# DocSlide > DocSlide (https://docslide.com) is an AI presentation maker that converts documents - reports, PDFs, Word docs, Google Docs, and pasted text - into finished slide decks: structure, layouts, the document's own figures carried onto the slides as editable text (no chart objects are generated), and speaker notes with source section references, exported natively to PowerPoint (.pptx with real editable text boxes) and Google Slides. DocSlide is document-first, not prompt-first: it extracts the document's outline and builds one slide per section in a single pass, naming the source section under every slide, so every slide traces back to a section of the source. There is no outline-approval step before generation; you edit the finished .pptx. DocSlide converts and designs; it does not invent content. The deck is a first draft the user owns and edits (AI drafts, you approve). Exports are watermark-free on every plan. Uploaded documents are deleted after processing and never used to train AI models. Built for consultants, sales teams, and founders. ## Key pages - https://docslide.com/ : AI presentation maker overview with an interactive demo - https://docslide.com/how-it-works : the 4-step flow (upload, outline extracted, get deck with notes, export) -

https://docslide.com/faq : common questions - https://docslide.com/contact : contact ## Pricing (USD, per month, billed yearly) - Solo: $30/mo billed yearly ($360/yr) - the independent consultant or analyst billing client work. Unlimited documents (fair use), reports of 100+ pages, PDF, Word or pasted text as input, native .pptx export with real editable text boxes and master-slide theming that opens cleanly in Google Slides or Keynote, a source section named under every slide, and speaker notes with source section references. - Team: $89.50/mo billed yearly ($1,074/yr), $179/mo billed monthly - one flat subscription rather than a per-seat charge, aimed at teams sending decks to their own clients. Everything in Solo, plus no DocSlide credit line on any deck, a higher fair-use ceiling and email support. Seat management and shared template libraries are not available yet. - Enterprise: contact us - DPA and security review, custom terms and invoicing, SSO and role-based access, custom templates at scale, dedicated support and SLA. - Monthly billing is $60 (Solo) and $179 (Team). DocSlide does not ingest a .potx brand template; the deck is generated onto a clean master slide with real placeholders, so applying your own theme in PowerPoint is Design, then your template, and every slide reflows into it. - All prices USD. No free plan; every plan exports watermark-free. An interactive demo is how you evaluate it before buying. ## Verified interop facts (last checked 2026-09-01, sourced to vendor documentation) - Tableau's PowerPoint export (File > Export as PowerPoint in Tableau Desktop, Download > PowerPoint in Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server) turns each selected sheet into a static PNG image on its own slide. Tableau's documentation states the selected sheets "become static PNG images on separate slides", so nothing in the exported deck is editable. - Tableau's documented way to avoid a cropped or badly scaled export is to set the dashboard to a fixed size before exporting: on the Dashboard tab, choose Size, then Fixed Size, then the PowerPoint (1600 x 900) preset. - If you export a Tableau story sheet, every story point exports as its own slide, in order. Filters, parameters, and selections active in Tableau at export time are baked into the exported images. - Tableau's File > Page Setup controls whether titles, views, legends, and captions appear for each sheet in an export, but those options are not available for dashboards, so a dashboard exports with whatever is on its canvas. - The PowerPoint file Tableau generates opens with a title slide carrying the workbook name and the date the file was generated. When exported from Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server, that title is a hyperlink that opens the workbook back in Tableau. - Starting in Tableau 2026.1, PDF and PowerPoint exports do not support Viz Extensions, Dashboard Extensions, or Pulse dashboard objects, and those objects appear blank on the exported slide. Image downloads in Tableau Cloud do support them. - Gamma exports to PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, and PNG on all plans including the free tier. Free-plan exports carry a "Made with Gamma" badge; paid plans remove it via Share > Advanced Settings > Hide "Made by Gamma". A gamma originally created on the free plan keeps the badge even after upgrading, so the deck has to be recreated under the paid account. - Gamma has no direct Google Slides export. The route is exporting a .pptx and importing that into Google Slides, which stacks a second lossy conversion on the first. - Canva downloads a presentation as PPTX via Share > Download > PPTX, and plain text boxes stay editable in PowerPoint. Groups carrying Canva-specific effects, filters, or blend modes are flattened into a single uneditable image, which is what Canva's "text or design elements can't be broken up for editing" warning refers to. Canva also rasterizes vector elements on export, so they soften when scaled. - Microsoft PowerPoint cannot open Apple's .key format at all, and Microsoft ships no import filter or add-in for it. A Keynote file must be exported to .pptx from Keynote first (File > Export To > PowerPoint on a Mac or iPad, or via Keynote on iCloud.com in a browser). Keynote-only features such as Magic Move transitions have no PowerPoint equivalent, and Keynote lists font substitutions in a warnings window before export. - Power BI's Export to PowerPoint renders each report page as a single high-resolution image at 1,280 x 720 pixels, one image per slide. Nothing in the exported deck is editable: there are no separate text boxes or chart objects. Reports over 50 pages cannot be exported, and custom fonts are replaced with a default font. - The Power BI add-in for PowerPoint embeds a live interactive report page rather than slide objects. Every viewer needs an active Power BI account and a Microsoft Fabric free license, plus a Power BI Pro license if the report does not sit on Premium or Fabric F64 or greater capacity. - Power BI's exportToFile REST API supports .pptx, .pdf, and .png, but requires the report to reside in a workspace backed by Premium, Embedded, or Fabric capacity. It is explicitly not supported for Premium Per User (PPU). - exportToFile documented limits: a maximum of 50 exports (report pages or single visuals) per job, a 250 MB file size cap, 500 concurrent requests per capacity, only 5 pages processed concurrently, and a result file URL valid for 