LEARN ABOUT PRESENTATIONS

What is a Presentation ?

A presentation is a sequence of slides that tell a story or teach an audience about a topic. These are often used in business as ways of demonstrating something and in the classroom as teaching aids. While PowerPoint long dominated the presentation industry, Visme’s free online presentation maker allows you to create even more beautiful and engaging content.

With Visme's engaging presentation maker, you can start with a template, dive into one of our themes with various slide ideas, or mix and match slides from different templates to create your own masterpiece.

Use the presentation maker to take the trouble out of presentation design.

Creating a slide deck for an important presentation can take several hours, if not days. Our free presentation maker provides a searchable slide library with 900+ layouts that you can fully customize. With so many options, you can easily find the exact slides that you need instead of searching for the right template or building a slide design from scratch.

Do you want to have your data in a slide show? If you have Microsoft 365, you can use PowerPoint! PowerPoint is a program that's part of the Microsoft Office suite (which you have to pay for) and is available for both Windows and Mac computers. This wikiHow teaches you how to create your own Microsoft PowerPoint presentation on a computer.

How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation

• Open the PowerPoint app, select a template and theme, then like “Create.”
• Click the text box to add your title and subtitle to create your title slide.
• Click the “Insert” tab, then “New Slide” to add another slide.
• Choose the type of slide you want to add, then add text and pictures.
• Rearrange slides by dragging them up or down in the preview box.

Things You Should Know

• Templates make it easy to create vibrant presentations no matter your skill level.
• When adding photos, you can adjust their sizes by clicking and dragging in or out from their corners.
• You can add animated transitions between slides or to individual elements like bullet points and blocks of text.

• If you don't have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, you can use the website instead of the desktop app. Go to https://powerpoint.office.com/ to use the website version.
• You can also use the mobile app to make presentations, though it's easier to do this on a computer, which has a larger screen, a mouse, and a keyboard.

• If you don't want to use a template, just click the Blank option in the upper-left side of the page and skip to the next part.

• Skip this step if your selected template has no themes available.

• If you're creating a PowerPoint presentation for which an elaborate title slide has been requested, ignore this step.

• You can change the font and size of text used from the Home tab that's in the orange ribbon at the top of the window.

• You can also just leave this box blank if you like.

• You can also click and drag in or out one of a text box's corners to shrink or enlarge the text box.

• On a Mac, you'll click the Home tab instead. [1] X Research source

• Clicking the white slide-shaped box above this option will result in a new text slide being inserted.

• Title Slide
• Title and Content
• Section Header
• Two Content
• Content with Caption
• Picture with Caption

• Naturally, the title slide should be the first slide in your presentation, meaning that it should be the top slide in the left-hand column.

• Skip this step and the next two steps if your selected slide uses a template that doesn't have text boxes in it.

• Text boxes in PowerPoint will automatically format the bulk of your text for you (e.g., adding bullet points) based on the context of the content itself.
• You can add notes that the Presentation will not include (but you'll still be able to see them on your screen) by clicking Notes at the bottom of the slide.

• You can change the font of the selected text by clicking the current font's name and then clicking your preferred font.
• If you want to change the size of the text, click the numbered drop-down box and then click a larger or smaller number based on whether you want to enlarge or shrink the text.
• You can also change the color, bolding, italicization, underlining, and so on from here.

• Photos in particular can be enlarged or shrunk by clicking and dragging out or in one of their corners.

• Remember to keep slides uncluttered and relatively free of distractions. It's best to keep the amount of text per slide to around 33 words or less. [2] X Research source

• Slide content will animate in the order in which you assign transitions. For example, if you animate a photo on the slide and then animate the title, the photo will appear before the title.
• Make your slideshow progress automatically by setting the speed of every transition to align with your speech as well as setting each slide to Advance . [3] X Trustworthy Source Microsoft Support Technical support and product information from Microsoft. Go to source

• If you need to exit the presentation, press Esc .

• Windows - Click File , click Save , double-click This PC , select a save location, enter a name for your presentation, and click Save .
• Mac - Click File , click Save As... , enter the presentation's name in the "Save As" field, select a save location by clicking the "Where" box and clicking a folder, and click Save .

