Step by step

  1. 1Describe your deckOn the create screen, type a one-line brief — your topic, audience, and tone. You can also paste or upload your own content (PDF, text, or notes) to turn into slides.
  2. 2Pick a templateChoose a template — it sets the theme, fonts, background texture, and layout style. The catalog leads with premium, Canva/Gamma-grade designs.
  3. 3Answer a few quick questionsEXdeck asks a short set of tap-to-answer questions (how visual, how detailed, what to emphasize) so the deck matches what you actually want.
  4. 4Generate and editThe AI writes and designs every slide — picking bullets, tables, or real data charts per slide. Then edit anything inline: drag text, recolor charts, add icons, or rewrite a slide with chat.
  5. 5Present or exportUse full-screen present mode, or export a real PowerPoint .pptx (opens in PowerPoint, Keynote, Slides) and a high-res PDF — yours to keep, no lock-in.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to make a presentation?

Yes. The free plan gives you monthly AI credits to generate and edit decks and export to PPTX and PDF (free exports carry a small watermark). Pro removes the watermark and gives far more credits.

Can I edit the slides after generating?

Yes — EXdeck is a full inline editor, not a one-shot generator. Drag text boxes, recolor charts, swap themes, add 200,000+ icons, and rewrite slides with AI chat.

Does it export to real PowerPoint?

Yes, a genuine .pptx with your text, charts, themes, and images preserved — plus a high-resolution PDF.
