Why You Might Need an AI Presentation

Presentations are used in many situations — from class assignments and project reviews to client pitches and internal reports. But creating clear, well-designed slides takes time: You need to structure the content, choose visuals, and keep everything consistent.

AI presentation tools help speed up this process. They can turn a text prompt into ready-to-use slides with infographics and visuals in minutes. These tools are especially useful when you're short on time, need a quick draft, or want to explore different ways to present the same content before refining it manually.

10 Free & Affordable AI Presentation Tools

GammaThe most comprehensive feature set

Pricing
Free plan: Allows you create multiple presentations based on their length and number of edits, using a credit-based system. You can actually get by using only free credits — for example, generating a new illustration usually costs just 1-3 credits
Paid plans: Start from $8 per month
Gamma is one of the most popular AI tools for creating presentations. It offers a wide range of features, many of which are not available in similar services.

Tips on creating beautiful and effective presentations, presentation tools and software, common mistakes to avoid.
Text generation. You can generate text from scratch, upload your own content, or provide a link to a website — in that case, the AI automatically extracts the content and turns it into slides.
The generated results are generally of decent quality: not too superficial, but not very in-depth either. During editing, you can ask the AI to expand specific sections or explore a topic in more detail.
Visuals. Gamma lets you generate images using different AI models and styles, automatically select visuals from free stock libraries or the web, or upload your own images.
Diverse and relevant images are the tool's biggest advantage. Once you choose an AI model, it follows the prompt almost to the letter, and you can refine specific details without changing the overall visual.
Design & Templates. Gamma offers a wide range of templates, though many of them feel quite similar. While there's plenty to choose from, the more visually distinctive options aren't always practical for every use case.
You can also create your own template by customizing colors and elements and uploading your fonts and logo. Next time you generate a new presentation, Gamma will automatically apply your brand style.
The tool offers quite versatile options when it comes to color palettes.
Editing & Layouting. The platform provides tools for full-scale editing of generated templates. For example, you can switch templates and colors, generate new images, and choose different slide layouts—basically, you can tweak, customize, or completely redo everything to match your style.
One of Gamma's standout features is its AI Agent. You can simply type a prompt describing what you want to change in the presentation, and it will handle the updates for you. For example, it can replace images, suggest a different template, rewrite the text, and more.
Thanks to this, you don't have to edit slides manually—you can simply type something like, "Make the illustrations smaller and the headings larger."
Exporting. You can export a presentation as a PDF or PPTX (the standard slide format) only with a watermark. Without a watermark, you can either present the slideshow directly in the service or take screenshots of the slides.

PopAIA tool that's easiest to get started with

Pricing
Free plan: Allows you to create 1 presentation per day with up to 15 slides. Includes 1 AI credit that can be used for more complex tasks to further refine the generated results
Paid plans: Start from $16.49 per month
While many AI presentation tools usually have a multi-step onboarding process, PopAI offers one of the easiest entry points. You don't need to answer a long list of questions about the presentation's goals or structure—just enter a topic, and the slides are generated immediately, without even showing a draft outline first.
Simple onboarding helps you get your presentation out faster, but the results aren't as precise.
Text generation. Since you're not asked to provide much context, the generated text tends to be fairly basic. However, the overall structure is solid, and during generation you can even see the tool actively pulling information from online sources to build the presentation.
It even automatically suggests several slides meant for charts and infographics, though you'll need to replace them with real data yourself.
Visuals. Imagery is PopAI's biggest drawback. Unless you specifically ask for slides with images, the tool won't add any. On the free plan, adding an extra slide doesn't create a blank one—instead, it generates a new content slide and consumes your single AI credit. If that credit is used on an image slide, you can't regenerate the default image and have to upload one manually. Even when images are generated, they tend to be rather basic and synthetic, so they usually need to be replaced.

If you forget to request image slides and spend your credit on something else, you'll have to wait until the next day to add images. Overall, this is one of those services that very clearly nudges users toward upgrading to a paid plan.
Design & Templates. There's a fairly large selection of templates tailored to different industries and themes, but their layouts are pretty much the same. If you select a template and then change it multiple times, each change will also consume the single free AI credit.
Editing & Layouting. Overall, the editor is less user-friendly than some others in this list: It offers a limited set of actions, doesn't support drag-and-drop upload, and feels quite restrictive to work with.

