This wikiHow article will show you the best way to convert a Microsoft Word document into a PowerPoint presentation on your PC or Mac. By making a few quick formatting changes to your document, you can import the document into PowerPoint and automatically create pre-formatted slides without having to retype anything!

Exporting Word Documents to PowerPoint

In Word, highlight and change your title text to “Heading 1” and the information under each title to “Heading 2.” Save your document. In PowerPoint, open a blank presentation and click New Slide > Slides from Outline. Select your Word document and click “Insert.”

• Each section needs a title at the top, and the title should be on its own line. The title will then become the title of that section's PowerPoint slide.
• For example, let's say the first page of your Word document contains sales information that you'd like to appear on a PowerPoint slide called "Sales." At the top of that section, you'd type "Sales" as the title, since you want that to be the name of your slide. Below that would be the content of the slide.
• Press Enter or Return after each section so there's at least one empty line between the end of a section and the title of the next slide.

• If you don't see style examples on the toolbar, click the Styles menu to view them.

• Once you change the first title to "Header 1," go through the rest of your document and do the same with other slide titles. You'll want all of the titles to be set to this style so they'll convert properly.

• Make sure you have at least one blank line between the title and the rest of the page's content.

• In the content area, press the Enter or Return key to add space between every block of text you want separated on the slide. Every individual line or paragraph will be a different bullet on your final slide.

• Text formatted with "Heading 3"

• If you delete the spaces between lines or try to add new text, it may not be formatted correctly, so always do this step last.

• Close Word when you're finished so there are no conflicts with PowerPoint in the remaining steps.

• Every title you set to "Header 1" appears on its own slide, along with its corresponding content, which you set to "Header 2."
• You can now design the slides however you'd like using all of your favorite PowerPoint tools.
• Word will not automatically convert images for you—you will have to manually add the images into your presentation.

Not all presentations have to be made in PowerPoint. If your presentation's content is in a Word document (DOCX file), there are a couple of ways to turn your document into a PowerPoint presentation (PPTX file).

Related: How to Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation

You can easily  convert a Word document to a PowerPoint file on the web . It's an easy process, but you do have to upload your document to Microsoft's web app. If you'd rather work with your file locally, there's a way to do that on your PC.

Microsoft Word's desktop app doesn't offer the above feature to automatically convert Word files to PowerPoint. Instead, it uses a manual workaround to convert your files.

This workaround involves formatting your Word document in a way that PowerPoint accepts and then importing the document into the PowerPoint app.

First, Format the Word Document

The first step is to make your Word document PowerPoint compatible. To do this, apply the H1 header style to all headers and the H2 header style to all paragraphs in your document.

Start by opening your document with Microsoft Word. In the Word window, select a header in your document.

While the header is selected, in the "Styles" section at the top of the Word window, click the "Heading 1" style. Do this for all the headers in your document.

Next, select the paragraph beneath your header. Then, in the "Styles" section at the top, click "More," and then select "Heading 2." Format all of your document paragraphs this way.

Finally, click File > Save in Word's menu bar to save the document. (Alternatively, press Ctrl+s on Windows or Command+s on Mac.)

Close the document in Word.

Next, Import the Word Document into PowerPoint

Your Word document is now ready to be imported into PowerPoint and converted into a presentation.

Start the import process by opening PowerPoint on your computer. On the first screen in PowerPoint, click "Blank Presentation" to make a new presentation.

In the PowerPoint editing window that opens, click the "Home" tab at the top. Then, in the "Slides" section at the top, click the arrow icon beside "New Slide."

Select "Slides from Outline" in the menu that appears.

PowerPoint will ask you to select the file to import into your presentation. Here, select the Word document that you formatted earlier.

Your Word document will now be converted into a PowerPoint presentation. Each "Header 1" in your Word document will now have a dedicated slide in the presentation. Review this presentation and make changes to it if you want.

Lastly, save the presentation by clicking File > Save in PowerPoint's menu bar.

And that's all. Your Word document is now ready to be presented to your audience!

Now that you're done, if you have a PowerPoint presentation that you'd like to convert to Word , there's a way to do that, too.

How long does it take to generate a presentation?

The time it takes to generate a PowerPoint presentation depends on the length of your uploaded Word/PDF document. For a 10-15 page document, expect it to take around 5 minutes. Longer documents with 50+ pages could take 10-15 minutes to generate slides. You’ll see a progress bar after clicking the generate button so you know the status.

For a quick summary of your documents you can also just use our AI summary feature, check it out here .