Community Q&A

• If you save your PowerPoint presentation in .pps format instead of the default .ppt format, double-clicking your PowerPoint presentation file will prompt the presentation to open directly into the slideshow view. Thanks Helpful 6 Not Helpful 0

Genially in a nutshell

How do I make a presentation interactive and how does Genially work? Find the answers to all of your slide-related questions here!

What’s an interactive presentation?

Interactive slides contain clickable hotspots, links, buttons, and animations that are activated at the touch of a button. Instead of reading or watching passively, your audience can actively interact with the content.  

Genially’s interaction presentation software allows you to combine text, photos, video clips, audio and other content in one deck. It’s a great way to condense more information into fewer slides. 

If you’re a teacher, you can share multiple materials in one single learning resource. Students can create their own projects using digital media and online maps. For business or training, try embedding spreadsheet data, PDFs, and online content directly in your slides. 

An interactive slide deck is more user-friendly than a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation or Google Slides document. That’s because you can break information down into chunks with pop-ups, labels, voiceovers and annotated infographics.  

The other benefit of interactive content is increased engagement. It’s easier to keep your audience’s attention when they’re actively participating. Try Genially’s presentation software and free slideshow maker to see how it’s better than other presentation websites. You won’t go back to standard presentation apps!

How do you make a clickable slide?

The best way to make slides clickable is to use Genially’s free interactive presentation program. Design your slide then apply an interaction. In a couple of clicks, you can add popup windows, hyperlinks, close-up images, games, animations, multimedia and other content. 

Choose from the library of hotspot buttons and icons to show people what to click on. Go to Presenter View to get a preview and see how your content will appear to your audience.

How do I create presentations that look professional?

You’ve got a deadline looming and you’re staring at the screen with a blank presentation. We’ve all been there! Starting a presentation design from scratch is tricky, especially if you’re short on time. 

Genially’s free online presentation maker has over 2000 ready-to-use templates for professional slide presentations, photos slideshows, and more. Each slide design has been created by our team of top graphic designers. No need to worry about fonts, centering images, or designing a matching color scheme. It’s all done for you. 

Start by browsing our layouts and themes for education, business and then customize with your own text and images.

How do I share or download my slides?

Because Genially is a cloud based presentation software, you can simply share the link to your slides. Like other online presentation tools, there are no files to download or store on your computer. Everything is saved online.  

When you publish your slide deck, it gets its own unique url, just like a website. Share the link with others to let them explore the content in their own time. If you’re presenting live, just click the Present button. 

You can also embed your presentation on your website, company wiki, or social media. Genially is compatible with WordPress, Moodle, Google Classroom, and other platforms. If you use an LMS, you can also download your interactive design slides in SCORM format.

For slideshow videos and slideshows with music, share online or download as an MP4 video. Check out our free slideshow templates for ideas.

Can I make a free presentation in Genially?

You bet! Genially is an easy-to-use slide maker, with a free version and paid plans. The free plan allows you to create unlimited slides with interactions and animations. Subscribe to one of our paid plans for more advanced features.

When lack of inspiration or time constraints are something you’re worried about, it’s a good idea to seek help. Slidesgo comes to the rescue with its latest functionality—the AI presentation maker! With a few clicks, you’ll have wonderful slideshows that suit your own needs . And it’s totally free!

Generate presentations in minutes

We humans make the world move, but we need to sleep, rest and so on. What if there were someone available 24/7 for you? It’s time to get out of your comfort zone and ask the AI presentation maker to give you a hand. The possibilities are endless : you choose the topic, the tone and the style, and the AI will do the rest. Now we’re talking!

Customize your AI-generated presentation online

Alright, your robotic pal has generated a presentation for you. But, for the time being, AIs can’t read minds, so it’s likely that you’ll want to modify the slides. Please do! We didn’t forget about those time constraints you’re facing, so thanks to the editing tools provided by one of our sister projects —shoutouts to Wepik — you can make changes on the fly without resorting to other programs or software. Add text, choose your own colors, rearrange elements, it’s up to you! Oh, and since we are a big family, you’ll be able to access many resources from big names, that is, Freepik and Flaticon . That means having a lot of images and icons at your disposal!

How does it work?

Think of your topic.

First things first, you’ll be talking about something in particular, right? A business meeting, a new medical breakthrough, the weather, your favorite songs, a basketball game, a pink elephant you saw last Sunday—you name it. Just type it out and let the AI know what the topic is.