When you attempt an action that requires additional credits, the editor interrupts the workflow and redirects you to the pricing page. From there, there's no direct way to return to the editor—you have to go back to the homepage and restore the presentation from the version history.

That said, it does include an AI assistant that can be used to refine text on slides.
Exporting. On the free plan, you can't download the presentation—only share it via a link. All slides also include a fairly noticeable watermark.

Presentations.AI — In-depth topic analysis & high-quality text

Pricing
Free plan: 80 characters included—enough to create ~5 presentations
Paid plans: Start from $4/month
Text generation. This is the platform's biggest strength—it generates genuinely high-quality content, which is especially useful for students of all levels.
You can start with anything from a one-line topic to a detailed presentation outline. The AI can also base the presentation on materials you provide, such as an uploaded file or a website link. There's also a step in the generation process where you're asked to confirm or edit factual information.
Visuals. All standard options are available (AI generation, stock photos, custom uploads), but the platform uses very few images by default—like one or two per 15 slides.
The tool understood the topic of sales and picked a related image.
If you're not satisfied with the visuals, for example, you can manually browse connected image libraries and search for better options using keywords.
Design & Templates. The overall look of the generated slides can feel reminiscent of classic PowerPoint presentations—which isn't necessarily a plus in 2026. That said, if you don't need something ultra-modern or visually bold, the service does its job well—text is laid out cleanly and consistently.

Another advantage is that it organically includes a wide variety of charts and infographics, which can be very helpful for presenting different types of statistics.
Although the free plan doesn't offer as many templates as you might expect, there are still some solid options. You can also provide a website URL, and the AI will try to match the presentation's colors and fonts to the site.
The platform correctly picked up Tilda's core brand colors and even extracted the logo, but for now it can't generate slides that fully match those identified styles—this feature will likely improve over time.
Editing & Layouting. You can manually switch slide layouts, edit the text, or regenerate images. However, the platform doesn't offer an AI agent to automatically refine or improve the results. If you're not satisfied with the visuals, for example, you can manually browse connected image libraries and search for better options using keywords.
Exporting. Presentations can't be downloaded on the free plan—you can only view them within the service by sharing a URL. A useful bonus is the built-in analytics, which show how many times the presentation was viewed and which slides attracted the most attention. This is especially helpful for commercial use.
Another plus is that no watermark is added during editing.
If you're new to no-code solutions, use this exclusive promo code to get one month of the Tilda Personal Plan instead of the standard 2-week trial.

Prezo — A clean, modern minimalist style

Pricing
Free version: All features included
Paid plans: Team demo available on request
Text generation. The platform lets you choose the tone of voice—friendly, professional, ironic, etc.—and describe the target audience the text is meant for. For example: "The presentation should be clear and engaging for investors who aren't familiar with my specialized product."
The service first creates a slide with an image placeholder and suggests a generation prompt. You can use it as is or write your own, then choose a visual style and generate the image. However, one major drawback is that the feature isn't reliable—sometimes the illustration doesn't appear at all.

The platform also offers online resume generation, which isn't a very common feature. You can provide a website link, upload a file, or enter your details manually. However, in our testing, it was difficult to get decent results even after multiple attempts. Perhaps this feature will improve in the future.
Visuals. You can choose from a wide variety of visual styles, including cinematic and anime-style illustrations, comic-style visuals, 3D graphics, etc.
Design & Templates. The service doesn't offer any templates, so all presentations end up looking similar. Before generation, you can set the core design options—choose a font, pick a primary color, and even decide whether shapes should have rounded corners.
Editing & Layouting. All elements can be edited manually or regenerated. There aren't as many slide design options as in Gamma, but everything you need is there. The biggest advantage is that all features are free, so there are no limits on the number of edits.
Exporting. You can download a PDF without a watermark—even on the free plan. You can also publish your presentation via a link, allowing others to open and view your slides directly in their browser.

