this.

It sounds like Keynote is saving the presentations onto iCloud Drive. In this case, you may want to open Files and move the presentation from iCloud Drive to the ‘On My iPad’ location. This way it loads directly from your device and not iCloud. Take a look at these articles for info on how to do this and see if this helps at all:

ChatGPT arriving on the Mac in new desktop app from OpenAI ahead of WWDC

Today at OpenAI’s spring update keynote , the company announced that ChatGPT would soon become more easily accessible thanks to a brand new desktop app launching on the Mac.

New Mac app makes ChatGPT more accessible for users

Apple and OpenAI were recently rumored to be striking a partnership ahead of WWDC. This partnership would bring ChatGPT to iOS 18 as a built-in, system-integrated chatbot option.

Ahead of that partnership, OpenAI has announced its own first-party ChatGPT app coming to the Mac. The app is designed to make ChatGPT more easily accessible and perpetually available for users. A very brief preview of the app was shown during the presentation, but more details were shared in a press release .

For both free and paid users, we’re also launching a new ChatGPT desktop app for macOS that is designed to integrate seamlessly into anything you’re doing on your computer. With a simple keyboard shortcut (Option + Space), you can instantly ask ChatGPT a question. You can also take and discuss screenshots directly in the app. You can now have voice conversations with ChatGPT directly from your computer, starting with Voice Mode that has been available in ChatGPT at launch, with GPT-4o’s new audio and video capabilities coming in the future. Whether you want to brainstorm a new idea for your company, prepare for an interview or have a topic you’d like to discuss, tap the headphone icon in the bottom right corner of the desktop app to start a voice conversation. 

ChatGPT for Mac is rolling out today to Plus users, and will come to all free GPT users in the weeks ahead. A Windows app is also planned for later this year.

It’s always great to have a new first-party Mac app debut. I always prefer a native app experience over using a web app, and that will be no different with ChatGPT.

Previously, Mac users were limited to using ChatGPT via the web client or a third-party app. For almost a year OpenAI has offered an iPhone app for ChatGPT , but it was unknown whether the AI-powered service would ever receive a dedicated app for the Mac. It’s great to see that change today ahead of hopefully more OpenAI-related Apple news in the weeks ahead.

Ryan got his start in journalism as an Editor at MacStories, where he worked for four years covering Apple news, writing app reviews, and more. For two years he co-hosted the Adapt podcast on Relay FM, which focused entirely on the iPad. As a result, it should come as no surprise that his favorite Apple device is the iPad Pro.

How to download all of your photos from iCloud

After shooting high-quality photos and videos on your iPhone 15 Pro Max , you may resort to iCloud to back them up. After all, this cloud storage service is baked into iOS 17 and works automatically in the background. However, some users may eventually move on to a new cloud service. In this case, they would first need to download all their photos and videos from iCloud and then upload them to the alternative. If you're not sure how to download your media from iCloud, you can follow the steps in this guide.

How to import photos from iPhone to Mac using a USB cable, iCloud, or AirDrop

What you need to download photos from the icloud web client.

It may be possible to download photos from iCloud through the Photos app on an Apple device, but that's not always feasible. In this case, you could download photos and videos from the iCloud web client using a browser. Any device that can connect to the internet and load up the iCloud web client, such as a new laptop , can download photos and videos stored there.

How to download your photos from the iCloud web client

Since iCloud won't let you download more than 1,000 photos or videos at a time, you'll have to select about a thousand at a time. Though you can manually select them, downloading more than 1,000 photos or videos is a more efficient way. And if you have less than 1,000 photos on iCloud, we've highlighted an even simpler method below.

1. Open iCloud.com and sign in with your Apple ID and password.

2. Click the Photos app .

3. Hold and drag your cursor to select multiple photos and videos at once. Keep an eye on the total count in the screen's top right corner to ensure you're not selecting more than 1,000 photos. If you have less than 1,000 photos, you could use the keyboard shortcut Command + A on Mac and Control + A on Windows to select all the images and save time.

4. Click the download button in the top right corner of the window.

5. Follow the on-screen prompts to authorize the download.

6. Look for a folder or zipped file in your download folder titled iCloud Photos .

7. Repeat the above steps until you have downloaded all the photos and videos from your library.

How to export all iCloud photos to a computer

If you're bothered by the 1,000 photo limitation, you could alternatively import your entire iCloud photo library from an iPhone or iPad to your computer.

