This guide explains how to download, extract, and launch an offline presentation on a Mac. Once prepared, you can copy and distribute the files to others on USB drives or cloud folders.
🎥 Watch the overview tutorial: See how Offline Presentations look when launched, and step through both Windows and Mac setup.
1. Download the Offline Presentation
After creating an offline presentation, download the ZIP archive from your dashboard.
Important for Mojave and older macOS versions:
The default Archive Utility cannot handle files over 4 GB. Use a free tool like The Unarchiver instead.
Safari automatically extracts ZIP files by default. To avoid corrupt files, disable this feature under Safari > Preferences > General, and uncheck “Open Safe Files After Downloading.”
2. Extract the Downloaded ZIP Archive
On Catalina or newer: you can safely use Archive Utility to extract the files.
On Mojave or older: Right-click the ZIP file → Open With > The Unarchiver.
Make sure all extracted files remain together in one folder.
3. Prepare the App for macOS
The first time you or your client launches the offline presentation, a one-time setup is required (similar to installing other apps on Mac):
Double-click the DMG file to mount it. A disk with the “Z” icon will appear on your desktop.
Double-click the icon on your desktop to launch it. This should open a window with the application icon inside.
Drag the application from this window into the same location as the dmg file and videos folder.
Double-click the copied application to launch it.
Accept the prompt that confirms it was downloaded from the internet.
After this initial setup, clients can simply launch the application directly in the future — no need to repeat the DMG steps.
4. Preparing for Windows Users
If you’re delivering to Windows clients:
Locate the
.exefile (e.g., YourPresentationName-win.exe) and the videos folder.Provide both files together.
Windows users simply double-click the
.exefile to run the presentation.
5. Distribute to Clients
Once prepared, copy the offline presentation files to:
A USB drive for physical delivery
A shared cloud folder (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
⚠️ Always ensure the videos folder stays in the same location as the application, or the videos will not play inside the menu.