SlidesAIA powerful browser extension for Google Slides

Pricing
Free plan: Includes 1 presentation per month, with up to 2500 characters limit and 10 AI credits
Paid plans: Start from $10/month
Unlike most tools in this selection, SlidesAI works either as a browser extension for Google Slides or as an add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint. The Google Slides version runs in Google Chrome (or other Chromium-based browsers), so you'll need one installed to use it.
SlidesAI is especially handy if you create presentations in Google Slides and need the final output as a PowerPoint (.pptx) or another format that Google Slides supports for export.
Text generation. One of the tool's strengths is the quality of the generated text, but getting there requires going through a setup process and providing quite a bit of information: What the presentation is about, the format it's intended for, the target audience, the preferred tone of voice, and more. The more context you give, the more accurate and relevant the result will be.
You can either suggest a presentation topic or provide your own draft outline. Uploading a full script or generating slides from a link is also supported, but limited to paid plans.
Design & Templates. Visuals and overall design are handled in a separate, fully adjustable section. You can browse through a relatively small library of templates (around 20), but the tool gives you a lot of creative control—for example, you can decide how often images appear on slides and where those images come from, such as AI-generated visuals, stock photos, or a mix of both.
Editing & Layouting. After you complete the core content setup, you're asked to define the presentation's end goal—for example, securing client approval, informing stakeholders about trends, presenting campaign options, etc. Unlike many tools that collect this information just for form's sake, SlidesAI actually reflects these goals in the final output.
Next, you're presented with a draft outline of the presentation. At this stage, you can review each slide individually and decide whether to make changes like regenerating the content or splitting information across multiple slides.
While the tool generally understands instructions well, in one case it behaved unexpectedly. After asking it to split a slide into multiple slides, it reordered the quarters incorrectly—starting with Q4 and moving backward, which pushed Q1 to the end of the deck (slide 10).
The incorrect order that appeared after splitting the slide into multiple slides was preserved in the final generated version.
If you're happy with the draft, click Generate slides. The generation process can take up to 10-15 minutes, depending on how many slides you've requested.
Once the generation is complete, you end up with a full slide deck directly in Google Slides. You can edit it manually or continue refining it using the extension. For example, you can regenerate weaker images with AI or browse stock photos. Each tweak consumes credits, and on the Free plan you can typically regenerate around two images.
Overall, the content quality was solid, but the visuals were fairly basic. Achieving more polished imagery would require additional credits, making the paid plan effectively necessary.
Exporting. The biggest advantage of the tool is that slides are generated directly in Google Slides with no watermarks. Once you're satisfied with the result, all you need to do is choose the appropriate export format and download your presentation.

AiPPTIf you need a classic PPT presentation quickly

Pricing
Free plan: Includes 2 AI generations per day (up to 6 total), up to 2 PPT template downloads per day, and 40 AI image credits
Paid plans: Start from $4/month
Text generation. The service tends to generate fairly solid text content. For example, if you set a topic like "Enhancing user experience through behavioral analysis," it goes beyond basic definitions and attempts to explain common tracking tools as well as how to apply insights from research in practice. While the output still requires clarification and supporting statistics, the overall structure works well as a draft.
Design & Templates. The platform offers a fairly large template library, but its visual assets are limited to images built into the templates—which are mostly abstract or cartoonish—or AI-generated visuals. The AI model behind the image generation produces fairly simple, obviously synthetic results, so you'll likely need to replace most if not all images manually.
Editing & Layouting. One of the tool's biggest advantages is its simple and intuitive visual editor. It lets you switch templates, insert shapes and objects, adjust background colors, upload your own images, and more. All slides are generated with visual placeholders like YOUR LOGO or CREDITS, which makes it easier to understand how to further personalize the results.
Exporting. On the free plan, you can only share your presentation via a link, which can be secured with a password. To download the deck as a PPT file—or allow others to download it via the shared link—you'll need to upgrade to a paid plan.
The good news is that AiPPT offers some of the most affordable pricing on the market. With an annual subscription, the cost comes out to $12 per year, or just $1 per month.

Wepik/SlidesGO — Lots of templates & Canva integration

Pricing
Free plan: Up to 3 presentation downloads
Paid plans: Start from €1.99/month
Text generation. You can generate text only by using prompts. The results are decent for simple presentations, but not detailed enough for more complex topics.

Visuals. The platform offers a broad selection of visual styles, including cartoon-like 3D elements to historical-style illustrations. The generated images are generally of good quality and match the content well.
You can choose the visual style you prefer for your images.
Design & Templates. One of the biffest platform's advantages–it provides a large selection of templates. Some are locked behind a paid plan, but many are available for free.