1. Go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad.

2. Scroll down and enter the Photos section.

3. Tap on Download and Keep Originals . This will then download the full-quality photos and videos from iCloud to your iDevice, assuming you have sufficient local storage.

4. You will then need to export your photo library to your Mac or Windows computer using the steps in the respective guide.

Why you may want to download photos from iCloud

Many people load photos and videos to the cloud since they won't have to worry about using up on-device storage, so why would you want to download them again? You might want to download media from iCloud for a few reasons, but it generally comes down to sharing and security. Downloading from iCloud is essential if you want to share a photo or video without having to deal with a sharing link or download link, and it can also help you get better quality out of your media. Plus, saving photos and videos on a physical storage device in addition to iCloud can be a good idea so that you're protected if you can't get into your iCloud account in the future.

What's next for your download

Apple lets you download your photos immediately — albeit only 1,000 at a time — so you don't have to wait for a download link. However, downloading a lot of photos and videos or ones with large file sizes may take a while. If the 1,000 photo limitation is a deal-breaker for you, then you could use the other method we've highlighted and export them to your computer. After the download or import process concludes, you can share these photos and videos as needed.

PRESS RELEASE

Featuring a new thin and light design, breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display, and outrageously fast M4 performance with powerful AI capabilities, the new iPad Pro takes a huge leap forward

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today unveiled the groundbreaking new iPad Pro in a stunningly thin and light design, taking portability and performance to the next level. Available in silver and space black finishes, the new iPad Pro comes in two sizes: an expansive 13-inch model and a super-portable 11-inch model. Both sizes feature the world’s most advanced display — a new breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display with state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology — providing a remarkable visual experience. The new iPad Pro is made possible with the new M4 chip, the next generation of Apple silicon, which delivers a huge leap in performance and capabilities. M4 features an entirely new display engine to enable the precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. With a new CPU, a next-generation GPU that builds upon the GPU architecture debuted on M3, and the most powerful Neural Engine yet, the new iPad Pro is an outrageously powerful device for artificial intelligence. The versatility and advanced capabilities of iPad Pro are also enhanced with all-new accessories. Apple Pencil Pro brings powerful new interactions that take the pencil experience even further, and a new thinner, lighter Magic Keyboard is packed with incredible features. The new iPad Pro, Apple Pencil Pro, and Magic Keyboard are available to order starting today, with availability in stores beginning Wednesday, May 15.

“iPad Pro empowers a broad set of pros and is perfect for anyone who wants the ultimate iPad experience — with its combination of the world’s best displays, extraordinary performance of our latest M-series chips, and advanced accessories — all in a portable design. Today, we’re taking it even further with the new, stunningly thin and light iPad Pro, our biggest update ever to iPad Pro,” said John Ternus, Apple’s senior vice president of Hardware Engineering. “With the breakthrough Ultra Retina XDR display, the next-level performance of M4, incredible AI capabilities, and support for the all-new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard, there’s no device like the new iPad Pro.”

The new iPad Pro — the thinnest Apple product ever — features a stunningly thin and light design, taking portability to a whole new level. The 11-inch model is just 5.3 mm thin, and the 13-inch model is even thinner at a striking 5.1 mm, while both models are just as strong as the previous design. The 11-inch model weighs less than a pound, and the 13-inch model is nearly a quarter pound lighter than its predecessor — allowing pro users to extend their workflows in new ways and in more places. The new iPad Pro is available in two gorgeous finishes — silver and space black — both with 100 percent recycled aluminum enclosures.

The new iPad Pro debuts the Ultra Retina XDR, the world’s most advanced display, to provide an even more remarkable visual experience. The Ultra Retina XDR display features state-of-the-art tandem OLED technology that uses two OLED panels and combines the light from both to provide phenomenal full-screen brightness. The new iPad Pro supports an incredible 1000 nits of full-screen brightness for SDR and HDR content, and 1600 nits peak for HDR. No other device of its kind delivers this level of extreme dynamic range. Tandem OLED technology enables sub-millisecond control over the color and luminance of each pixel, taking XDR precision further than ever. Specular highlights in photos and video appear even brighter, and there’s more detail in shadows and low light than ever before on iPad — all while delivering even more responsiveness to content in motion. For pro users working in high-end, color-managed workflows or challenging lighting conditions, a new nano-texture glass option comes to iPad Pro for the first time. 1 Nano-texture glass is precisely etched at a nanometer scale, maintaining image quality and contrast while scattering ambient light for reduced glare. With its breakthrough tandem OLED technology, extreme brightness, incredibly precise contrast, brilliant colors, and nano-texture glass option, the new Ultra Retina XDR display is the world’s most advanced display, giving iPad Pro customers an unparalleled viewing experience.