What elements from my document will be converted into slides?

Our AI will analyze headings, text paragraphs, images, tables, and lists in your document. It identifies key points, summaries, and data to structure into individual slides with appropriate text, bullet points and visuals. The goal is to capture all the important information and structure it effectively for a presentation.

You would agree that the difference between a good and a great pitch is your presentation skills and a well-designed PowerPoint presentation. You'll leave a lasting impression on your audience if you have a visually appealing presentation.

If you have ever created a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, you probably pasted the content from a Microsoft Word document onto the relevant PowerPoint slides. And then added relevant images, icons, and designed and formatted it, right?

But what if you could create a slick presentation with just a few clicks? With Microsoft's artificial intelligence, you can now automate the conversion of Word documents into PowerPoint presentations. Here's how.

Export to PowerPoint Presentation: Microsoft's AI at Work for You

Export to PowerPoint presentation, which is what this revolutionary AI feature of Microsoft is called, offers you slide suggestions powered by Designer in PowerPoint.

As Microsoft says, the slides are derived from your section headers in the document, so make sure to organize your Word document accordingly for optimal suggestions.

Designer in PowerPoint scans keywords in your Word document and then suggests imagery, icons, videos, themes, and fonts to arrange your content. So this means that you don't need to spend time opening a PowerPoint presentation, creating slides, formatting content, and designing it. Microsoft's AI does all the work for you!

What Do You Need to Turn Word Documents Into PowerPoint Presentations?

There are three things you need to convert Word documents to PowerPoint automatically—a stable internet connection, Word for the web, and a text-only Word for the web document.

For now, this feature of converting Word docs to PowerPoint presentations works only on Word for the web. You can also access this feature on Word and PowerPoint for the web if you have a Microsoft 365 subscription. But if you don't have the subscription, then you can do it for free with Office on the Web.

To use this feature, you will need to be signed in to Office.com with a Microsoft account. If you don't have a Microsoft account, you can easily create one. Here's how:

1. Go to Office.com

2. Click on Sign up for the free version of Office .

3. In the Create account page, sign-up with an existing email address (it could be any ID, even a Gmail one), and follow the instructions to create an account.

4. Alternatively, you could use a phone number or get a new email address if you don't want to use an existing one.

How to Prepare a Word for the Web Document

The Desktop Word app won't work if you want to turn Word docs into PowerPoint. You need a Word for the Web document, and you can do that in three ways:

• Create your presentation as a Word document for the web in Office.com .
• Copy and paste content from a desktop Word file into a new blank Word document for the web.
• Work on a desktop Word file and save it on your OneDrive folder. Then open it online on Word for the web.

So now that you have your Word for the web document ready, let's go ahead and turn it into a professional-looking presentation.

How to Use Export to PowerPoint Presentation

To test out this revolutionary feature, I edited and used one of my articles on a desktop Word file.

Then I copied the content from it, pasted it on Word for the web document, and saved it on Office.com. Here's how you can turn a document into a presentation:

1. Click File > Export > Export to PowerPoint presentation .

2. Based on your document keywords, the AI will offer a few design templates for you to choose from. I got 18 cool design themes, which made the selection easy. So choose a design theme that you like for your presentation.

3. As your presentation is getting prepared, the AI will show you windows with notifications of preparing slides and summarizing your content. Finally, a window will open notifying that your presentation is ready. Click Open presentation to review the results in PowerPoint for the web.

4. As you can see, the AI did an amazing job of creating my Word document into a bright, colorful and neatly designed and formatted PowerPoint presentation.

5. You can always change the suggested content as per your needs. As you can see in the image above, Designer in PowerPoint will give you design options alongside every slide. If you don't like one, you can choose another. Simply click on the Design option, and it will be changed.

6. And you can add icons, pictures, videos, and more—just like in any PowerPoint. I added icons of “Snacks” and a “Movie Clapboard” to sync with the Entertainment theme of a slide.

And not only from the web, but you can also add media from your own PC, once you're in PowerPoint for the web.

7. The presentation that is created is saved on the root folder of OneDrive on your computer.

You can also choose to save the presentation online, download a copy on your PC, and then use it offline as any other presentation. There are also options to download it as a PDF, as an ODP and also as images.

At the time of writing this, the Export to PowerPoint presentation feature is available only in English and supports only content files. Though, support for your pictures and tables is coming soon. And it is not available on Internet Explorer or Safari browsers yet.

