Q: Keynote 6.6 Jpeg export incorrect resolution

When exporting a Keynote file as images (whether exporting to Jpeg, PNG, or TIFF) the images are exporting at 1024x768 instead of the correct widescreen resolution 16x9 (Keynote is essentially letter boxing the image so it is not stretched). This has just started since the latest update-- it's worked correctly for years, this is the first issue I've had. I've changed the document properties and other settings to see if there is some setting that changed somehow. I've looked and not see if Apple has a fix coming for this and have not come up with any matches.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    Hey everyone!

     

    I'm having the same problem exporting JPEGS. I need to get 1920x1080 of entire slideshows and everything is coming out as 1024x768.

     

    Thanks for the workaround using PDFs, Soccerdj11! However, I have lots of images to export and there doesn't appear to be a batch export of image files from Preview. Is there another workaround for this? Hah, because I have tons of images from the slides shows and would rather not have to do it image by image.

     

    Apple - Please fix Keynote 6.6! I have a Monday deadline!!!

     

    Thanks for everyone's input!

    I am glad I am not alone in this. This was a huge surprise for a presentation I had due this morning. I would rather have my old Keynote back at this point. I use this export at least three times a week. I need this taken care of or a way to downgrade keynote.

    Ha! Same issue! I use keynote for prototyping UI, and it is infuriating, because I need to export to specific resolutions...

    Same. It worked perfectly well before the latest update.

     

    Exporting as PDF first, then saving as JPEG from there works but be mindful that the way Keynote exports PDF's is weird. If you're going to share them with anyone not using a Mac there's a high chance some images will have outline boxes around them. It's really annoying. It happened so much that the way I used to create a PDF is export as images, then drag and drop into a new empty Keynote and save as PDF from there. Roundabout but the only way I could ensure consistent quality. Unfortunately that turns all text into images and increases size, but at least it looks professional

    We are having the exact same problem. I have reported the problem through "Provide Keynote Feedback" in the "Keynote" menu. I categorized it as a bug. I suggest anyone else running into this problem also provide the feedback. The more it gets reported, the more likely it will get prioritized over other bug fixes.

     

    In the meantime, we did find a temporary work-around. Depending on how you are trying to use the images, this may work. Instead of exporting as JPEG, export as PNG. You will still have the 16:9 image embedded in a 4:3 picture with bars above and below, but those bars will be transparent instead of white. In our case, we use the images in ProPresenter, and we have it scale the images to fit the 16:9 screen. ProPresenter does the right thing and scale the non-transparent portion of the image to the full screen. It won't be at the resolution we want, but it won't be a smaller image with a lot of white space above and below our slides. This may or may not work with other receiving software.

     

    For those wanting to export 16:9 images from Keynote that have not updated to version 6.6, I would suggest holding off for the time being.

    Having this same problem in Keynote 6.6.  Very aggravating. An alternative work-a-round to exporting as pdf is as follows:

     

    1. Make sure you are in Navigator mode (View --> Navigator)

     

    2. Select the slide you want to export and do a Command + C.

     

    3. Open Preview and select "New from Clipboard".

     

    4.  Export from Preview into file type of choice.

    If you have Microsoft Powerpoint on your mac, you can have the "least extra step" workaround for this problem.  Once you make your Keynote presentation, export it to a powerpoint presentation.  Then save the powerpoint presentation as images.  It will save it in the correct format.  It is still "one extra" step to the process, but it seems to be the quickest workaround that I have found so far to export the whole presentation into images.  I really hope Apple fixes this problem.  This only works if you have powerpoint on your mac.

    Thank you for the work around suggestion...however, is it possible to export all of the slides/pages in Preview to images at once? I'm only seeing how to do that one at a time?

    Yes! Thank you! I was on the phone with Apple for awhile and finally submitted feedback on their website. Thank you for helping me find a work around! This has GOT to be fixed SOON.

    Same problem here. It's been a painful situation for me, so I hope Apple fixes this fast. Here is an Automator task I created to easily break up a multi-page PDF into single images. Unfortunately I can't specify which page range I want to target (eg Slides 89-104). There's several ways to do this Automator workflow but this is mine for whatever it's worth…

     

    Note: I did find that the correct resolution to convert a Keynote generated PDF to an image is 72dpi. This will make a 1920x1080 slide convert to a 1920x1080 image file

    Please fix this Apple! I am totally screwed because of this. Been working on a 88 presentation for our university president. I have to export to JPEGS ... come on Apple. Let's make this work!

    Another workaround if you PowerPoint is to export to PowerPoint and then to images from there.

    We are not Apple, we are users just like you and have no influence on how Apple carries out there business.

     

    Apple are very aware of the bugs in Keynote version 6.6, you can wait on a fix from Apple or use a previous version either 6.5.3 or 5.3 which has none of these faults