The incredibly thin and light design and game-changing display of the new iPad Pro is only possible with M4, the next generation of Apple silicon that delivers a huge leap in performance. M4 is built on second-generation 3-nanometer technology that’s even more power efficient, which is perfect for the design of the new iPad Pro. With an entirely new display engine, M4 introduces pioneering technology for the stunning precision, color, and brightness of the Ultra Retina XDR display. The new CPU offers up to four performance cores and now six efficiency cores, 2 with next-generation machine learning (ML) accelerators, to deliver up to 1.5x faster CPU performance over M2 in the previous-generation iPad Pro. 3 M4 builds on the GPU architecture of M3 — the 10-core GPU includes powerful features like Dynamic Caching, and hardware-accelerated mesh shading and ray tracing, which come to iPad for the first time. Coupled with higher unified memory bandwidth, pro rendering apps like Octane will see up to 4x faster performance than M2. 3 M4 also delivers tremendous gains and industry-leading performance per watt. Compared to M2, M4 can deliver the same performance using just half the power, and compared to the latest PC chip in a thin and light laptop, M4 can deliver the same performance using just a quarter of the power. 4 A new advanced Media Engine includes support for AV1 decode, providing more power-efficient playback of high-resolution video experiences from streaming services.

The new iPad Pro with M4 features Apple’s most powerful Neural Engine ever, capable of 38 trillion operations per second, which is 60x faster than Apple’s first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic chip. Combined with next-generation ML accelerators in the CPU, a high-performance GPU, more memory bandwidth, and intelligent features and powerful developer frameworks in iPadOS, the Neural Engine makes the new iPad Pro an outrageously powerful device for AI. With iPad Pro with M4, users can perform AI-enabled tasks even faster, like easily isolate a subject from its background in 4K video with just a tap with Scene Removal Mask in Final Cut Pro. With this advanced level of performance, the Neural Engine in M4 is more powerful than any neural processing unit in any AI PC today.

iPadOS also has advanced frameworks like Core ML that make it easy for developers to tap into the Neural Engine to deliver phenomenal AI features locally, including running powerful diffusion and generative AI models, with great performance on device. iPad Pro also supports cloud-based solutions, enabling users to run powerful productivity and creative apps that tap into the power of AI, such as Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Adobe Firefly.

The updated camera system on the new iPad Pro delivers even more versatility, and with its rich audio from four studio-quality mics, users can shoot, edit, and share all on one device. The 12MP back camera captures vibrant Smart HDR images and video with even better color, improved textures, and detail in low light. It also now features a new adaptive True Tone flash that makes document scanning on the new iPad Pro better than ever. Using AI, the new iPad Pro automatically identifies documents right in the Camera app, and if a shadow is in the way, it instantly takes multiple photos with the new adaptive flash, stitching the scan together for a dramatically better scan.

On the front, the TrueDepth camera system moves to the landscape location on the new iPad Pro. The Ultra Wide 12MP camera with Center Stage makes the experience of video conferencing in landscape orientation even better, especially when iPad is attached to a Magic Keyboard or Smart Folio.

iPad Pro includes a high-performance USB-C connector with support for Thunderbolt 3 and USB 4, delivering fast wired connectivity — up to 40Gb/s. Thunderbolt supports an extensive ecosystem of high-performance accessories, including external displays like the Pro Display XDR at its full 6K resolution, and external storage, all connected using high-performance cables and docks. iPad Pro supports Wi-Fi 6E for super-fast Wi-Fi connections for pro workflows on the go. Wi-Fi + Cellular models with 5G allow users to access their files, communicate with colleagues, and back up their data in a snap while on the go. Cellular models of the new iPad Pro are activated with eSIM, a more secure alternative to a physical SIM card, allowing users to quickly connect and transfer their existing plans digitally, and store multiple cellular plans on a single device. Customers can easily get connected to wireless data plans on the new iPad Pro in over 190 countries and regions around the world without needing to get a physical SIM card from a local carrier.