Amazing AI That Understands Your Content and Theme

To test the feature's AI abilities further, I created a short Word document on the golf theme. And I was pleasantly surprised with the AI's understanding of the presentation's theme and content.

When I exported the Word document, the first two theme options had actual golf images and looked perfect!

So I chose the design I liked, and as you can see above, the AI created a very professional-looking and slick presentation!

Now Work Smart and Create Great Presentations

There's no denying that this revolutionary Export to PowerPoint presentation feature will transform the way you work or study. It's ideal for our fast-paced world, and can help you save significant time and effort by getting the job done with its AI magic—easily and speedily.

So now that you know how to use this incredible feature, go ahead and turn your Word documents into smart PowerPoint presentations. Be it a school or college report, a marketing campaign, or your company profile for investors, you're sure to make an impact!

How to Convert a Word Document into a PowerPoint Presentation

Easily convert a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation by formatting the document with proper Headings to automatically create separate slides in the presentation.

If you are heavily invested in Microsoft Office and use it for both personal and professional purposes, chances are you might need to convert your document from one format to another. One of the most common conversions users generally go with is Word document to PowerPoint presentation.

Copy/pasting the content of a document in a presentation is not feasible if the document is lengthy. Also, with the conversion feature embedded right into Microsoft Word, the need to use such outdated concepts negates. The feature to convert uses Artificial Intelligence for the job and is highly effective.

Preparing the Document for Converting into a Presentation

It is fairly easy to convert, given, you are aware of the basic formatting. All you have to do is format the text using the various heading options available in Microsoft Word.

The conversion process will use the Headings in your Word document and create separate slides based on the same into a PowerPoint presentation.

Since we are discussing the basics of the subject, we will only be using ‘Heading 1’ for slide’s Title in the converted presentation and ‘Heading 2’ as the slide content. You can similarly use the other available options in the ‘Style’ section of Word to enhance the clarity and quality of the presentation.

To format the titles, highlight them and then select ‘Heading 1’ from the ‘Styles’ section at the top. Remember, this will be used as the slide title in the PowerPoint presentation after being converted.

For the text under the heading, you can use other heading options. Again, highlight the content under the topic and select ‘Heading 2’. Since this will be nested under the Heading 1 that we previously used, the conversion process will put it as the slide content for the heading.

You can similarly format the rest of the document and make it readable and ready for conversion.

After you format the text, the text color will change to blue, which can be changed later on, using the themes options in Word.

To change the theme, go to the ‘Design’ tab at the top and then select the suitable document formatting from the listed options.

In this case, we have used ‘Basic (Stylish)’ and the text now looks green which is catchy and enhances the visual appeal of a presentation.

Converting Word Document to Presentation

There are two ways you can convert your document to a presentation, either through Microsoft Word or through Microsoft PowerPoint. However, for both methods, you will have to format the text in headings (for slide titles) and sub-headings (for slide content) structure in the document so that it can be converted.

Converting with Microsoft Word

After you have formatted the document, you will need to add the option to convert a document to presentation in the app’s toolbar, if not enabled currently, which will then be added to the top of Microsoft Word.

Click on the ‘File’ menu at the top-left corner to view the various options.

You can now view the information of the current document along with a bunch of features on the left. To enable the conversion icon, select ‘Options’ from the list on the left.

The ‘Word Options’ window will open, select the ‘Quick-Access Toolbar’ tab on the left.

You can now customize the quick access toolbar from this section. Click on the box under ‘Choose commands from’ and select ‘All Commands’ from the drop-down menu.

Next, scroll down and look for ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ from the list and click on ‘Add’ to enable it. The options are listed in alphabetical order; therefore, it wouldn’t be difficult to locate it. After you have added the feature to Microsoft Word, click on ‘OK’ at the bottom to save the changes and close the window.

Now, to convert the document into a PowerPoint presentation, click on ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ icon that we just added in the instructions above. You can find it above the ribbon bar in Word.

After you click on ‘Send to Microsoft PowerPoint’ icon, the conversion process will begin. It may take some time depending on the document type and length to convert it. Once the conversion is done, the document will now be in form of a presentation, differentiated by the headings we used earlier.

Converting with Microsoft PowerPoint

The process to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint Presentation is intricate in Microsoft Word, however, it is pretty straightforward and simple in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Open a new presentation on Microsoft PowerPoint and then select the ‘Insert’ tab at the top.

In the ‘Insert’ tab, you will see the option to add various items to the presentation. Since we are here to add a document, click on the ‘New Slide’ icon, the first option from the left. Next, select ‘Slides from Outline’ from the drop-down menu.

