Prezi Next Desktop Download
Deidra Mehis
I am looking for a bit of help, i have a presentation tomorrow and Prezi next desktop app will not install. I have used it previously but formatted the computer a while ago and have just tried to install prezi next app.
I had to use the online version for my presentation which was problematic due to buffering of images etc so not very happy with the fact i have paid the months subscription to do a presentation where i had to use the free option anyway. How do i find out about a refund as my presentation is done now and have no plans for anymore in the next 6 months.
I waited, but nothing. I had to force exit is just pray it did not loose my work. My laptop is connected to my network with ethernet directly to a very fast service. My connectivity and laptop performance is healthy. This is frustrating as these prezi editor bugs are distracting and continue to get in my way.
I have been a user of Prezi classic on and off over the past few years, i have noticed that Prezi Next is the new version being pushed. One of my main requirements is to create and store prezis locally, is this possible with prezi next and if not what licence or version do i need in order to do this?
First I am looking into upgrading my account to be able to use the desktop software. In order for me to use Prezi I need to know that if the presentation is started on my local computer, will it stay local?
Also, can I start a presentation on the desktop software? Simple questions that a phone call could handle about your product before I spend money. Seems backwards to spend money to ask the questions to find out the software cant do what you want. Very uninformed buyer here.
Until then I could suggest a workaround for you: create the presentation in the desktop application without connecting to the internet and then export the presentation for offline use. Before connecting to the internet, delete the presentation from the desktop application. This way you will have the offline standalone presentation which you can present (not edit) and nothing will be synced to our servers.
I never got back to this thread, but should have done so. The issue was solved quite some time ago with a new version of the Prezi Next desktop app. Thank you @Catarina and the Prezi team for continued support.
Prezi Next also has a desktop application for editing your presentations on your PC or Mac. the biggest difference compared to Classic is that there is no downloadable .pez file. The Next application must always be synced with your online account. You can edit presentation offline, but the app will need internet connection to save the changes or load Prezis from your account.
Hallo
we are not interested in the Prezi online features as we require offline-only presentations that, if needed, will be distributed through our own servers (interactive + static pdf ) or emails (static pdf or other format)
Can we buy Prize only for offline usage? In other words if we buy a subscription lets say a Plus, can we still use the Prezi desktop app and produce/distribute presentations offline once the subscription expires?
Aka is the annual subscription fee the price for the software like with Powerpoint or other desktop product versions?
Thanks in advance

OK, I now have waited more than a year for a feature that many people Need (I say Need, not wish!). Due to company restrictions I have to use local only presentations (unless they are held in a public audience) and hence I am still on prezi classic.
Since I have waited so long without any result and my confidence in Prezi Classic surviving the next year is close to Zero, I will start searching alternatives now and very likely not prolong my license in the next licensing period.
Just signed up for another year prezi account and by (forced) upgrade to prezi next i discoverd that the local storage is not available anymore. Eventually some investigation leads that about two years the first post/request for local storage (as in prezi classic) was suggested. seems like prezi does not seem to care about this? So unfortunately i send a refund request and wil unsubscribe my account due confidentally reasons of my company.
The desktop application is only available for users with Plus or higher license. That said, you can sign up for a free trial and try the desktop application during this period. You can download it from this link.
If you would like to deliver a presentation to a computer that is completely offline, you can first download the desktop application to a different computer (with internet connection), log in with a Plus or a Premium license and download a portable presentation, which you can later export to a USB drive.
Hi Vanda, I have the Prezi Next Edu basic, the presentation online works well,
but anyhow I can not open Prezi Next Edu basic in the desktop app
They always ask to upgrade the basic plan.
Is that the only way?
thank you
Hi, I just made my account to make presentation.
My plan is EDU Standard so, I hope I could make presentation.
I downloaded Prezi next app but was not able to log in.
It was said for my license I am not able to use.
could anyone help me?
Hi @Hesham_Refat, I have merged your comment into the relevant topic.
Please note, that the Prezi Next desktop application is only available starting from the Edu Plus or Plus licenses.
Hope this helps!
I have an issue with syncing in the app. I have to prezis that are not particulary big and a stable internet connection but the content of the prezis I cannot download. Can this be a corporate firewall issue? Any others that experience the same issue?
The workaround I found was to copy and paste between presentations in my browser and not use the desktop app. When I opened the presentation the item in the library appeared as expected and I was able to import. I avoid the editing the the browser due to performance problems, especially when opening multiple presentations.
These folders are the locations where the presentations are stored. If you have everything synced to your cloud, you can delete it, but next time when you open the desktop application, it is going to start to download the content automatically.
Hello @Abdelaziz_Sharaf, @Johannes_Radinger, Prezi Next Desktop currently does not support the Linux operating system unfortunately. However, you may be able to succeed in running the desktop application by emulating Windows within your Linux system or by using an application such as Wine. Please note these are not solutions that have been tested and approved by the Prezi team. Therefore, we do not recommend them or offer any advice on using them at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience.
I can confirm this issue. PDFs with transparent background work in Prezi desktop and exported PDFs, but a white background in WIN executables (Prezi 1.6.0.0).

As a supplement: even the Prezi desktop symbols (stored in \AppData\Local\PreziPitch\app-1.6.0.2\editor\resources\symbols\graphics) forfeit their transparency if inserted as image file, whereas the same file dragged and dropped via the editor (here: icons & symbols for dark prezis) holds its transparency in WIN executables.
Hello Bart!
Same thing here - I have some old prezis (lectures, even one whole course) I would like to use in Prezi next or at least to use / convert them to next to use them also in future!
Thank you!
Hi,
I understand that Prezi Next Desktop App automatically downloads each and every presentation I have on my cloud space.
This is really unnecessary, since many Prezis are historical ones on which I am not working any longer, but still need to be on cloud.
There are several drawbacks to this design of the desktop app, the main one being that, as you produce more and more Prezis, you fill up your local drive with all of them, and they take a lot of space.
So I am suggesting and asking for the following feature:
Please implement a way to separate the Prezis that are synchronized on the Prezi Next Desktop App, from those who will only stay on the cloud.
Thanks a lot!

So my workaround is to run the Prezi desktop editor on my laptop screen only. However, when I click present the on my laptop screen the editor tosses the presentation over to the 2nd monitor, the ultrawide screen. In this scenario the Prezi desktop program will consistently crash as soon as the presentation tries to appear. As a workaround, I would like to tell Prezi desktop to not try to present to the second monitor. but there is no control for that.
When I open my prezi next application and try to log in , it says unable to connect to internet. I have allowed all the pop ups and security permission that i knew still not able to login to my prezi next application on my computer
may I please ask if there is any possibility to sync my presentations manually besides clicking on the cloud od the right bottom? I have made some important changes online in my prezies and prezi next says edited 22 minutes ago and ignore my changes I made just a few minutes ago.
Could you please let me know the title of your presentation so that I can investigate further? Additionally, could you let me know whether the sync issue happens on the Prezi Next desktop application or the web editor?
@Bart The workaround is to kill all the Prezi desktop processes and start the desktop application again. I haven never seen the problem happen twice after restarting, but that does not mean it could not happen. The issue is easily avoided by simply restarting, however it leaves us will a distraction and feeling of mistrust that something got corrupted.