Choose your preferred style and tone

They say that variety is the spice of life. That’s why we let you choose between different design styles, including doodle, simple, abstract, geometric, and elegant . What about the tone? Several of them: fun, creative, casual, professional, and formal. Each one will give you something unique, so which way of impressing your audience will it be this time? Mix and match!

Make any desired changes

You’ve got freshly generated slides. Oh, you wish they were in a different color? That text box would look better if it were placed on the right side? Run the online editor and use the tools to have the slides exactly your way.

Download the final result for free

Yes, just as envisioned those slides deserve to be on your storage device at once! You can export the presentation in .pdf format and download it for free . Can’t wait to show it to your best friend because you think they will love it? Generate a shareable link!

What is an AI-generated presentation?

It’s exactly “what it says on the cover”. AIs, or artificial intelligences, are in constant evolution, and they are now able to generate presentations in a short time, based on inputs from the user. This technology allows you to get a satisfactory presentation much faster by doing a big chunk of the work.

Can I customize the presentation generated by the AI?

Of course! That’s the point! Slidesgo is all for customization since day one, so you’ll be able to make any changes to presentations generated by the AI. We humans are irreplaceable, after all! Thanks to the online editor, you can do whatever modifications you may need, without having to install any software. Colors, text, images, icons, placement, the final decision concerning all of the elements is up to you.

Can I add my own images?

Absolutely. That’s a basic function, and we made sure to have it available. Would it make sense to have a portfolio template generated by an AI without a single picture of your own work? In any case, we also offer the possibility of asking the AI to generate images for you via prompts. Additionally, you can also check out the integrated gallery of images from Freepik and use them. If making an impression is your goal, you’ll have an easy time!

Is this new functionality free? As in “free of charge”? Do you mean it?

Yes, it is, and we mean it. We even asked our buddies at Wepik, who are the ones hosting this AI presentation maker, and they told us “yup, it’s on the house”.

Are there more presentation designs available?

From time to time, we’ll be adding more designs. The cool thing is that you’ll have at your disposal a lot of content from Freepik and Flaticon when using the AI presentation maker. Oh, and just as a reminder, if you feel like you want to do things yourself and don’t want to rely on an AI, you’re on Slidesgo, the leading website when it comes to presentation templates. We have thousands of them, and counting!.

How can I download my presentation?

The easiest way is to click on “Download” to get your presentation in .pdf format. But there are other options! You can click on “Present” to enter the presenter view and start presenting right away! There’s also the “Share” option, which gives you a shareable link. This way, any friend, relative, colleague—anyone, really—will be able to access your presentation in a moment.

How to Create a Template in Google Slides: A Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to create custom templates in Google Slides with step-by-step instructions, tips for design consistency, and expert customization advice.

Why Create a Google Slides Template?

• Consistency : Templates help maintain uniformity in slide layouts, fonts, and colors, which is crucial for branding and professionalism.
• Efficiency : Instead of starting from scratch each time, a template allows you to begin with a fully prepared layout, cutting down preparation time.
• Collaboration : Teams working on the same project can use a single template to ensure that everyone's presentations look cohesive.

Steps to Create a Template in Google Slides

Step 1: open google slides and create a new presentation.

• Go to Google Slides and sign in using your Google account.
• Click the "+" (blank) slide button to open a new presentation.

Step 2: Access the Slide Master

• In the top toolbar, go to "Slide" and select "Edit theme" (this will open the master slide editor).

Step 3: Customize the Master Slide

• Set the Background : You can set a custom background color or image. To do this, click on "Background" and choose a color or upload an image.
• Choose Fonts : Click on the text boxes in the master slide to select fonts and adjust sizes, colors, and alignment. Ensure you're using a legible font, especially for titles and body text.
• Add a Logo or Branding : If your template needs a logo or other branded element, add it here so it appears on every slide. Simply drag and drop or use the "Insert" > "Image" function to add graphics.

Step 4: Create Slide Layouts

• Edit Existing Layouts : Click on any layout to customize it. For example, you can:
• Adjust the placement of text boxes and images.
• Change the background, font, or color scheme.
• Add placeholders for images or text that will need to be filled out later.
• Add New Layouts : If the default options don’t meet your needs, you can create new layouts by clicking the "+" icon at the top of the master editor.
• Once you create a new layout, customize it the same way you would with any other layout (adjusting text boxes, backgrounds, fonts, etc.).