The ‘Insert Outline’ window will open where you can locate and select the document which you want to convert. After you have selected the document, click on ‘Insert’ at the bottom to convert and add to Microsoft PowerPoint.

The Word document is now converted to a PowerPoint presentation and the content is distributed between slides by the heading levels that we earlier formatted.

Converting a document to a presentation might have seemed like a herculean task earlier, but it won’t be the case from now on. You can use either of the two methods discussed above for the conversion and save yourself from the hassle of copy/paste. Also, do remember to format the text accurately to attain effective results.

How to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation

Whether you’re more comfortable working in PowerPoint or you’d like to present the content of your Word document in a different way, we’ve got you covered, There are a few different ways to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation. If you have a Microsoft 365 account, you can use Word for the Web to make the conversion or you can do it directly with PowerPoint. There’s another option, too. Don’t want to convert your document to a presentation, but still need to use it as a reference? You can insert it as an object directly in a slide. If this all sounds super complicated, don’t worry. We’ll guide you each step of the way.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using Word for the Web

First, open your web browser and log in to Office. Once logged in, open the document you want to convert in Word for the Web, and click the “File” tab in the top-left corner of the window.

IDG / Marshall Gunnell

Click “Export” in the left-hand pane and select “Export to PowerPoint Presentation (Preview).”

The Export to Presentation window will appear. Here, select the design theme you’d like to use and click “Export.”

Word for the Web will then begin preparing your new presentation. Once ready, click “Open Presentation.”

Your presentation will open in PowerPoint for the Web. If you need a local copy, you can always download it by going to File > Save as > Download a Copy.

Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation Using PowerPoint

You can convert your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation using PowerPoint itself, but you’ll need to make sure your Word document is properly formatted for the conversion first. For content that you want to use as a slide title, make sure you give it the Heading 1 style. For content you want to use as text in the slide, give it the Heading 2 style.

Once you’re ready, open PowerPoint and make sure you’re in the “Home” tab. Next, select “New Slide” in the ribbon and then “Slides from Outline” from the bottom of the menu that appears.

From here, locate the Word document you want to use, select it, and click “Insert.”

PowerPoint will then do its thing. While this way isn’t as good as using Word for the Web, it’ll still get the job done.

Insert Your Word Document as an Object in Your Presentation

If you’re not interested in converting your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation, you can insert it as an object for quick access.

Before we proceed, it’s important you understand the difference between the two types of objects you can insert your document as: Linked or Embedded.

The main difference between the two is where the data is stored. If you embed the object in your presentation, the data from that object is stored in the presentation. This is good if you’re worried about the location of the word document changing (which can break a linked object), but it will increase your file size. A linked object only inserts a link to the source file. In other words, the data from the object isn’t stored in the presentation—it simply links to it. This will keep your file size down, but that link may break if the source file is moved to a different location.

To insert your Word document as an object in your presentation, open your presentation and navigate to the slide you would like to add the object to. From there, click the “Insert” tab and select “Object.”

The Insert Object window will appear. Select “Create from File and click “Browse.”

Locate and select the document you would like to insert. Once inserted, you have two choices. You can either display the entire Word document in the PowerPoint slide or simply display the document icon. If you choose the latter, the document will open in Word when selected.

Click “OK” to insert the object. That’s all there is to it!

How to Convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation

To convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation is a relatively easy process that takes just a few steps. Although it’s not perfect.

Microsoft PowerPoint presentations sometimes grow out of Microsoft Word documents. Sure, you can go back and forth using copy/paste to create your presentation. However, there’s an easier way to do this by making two slight changes to the Microsoft Word text . Here are some ways to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation.

Step One: Change Your Word Document

The first thing you need to do to convert a Word Document to a PowerPoint Presentation is to make formatting changes to the former. In the following example, we’ve taken text published in a GroovyPost article about podcasts .

When brought to Microsoft Word, this content was divided into two sections for each podcast: the header and the body.

To more easily convert this content for PowerPoint use, we’re changing each heading to Heading 1 style while changing the body to Heading 2 style . You can adjust the styles by clicking on the Home section, then choosing Styles. Repeat for each section. Once you’re finished changing your text to Heading 1 and Heading 2 sections, save your Microsoft Word document.

Here’s the finished Word document in our example; your document might look different, depending on the styles:

Step Two: Import Into Microsoft PowerPoint

It’s now time to convert a Word document to a PowerPoint presentation by following the directions below.

