About Slayde
Slayde is an AI presentation maker that works in three moves. You drop in source material such as notes, a PDF, screenshots or one rough topic, Slayde structures the deck, and then it renders each story card as a designed slide. Review and editing is possible before the deck is generated, and a deck typically takes about a minute to render.
During structuring it keeps facts intact, clusters related points, tightens slide titles and splits dense sections so slides are not text-heavy, keeping numbers and citations intact. You pick a deck purpose (such as creative, academic, pitch, study, minimal or story), a slide count from short decks of up to five slides to long ones of fifteen to twenty, and one of more than 20 visual styles. Inputs include PDF, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, XLSX, images and text, and decks export as PDF or PPTX. Sign-in is with Google and decks stay private in a history view.