Step 5: Save Your Template

• Exit the master slide editor by clicking "X" in the upper-right corner of the slide master panel.
• Save your presentation as a template by either:
• Keeping it in Google Drive and making a copy every time you need it.
• Downloading it as a PowerPoint file (.pptx) or saving it to your Google Drive for easy access.

Tips for Designing an Effective Google Slides Template

1. use a simple color scheme, 2. choose readable fonts.

• Use sans-serif fonts for body text (e.g., Arial, Lato, Open Sans).
• Use decorative fonts sparingly, only for titles or accent elements.

3. Incorporate Consistent Imagery

• Align images with text to create balanced layouts.
• If you're using a background image, make sure it doesn’t overpower the content. Use transparency to soften it if necessary.

4. Design for Flexibility

5. include slide numbers and footers, 6. test responsiveness, create ppt using ai.

Just Enter Topic, Youtube URL, PDF, or Text to get a beautiful PPT in seconds. Use the bulb for AI suggestions.

How to Create Flowcharts in Google Slides: Simple Tutorial

Ever sat through a presentation that was just wall-to-wall text? It’s tough, right? That’s where flowcharts come in. They can transform complex information into easy-to-understand visuals, making your presentations not just informative but also engaging. 

Creating flowcharts in Google Slides is easier than you might think! Whether you’re presenting a project, mapping out a process, or simply want to add a visual element to your slides, flowcharts can be incredibly helpful. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the simple steps to create professional-looking flowcharts in Google Slides, even if you’re a beginner.

Why Use Flowcharts?

Flowcharts help in visualizing steps in a process, making it easier to understand complex information. They are a fantastic tool for breaking down information into easily digestible visuals. They are useful in various scenarios such as:

• Project planning
• Process documentation
• Decision making
• Problem-solving

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Flowcharts in Google Slides

Step 1: Open Google Slides

Begin by launching Google Slides and starting a new presentation. You can do this by navigating to Google Slides and clicking on the blank presentation or choosing an existing template.

Step 2: Set Up Your Slide

To set up your slide for a flowchart:

• Click on the “+” icon to add a new slide.
• Choose a blank slide layout for a clutter-free workspace.
• Optionally, you can change the background color or add a theme to match your branding.

Step 3: Add Shapes

Flowcharts are made up of different shapes that represent various steps in a process:

• Go to the toolbar and click on the “Shape” icon.
• Select “Shapes” and choose rectangles for process steps, diamonds for decision points, and ovals for start/endpoints.
• Click and drag on the slide to draw the shapes. Resize them as needed.

Step 4: Add Text to Shapes

To add text to your shapes:

• Double-click inside a shape to enter text.
• Type in the relevant information for each step of your flowchart.
• Adjust the font size, style, and color from the toolbar to make your text stand out.

Step 5: Connect the Shapes

To illustrate the flow between steps:

• Click on the “Line” tool in the toolbar.
• Select “Arrow” to draw directional lines between shapes.
• To connect shapes, click and drag from one shape to the next.
• Ensure the arrows point in the correct direction to maintain logical flow.

Step 6: Customize Your Flowchart

Enhance your flowchart by:

• Changing the color of shapes and lines to make different sections distinct.
• Adding images or icons to represent steps visually.
• Using alignment tools to make sure everything is evenly spaced and organized.

Step 7: Review and Save

Once you’re satisfied with your flowchart:

• Review it to ensure accuracy and clarity.
• Save your presentation by clicking on “File” > “Download” and choosing your preferred format, such as PDF or PNG.

Tips and Tricks for Better Flowcharts

• Keep it simple: Avoid overcrowding your flowchart with too many details. Focus on the main steps and keep it clear.
• Use color wisely: Color can help differentiate sections but don’t overdo it. Choose a consistent color scheme that ensures easy readability.
• Consistent design: Use the same shape sizes, line styles, and font types throughout your flowchart for a cohesive look.

Utilize Premade Templates and Themes

Creating a flowchart from scratch can be time-consuming. To save time and ensure a professional look, consider using premade Google Slides themes and editable flowchart presentation templates available online. These templates come with pre-designed elements that you can easily customize to fit your needs.

Creating flowcharts in Google Slides is a simple process that can greatly enhance your presentations. By following this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll be able to create clear and effective flowcharts in no time.