• Open Microsoft PowerPoint .
• Create a new Microsoft PowerPoint presentation .
• Select Home > New Slide > Slides from Outline .

• Choose the Microsoft Word document that includes the Headline 1 and Headline 2 styles mentioned above.
• Click Insert .

Each page in the new PowerPoint presentation includes every instance of the Headline 1 and Headline 2 styles.

From here, you can make changes to your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation just as you would any other. In this case, you’re going to need to adjust the fonts and format to suit your tastes better.

Another Option

There’s another way to confirm a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation. It’s not as easy as the option mentioned above. However, it still works and might better suit your situation.

In this example:

• Open Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer.
• Create a new presentation .
• Select the slide where you want to place the Word document.
• Click Insert > Object , which is under the Text section in Object.
• Choose Create From File .
• Click Browse , then find your Microsoft Word document.
• Select OK .

As you can see above, this solution brings everything from the Microsoft Word document into one PowerPoint presentation slide. With lengthy Microsoft Word documents, this isn’t ideal. However, for shorter documents, the solution works well.

The Latest Way

In March 2021, Microsoft announced another way to confirm Word documents into PowerPoint presentations. For now, this solution is only available through Microsoft 365 on the web.

• Log into your Microsoft 365 from the online Office website .
• Open your Word document you wish to convert.
• Choose File > Export > Export to PowerPoint presentation .
• Select a PowerPoint theme .
• Choose Export .

That’s it! Your Word document is converted into a PowerPoint presentation.

The new export to PowerPoint tool isn’t a finished product. It also comes with the following limitations at the time of this writing:

• This feature is currently only available in English.
• You currently cannot use the feature on the Internet Explorer and Safari browsers.
• This feature only supports text content; support for other media content is not currently available.
• You can add your own media to the presentation after you have exported your Word document to a PowerPoint presentation.

No doubt, once Microsoft finishes creating this solution (and on desktop versions), it will quickly become the best way to convert Word documents to PowerPoint presentations. In the meantime, you may have to use one of the other solutions.

Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful app that’s available on Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. Besides converting Word documents to PowerPoint presentations, you can convert a presentation to a video . You can also  add GIFs to a PowerPoint  and insert PDFs into your PowerPoint .

You can also record or add audio to a PowerPoint to add music or other audio to your presentation. Finally, you can add speaker notes  when presenting live, giving you extra points to mention without filling up your slides.

How to Convert a Text Document into a Presentation with AI

One of the biggest challenges for presenters is to summarize content from lengthy reports, academic papers, or any other kind of written media in an informative and concise way. Rather than losing countless hours going over and over the same text, we can speed up the process thanks to the virtues of artificial intelligence.

In this article, we will guide you through going from document to presentation AI with different applications, but mainly using ChatGPT.

Table of Contents

Step-by-Step Guide: Converting PDF to PPT with AI Tools

Selecting a ppt template based on pdf content, extracting the presentation speech from a text pdf document, word to powerpoint ai presentation , slidemodel ai, final thoughts.

Say we need to process a PDF report to extract its information, then create a compelling report presentation for a stakeholders meeting. We can improve our efficiency using LLM applications like ChatGPT for presentations , Google Gemini, or Bing Copilot. The result depends on which model you’re using (there are noticeable differences in natural language usage between the ChatGPT versions), but overall, you can expect a similar performance.

Text to PPT AI with ChatGPT

Start by accessing ChatGPT. Select the GPT model you intend to use; for ChatGPT Plus, opt for GPT-4o. Use the upload function to select your PDF document. Ensure your document is well-structured for optimal conversion.

Prompt ChatGPT to analyze the PDF and generate an outline. For example, you can input, “Generate an outline for a PowerPoint presentation based on the contents of this PDF.” Once you have the outline, prompt ChatGPT to create individual slides based on each section of the outline. An example input could be, “Create a PowerPoint slide for each outline section.” but a better use of ChatGPT implies working with a prompt like: “Help me create a PowerPoint slide deck with the contents of this generated outline. Each slide should contain a maximum of [number of characters], be written in active voice, and have concise content for improved audience engagement.”

Then, you can ask ChatGPT to export the presentation to PPT format, which will generate a slide deck made of blank slides containing text. If you prefer a better outcome from AI for making PowerPoints, browse for PowerPoint templates and paste the content generated for each slide. You can even copy the demo images and ask ChatGPT something like: “Based on this chat, give me the content to fill this PPT template” while using the image upload function.