Apple Pencil Pro features even more magical capabilities and powerful new interactions that take the Apple Pencil experience even further. A new sensor in the barrel can sense a user’s squeeze, bringing up a tool palette to quickly switch tools, line weights, and colors, all without interrupting the creative process. A custom haptic engine delivers a light tap that provides confirmation when users squeeze, use double-tap, or snap to a Smart Shape for a remarkably intuitive experience. A gyroscope allows users to roll Apple Pencil Pro for precise control of the tool they’re using. Rotating the barrel changes the orientation of shaped pen and brush tools, just like pen and paper. And with Apple Pencil hover, users can visualize the exact orientation of a tool before making a mark.

With these advanced features, Apple Pencil Pro allows users to bring their ideas to life in entirely new ways, and developers can also create their own custom interactions. Apple Pencil Pro brings support for Find My for the first time to Apple Pencil, helping users locate Apple Pencil Pro if misplaced. It pairs, charges, and is stored on the side of iPad Pro through a new magnetic interface. iPad Pro also supports Apple Pencil (USB-C), ideal for note taking, sketching, annotating, journaling, and more, at an incredible value.

Designed for the new iPad Pro, an all-new thinner and lighter Magic Keyboard makes it more portable and versatile than ever. The new Magic Keyboard opens to the magical floating design that customers love, and now includes a function row for access to features like screen brightness and volume controls. It also has a gorgeous aluminum palm rest and larger trackpad that’s even more responsive with haptic feedback, so the entire experience feels just like using a MacBook. The new Magic Keyboard attaches magnetically, and the Smart Connector immediately connects power and data without the need for Bluetooth. The machined aluminum hinge also includes a USB-C connector for charging. The new Magic Keyboard comes in two colors that perfectly complement the new iPad Pro: black with a space black aluminum palm rest, and white with a silver aluminum palm rest.

The new Smart Folio for iPad Pro attaches magnetically and now supports multiple viewing angles for greater flexibility. Available in black, white, and denim, it complements the colors of the new iPad Pro.

iPadOS is packed with features that push the boundaries of what’s possible on iPad. With Reference Mode, iPadOS can precisely match color requirements of the Ultra Retina XDR display for tasks in which accurate colors and consistent image quality are critical — including review and approve, color grading, and compositing. Stage Manager enables users to work with multiple overlapping windows in a single view, resize windows, tap to switch between apps, and more. With full external display support of up to 6K, iPad Pro users can also extend their workflow, as well as use the built-in camera on an external display for enhanced video conferencing. Users can take advantage of the powerful AI capabilities in iPad Pro and intelligent features in iPadOS, including Visual Look Up, Subject Lift, Live Text, or Live Captions and Personal Voice for accessibility.

With iPadOS 17 , users can customize the Lock Screen to make it more personal — taking advantage of the larger display on iPad — and interactive widgets take glanceable information further with the ability to get tasks done right in the moment with just a tap. The Notes app gives users new ways to organize, read, annotate, and collaborate on PDFs, and working with PDFs is also easier with AutoFill, which intelligently identifies and fills fields in forms.

Logic Pro for iPad 2 , available starting Monday, May 13, introduces incredible studio assistant features that augment the music-making process and provide artists help right when they need it — all while ensuring they maintain full creative control. These features include Session Players, which expand on popular Drummer capabilities in Logic to include a new Bass Player and Keyboard Player; ChromaGlow, to instantly add warmth to tracks; and Stem Splitter, to extract and work with individual parts of a single audio recording.

Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 , available later this spring, introduces Live Multicam, a new feature that transforms iPad into a mobile production studio, allowing users to view and control up to four connected iPhone and iPad devices wirelessly. 5 To support Live Multicam, an all-new capture app also comes to iPad and iPhone, Final Cut Camera, 6 giving users control over options like white balance, ISO, and shutter speed, along with monitoring tools like overexposure indicators and focus peaking. Final Cut Camera works as a standalone capture app or with Live Multicam. Final Cut Pro for iPad 2 also allows users to create or open projects from external storage, giving editors even more flexibility, and offers new content options. 7

The new iPad Pro is designed with the environment in mind, including 100 percent recycled aluminum in the enclosure, 100 percent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 percent recycled gold plating and tin soldering in multiple printed circuit boards. The new iPad Pro meets Apple’s high standards for energy efficiency, and is free of mercury, brominated flame retardants, and PVC. The packaging is 100 percent fiber-based, bringing Apple closer to its goal to remove plastic from all packaging by 2025.

Today, Apple is carbon neutral for global corporate operations, and by 2030, plans to be carbon neutral across the entire manufacturing supply chain and life cycle of every product.
