Four formats, and a short guide to which one you actually want depending on who is receiving it.

16/9Which format, and why
PDF for sending
The default and usually the right answer. The PDF is rendered by the same engine that draws the deck on screen, in one pass, so what the recipient opens is what you saw — no reflowed text, no substituted font.
PPTX for the colleague who will edit it
Use it when somebody needs to change a line before presenting. Expect the usual caveats of moving between rendering engines: complex layouts survive, exotic ones may need a nudge on the other side.
PNG and SVG for a single slide
When one slide needs to go into a document, a post or another deck. SVG stays sharp at any size; PNG is the safe choice when the destination is fussy about vectors.

FAQ
Can it export to Google Slides?
Not directly. Export PPTX and import that.
Why does the PDF match so exactly?
Because it is printed from the same renderer that draws the editor, rather than being rebuilt from a second layout model.
Can I export one slide?
Yes — PNG or SVG.