Our AI tools can help us tailor the selection of PPT templates by suggesting the kind of presentation we’re creating from that content, among other functionalities. Follow the upcoming suggestions to select a PPT template from your converted PDF content.

• Analyze the Content: Determine the nature of your content. Is it formal, technical, creative, or educational? This will influence your template choice.
• Theme and Tone: Match the theme and tone of your PDF with the presentation template. For instance, a corporate report might require a professional and clean template, while a creative project might benefit from a more colorful and dynamic design.
• Consistency: Ensure the template supports a consistent look and feel throughout your presentation. This includes uniform fonts, color schemes, and slide layouts.
• Audience: Consider your audience. Choose a template that will resonate with them and effectively convey your message.
• Template Sources: Utilize AI tools to suggest templates. For example, you can prompt ChatGPT, “Suggest a PowerPoint template for a technical report.”

Some AI models are not effective enough in retrieving recent web data. Another approach you can use is to upload demo images of your selected PPT template and ask the AI tool if the template fits your presentation’s purpose and which data you should place on each placeholder. You should also check our guide on how to use Midjourney for presentations to generate jaw-dropping graphics for your slides.

One immense advantage of working from PDF to presentation AI is the possibility of crafting a presentation speech draft in just seconds. This document can become your first approach to the presentation speech, which you can fine-tune with AI tools or manually.

Start by asking your AI tool a prompt like this: “Create a speech outline for a presentation based on the uploaded PDF.” Once you have the outline, prompt the AI to flesh out each section. For example, “Write a detailed speech for the introduction section of this presentation.”

AI tools have specific speech patterns that make the conversation look somewhat off. It’s extremely important to humanize the text with at least two iterations. In our experience, this helps to spot any inconsistencies or odd wording generated by AI. 

Finally, you can ask your AI tool to create speaker notes for presentations based on the generated speech – which you can copy/paste into another chat if the conversation seems too lengthy.

Much like working with PDFs, the Word to PPT AI conversion is possible in most AI tools available in the market. The procedure is exactly the same as with a PDF document, although we highly recommend checking formatting and ensuring the Word document doesn’t contain many images that can distract the AI tool from the written content.

The prompt would be: “Generate an outline for a PowerPoint presentation from this Word document.”

The same can be applied to Excel and PPT AI, but we can go into much deeper detail, such as extracting data from graphs for data presentations , asking for opinions based on the data plotted in the spreadsheets, and so much more.

If what you’re looking for is a ready-made solution that can craft a high-quality slide deck, then you need to check our AI Presentation Maker , SlideModel AI—an AI-powered tool made by expert presenters to grant you the best presentation design experience. 

The steps to convert a text document to presentation with SlideModel AI are really simple. Start by generating an outline based on your document with any free AI tool; this will serve as a guide for the upcoming steps of your presentation. 

Access the SlideModel AI page and click on Create a Presentation . In there, you need to introduce the following info:

• Number of slides

The second step in SlideModel AI is to review the generated outline for your presentation. You can add or delete the contents suggested by our AI tool and customize them for a better fit. If the outline doesn’t convince you, there’s an option to regenerate the output. 

Now, you need to select the preferred PPT template for your slide deck. You can select from multiple options and customize the PPT elements later.

Review the details and generate the presentation, which will be downloaded in PPTX format. The end result is a professionally designed slide deck with text content generated by AI, which will require a revision to humanize it. Overall, it reduces the time needed to create a presentation to just a few minutes.

A text to PowerPoint AI is a tool that converts written content into PowerPoint presentations, using artificial intelligence to format and structure the slides automatically.

A word to PowerPoint AI analyzes a Word document’s content, identifies key points, and organizes them into a slide deck, often adding relevant visuals and formatting.

Benefits include time savings, consistency in design, ease of use, and the ability to quickly generate presentations from written content.

PDF to PPT AI can convert various types of PDF documents, including reports, whitepapers, and articles, into PowerPoint presentations.

Yes, you can edit the PowerPoint presentation after it has been generated by the AI to make any necessary adjustments or add personal touches.

Yes, AI-generated PowerPoints can be integrated with existing presentations, allowing you to merge content seamlessly.

AI tools came to make our lives easier. We can consider them virtual assistants paired with a broad range of tools, but it’s up to us to extract the most from them. Choose your tools and create a workflow that gives you enough flexibility to create presentations even when you’re in a hurry.

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

• Guy Kawasaki

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

• Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
• Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
• Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
• Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.
