Overview
Presenton is an open-source presentation maker. You type a topic, upload a document or start from your own PowerPoint design, pick a template, and it writes and lays out the slides with images, icons and charts. You can edit the result in a drag-and-drop editor, then export a fully editable PPTX or a PDF. Use the desktop app for Mac, Windows or Linux, host it yourself with Docker, or use Presenton Cloud in the browser. It suits anyone who makes reports, pitches or class slides.
It is an open-source alternative to paid slide makers, and the decks it exports stay fully editable in PowerPoint.

Good to know
Make a first draft of a report, pitch or lesson deck from a topic or an existing document. Presenton generates the slides in a template you choose, lets you edit them and exports an editable PowerPoint or PDF file.
Limits
- The desktop and self-hosted versions need an AI model: your own API key, a ChatGPT sign-in or a local model through Ollama. Slide text and charts come from the model, so check facts and numbers before presenting.
- The Docker setup is for people comfortable with the command line; the desktop app is the simpler route.
