About Slides

Slides enables anyone with a web browser to easily create, present and share beautiful presentations for free. We help you make better presentations. Whether you’re presenting live to an audience or sharing privately, uploading an existing deck or creating one from scratch, working solo or collaborating with others on a team.

The company was founded by Hakim El Hattab and Owen Bossola in 2013. We are an independent and self-funded business operating solely on what we make from our paying customers (thanks!). We operate out of New York City and Stockholm, Sweden.

What People are Saying

Finally found an opportunity to use @slides after seeing a talk by @hakimel a few years ago.

Had one of those "where have you been all my life!" product moments.

Try it out the next time you're trying to make a point - trust me... ☺️

I usually HATE making slides. It takes me forever, I never know how to style stuff, doing anything repotely complex becomes a whole project... until I tried @slides.

I shipped 25+ slides in a single evening. I thought it’d take my whole Sunday. Now I can chill. I’m in awe 😍

After years of mumbling insults to myself while using Google Slides I've finally shelled out the money for @slides.

It's so. much. better. Gifs? Code? iFrames? Emoji? Export to HTML or PPTX? It's all there *and* easy. pic.twitter.com/TZeM31vfQ5

Creating a presentation using @slides is a delight. I tried in the past reveal.js, Google Slides, Keynote and if you have code to show, nothing beats Slides 🙌

@slides is probably the best presentation building tool I have ever used 🤯

@slides is one of the coolest digital tools of any kind I've ever worked with. One day in and I'll never use Powerpoint again.

Just authored a new slide deck using @slides. I don't ever want to ever use Keynote or PowerPoint again...

http://t.co/FZFGqgaZGq is a web app so useful and beautiful that it gives me hope for web applications as a concept.

@SlidesApp is the best online presentation tool I've ever used. It is perfect at LaTeX rendering and minimalistic presentations.Recommended.

Using @slides is amazing. I can control the "next slide" function with any device. and in speaker mode, even read my notes!