However, layout quality is a notable drawback. Many templates look great on the cover slide, but the remaining slides often feel repetitive and flat.
A quick overview of the available template options.
Text placement can also be inconsistent, with content occasionally spilling beyond slide boundaries or leaving noticeable empty areas.
Editing & Layouting. Even on paid plans, editing options are very limited. You can edit slide titles and descriptions or ask the AI to rewrite content, but you can't change the layout (the feature is listed as "coming soon") or upload custom images. For more customizable editing, the only real option is to download the file and upload it to third-party services like Canva.
Exporting. The free version also limits downloads to three. However, you can download the presentation, upload it to Canva, and continue editing it there.
Another important drawback to keep in mind: Once you close the window with your presentation, you won't be able to access or edit it. So don't forget to download it right away—otherwise, you'll lose it.

Slidebean — Great fit for pitch decks, built for founders & startups

Pricing
Free plan: All features included except presentation export
Paid plans: Start from $7/month
Text generation. Slidebean is clearly built for businesses and startups raising investment. You start by sharing a company website or entering a brief description, and the platform generates a well-structured set of slides. Some slides are generated automatically based on your prompt, while others are intentionally left blank so founders can fill in the remaining details.
Visuals. Image generation results can be hit or miss. Some visuals feel odd or don't align well with the content, but you can be replace them with more suitable options from Slidebean's built-in gallery.
Even though the prompt specifically mentioned an eco-cosmetics brand, the presentation was illustrated with interior images. On top of that, this template is basically the only default option available, with no way to automatically regenerate slides.
Design & Templates. Most of the templates are simple but well suited for business presentations. Slidebean offeres specialized slides for statistics, metrics, charts, and other investor-relevant information, all clearly laid out and appropriately styled.

Even though it always generates the same basic, repetitive template with a standard structure, it's actually not bad. For example, it includes a variety of different slide formats, including rarer ones like team introduction slides, which can be particularly useful for businesses and startups.
Editing & Layouting. Text and images can be edited manually. There's no AI agent here, but the prompts built into the slide templates help guide what content should go where.
Since the platform always generates the same basic template, you'll need to reselect the images manually or upload custom ones.
Exporting. On the free plan, presentations can only be viewed online—you can't download the slides without upgrading.

Pitch — Top choice for team collaborations

Pricing
Free plan: Unlimited presentations with a subtle watermark
Paid plans: Start from $24/month (2-25 collaborators)
Text generation. The service tends to produce fairly good copy: Even if you provide a short prompt, it will try to elaborate on related topics. But if you need more detailed or in-depth text, the results can be hit or miss.
Visuals. Images are not AI-generated and generally match the topic, but not always—sometimes they're too abstract. However, you can browse connected image libraries and replace them; the options are quite broad.
Design & Templates. On the free plan, generated templates are quite basic, but you can try customizing them by changing color schemes and playing with the available fonts.
If you don't need anything especially bold or creative, the service works well. Elements are placed neatly, fonts are used correctly for headings and body text, and the overall look feels clean and polished.
Editing & Layouting. While the tool comes with a fully fledged editor that lets you add shapes, charts, and even GIFs, it isn't the most intuitive to use. On the plus side, it includes an AI agent for refining slides, and it actually works quite well.
This example shows how you can use the AI agent to simplify content for audiences without a marketing background.
Pitch also offers several useful features that are uncommon in similar tools. In addition to using GIFs, you can add free icons and even record a video avatar that appears directly on the slide. You can also insert tables and charts not only from your own files, but directly from services like Google Analytics.
Exporting. You can run a slideshow directly in Pitch, share a presentation via link, or download a PDF with a subtle watermark. PPT export is only available on the Premium plan.
Pitch also supports real-time collaboration. You can invite teammates to edit the presentation together and assign slide statuses such as "Draft," "In Progress," or "Done."

Skywork.AI — Quick presentations in minutes

Pricing
Free plan: Includes 10 free downloads per month in various formats (DOCX, PPTX, PDF, Slides), with limited (~17) AI credits for generating or refining results.
Paid plans: From $19.99/month
Text generation. Skywork.AI doesn't just generate good copy—it supports content with statistics and factual information. Nearly every slide includes data points, making the output feel more professional and credible.
Another key advantage is speed. The tool is easy to get started with, performs well with both very short and highly specific prompts, and delivers results that need very little editing.
Visuals. From a classic presentation perspective, the visuals may initially feel unconventional. But in reality, the style is very modern and thoughtfully structured—using minimal text supported by visual cues like images, icons, infographics, color accents, etc.
This makes complex information easy to understand at a glance and feels far more coherent than traditional slides than the usual walls of text paired with oversized images.
Design & Templates. The tool doesn't really let you browse through templates or color palettes, but you can change the structure of any slide either manually using Advanced Editor or by asking the AI.
AI is another major advantage of the tool. No matter what setting you're working with, it feels like ChatGPT is right there with you as you build your presentation.
Editing & Layouting. Each slide allows for fairly flexible manual editing—you can edit text, upload custom images, add new slides, etc. You also get free AI credits that can be used to regenerate an entire slide or edit specific parts of it.

One strong point is that the tool works similarly to Gamma: When you edit something with AI, it actually analyzes the content and meaningfully adjusts the slides to match your requests.
Here's an example of asking the AI to remove a section of a slide about integration services that contained logos and names. It correctly removed the section without changing or damaging the rest of the content.
Exporting. Another huge plus is that you can download your presentation in various formats with no watermarks—even on the free plan.

How To Choose an AI Presentation Maker That's Right For You

1
Start with your main goal
Education. If you're creating a presentation for school or university, it's best to choose tools designed specifically for educational use. They typically build a clear structure quickly and keep explanations easy to understand.
Work. If you need to present data—tables, charts, and metrics—in a clear, easy-to-read way, choose tools that let you generate or upload tables and build charts in multiple ways, such as Presentsimple. It's also worth considering platforms that support team collaboration, with Pitch being a strong example.
Did you know?
On Tilda, any webpage can be easily turned into a slide presentation simply by adding a specific block.
Specific needs like investment pitching. For project or investor pitches—especially for startups—tools with a dedicated presentation structure are often the best choice, such as Slidebean. It's also important to check whether the platform lets you choose a professional or business-oriented tone for the text.
2
Decide how you want to work with text
Different AI tools offer different ways to work with text: Some let you upload finished content, while others ask for a topic, a rough draft, or even a link to a website.

If you need clear, high-quality explanations of complex topics, make sure the platform offers dedicated AI tools for refining the text after generation—such as shortening, expanding, rephrasing, etc.
3
Check image generation capabilities
The most advanced tools support multiple image sources, such as AI-generated visuals, stock photo libraries, image search, and uploading your own files. This is especially useful when you need specific, non-abstract visuals instead of generic illustrations.

4
Test editing, refinement, and "smart" features
If you're aiming for a pixel-perfect presentation and want to fine-tune every detail until it matches your vision, look for tools with a full-featured editor that lets you adjust everything—templates, layouts, text, images, and more—after generation. Keep in mind that this level of functionality usually requires a paid plan.

If that's not the case and you just need a rough draft or an MVP version of your presentation, almost any other service will do.
5
Consider free plan limitations
Right after signing up, before starting any work, check the restrictions of the free plan—such as usage limits, watermarks, or export limitations. Otherwise, you risk wasting time creating a presentation you won't be able to download in the desired format.
Pro Tip
If a service doesn't allow watermark-free downloads or limits exporting—and you need the presentation ASAP—open it in view mode, take screenshots of each slide, and combine them into a single PDF manually.

If preserving a standard presentation format is important, you can create a new file in PowerPoint or Google Slides, add blank slides, insert the screenshots as images, and export the result as a PPTX file.

Presentations Are Great—But What If You Need AI To Build a Website?

Five years ago, the idea of using AI to build a website felt unrealistic. Even two years ago, the results were often underwhelming and required a lot of manual work. But in 2026, the landscape has changed significantly: Many website builders now offer genuinely useful AI-powered features for creating websites.

These tools can be especially helpful if you need to launch quickly or don't have access to a designer or developer. AI website builders work well for founders, small businesses, freelancers, and creators who need a functional, presentable site without spending weeks on design and development. They can generate page structures, write basic copy, suggest layouts, and even create visuals based on a short description of your project.
AI website builders can also be helpful for generating landing pages for targeted and contextual campaigns, as well as one-pagers for early-stage MVPs and startups, fully fledged websites for personal portfolios, internal and passion projects, and much more.
Tilda also offers an AI website builder that you can use to generate all of the website types mentioned above, as well as handle many on-page tasks. For example, you can use it to find suitable imagery online, generate text in different tones, refine existing copy by expanding on a topic, and more.