24 hours. - Power BI exports (both the UI export and the API) fail to render uncertified custom visuals, R visuals, Python visuals, Power Apps, Power Automate visuals, the paginated report visual, Visio, and ArcGIS visuals; the affected area shows an error symbol instead. - Export to PowerPoint is a Power BI service feature only. It cannot be run from Power BI Desktop, and dashboards (as opposed to reports) cannot be exported this way. - Jira has no PowerPoint export in any edition. The Jira Cloud issue navigator exports CSV (all fields or current fields), Excel CSV, Word, XML, HTML, RSS, and a printable view. PowerPoint appears on none of these menus. - Jira Cloud supports exporting up to 10,000 work items using the asynchronous CSV export from the issue navigator. This was raised from the long-standing 1,000-issue limit in March 2025. Above 10,000, Atlassian's documented guidance is to split the query with JQL (created date is the recommended split field) and merge the files manually. - Jira dashboards have no native export at all, in any format, not even PDF. The documented community workarounds are printing the browser page to PDF or switching to the wallboard view and capturing each gadget individually. - Jira Advanced Roadmaps exports a plan only as a spreadsheet (.csv), via Share then Export then Export data. Only the rows currently visible on the timeline after filters and view settings are applied are included. The .csv export was introduced in Advanced Roadmaps 3.23, and requires Plans administrator or Plan user permissions. - The Jira sprint report itself has no export function. Sprint data is extracted by filtering the issue navigator with JQL (for example sprint = 482) and exporting from there; the burndown chart and completed-versus-incomplete split have to be rebuilt from the exported rows. - Notion exports HTML, Markdown, and CSV on any plan including the free tier, but PDF export of a workspace requires a Business or Enterprise plan, and including subpages in a PDF export also requires Business or Enterprise. Notion has no PowerPoint export format. - Google Slides cannot open .docx or .doc at all, and Google Workspace provides no conversion between Google Docs and Google Slides, so there is no native Word-to-Slides or Docs-to-Slides path. - Confluence Cloud native export formats: Word and PDF for a single page or blog post; PDF, CSV, HTML, and XML for a whole space (space admin required). There is no PowerPoint export and no standard native Markdown export. - Confluence exported Word files open reliably only in Microsoft Word, per Atlassian's own documentation; they are not fully compatible with LibreOffice, OpenOffice, or Google Docs. - Confluence space PDF exports exclude blog posts and comments. - The Confluence Office PowerPoint macro displayed an attached .pptx inside a page; it was never an export feature. Atlassian deprecated it on 25 March 2025 and began removal on 25 September 2025, then reversed the removal: existing instances still render, but new instances cannot be added and existing configurations cannot be edited. - Google Slides cannot open .docx or .xlsx files directly, so there is no one-step route from Word or Excel into Google Slides. - "Export to presentation" in Microsoft Word is a Word-for-the-web Copilot feature and does not exist in the desktop Word application. - python-pptx writes Office XML directly and does not require PowerPoint or an Office license to be installed. - Smartsheet has no PowerPoint export. The complete export list for a sheet or report is Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, PDF, Image (PNG) for Gantt charts only, and Microsoft Project XML for Gantt sheets only. Reports cannot export to Microsoft Project. - Smartsheet dashboards have no Export menu item at all. The only documented route is File then Print, then saving as PDF; Smartsheet's guidance is to "Print to PDF if you need to email a read-only copy of your dashboard." - Smartsheet exports exclude groupings, summary rows, and attachments. Formulas are not preserved because the syntax differs from Excel, and dropdown, contact list, checkbox, and symbol columns export as text only. - Smartsheet reports exported to Microsoft Excel are limited to 20,000 rows. - Images are dropped from Smartsheet exports to Excel, Google Sheets, and Microsoft Project, and are replaced by the image's alt text in the cell. A PDF print includes only the first 100 images. - Exporting a Smartsheet Gantt sheet to Excel or Google Sheets yields the task list only, not the chart. PNG is the only image export and it is available for Gantt charts only. - Smartsheet recommends Chrome or Safari for dashboard printing. In Chrome, Background Graphics must be enabled under More Options or widget background colors print white. - A published Smartsheet dashboard refreshes once every 10 minutes, and recipients without a Member seat may be limited to view-only access regardless of assigned permission level. - Google Slides presentations converted from an uploaded file cannot exceed 100 MB. - Speaker notes survive a Google Slides download to .pptx, but comments are stripped. Charts linked from Google Sheets arrive as static images, and Drive-hosted video does not embed. - Google's Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) offers exactly two Slide Deck download options in the three dots menu: "Download PDF Document (.pdf)" and "Download PowerPoint (.pptx)". There is no Google Slides export and no PowerPoint add-in. - Google describes the NotebookLM / Gemini Notebook Slide Deck feature as powered by its Nano Banana Pro image model, so each slide is rendered as a picture. The .pptx download wraps those renders rather than reconstructing text boxes, which is why the exported slides cannot be edited in PowerPoint. - Gemini Notebook offers two Slide Deck formats: a Detailed Deck, "a comprehensive deck with full text and details, perfect for emailing or reading on its own", and Presenter Slides, "clean, visual slide decks with key talking points to support you while you speak". - Generating or deleting a Gemini Notebook Slide Deck requires edit access to the notebook, generation may take multiple minutes, and the feature is restricted to users over 18. - Gemini Notebook applies quota limits to the total number of slide decks you can revise. AI Ultra subscribers get longer decks and twice the limits. - When you revise a Gemini Notebook Slide Deck, your sources are not taken into account during the revision, so revisions can drift from the source material. Google states the output may contain visual or factual inaccuracies. - Microsoft has deprecated the "Export to PowerPoint presentation" feature in Word for the web. Its support page states the option "is being deprecated" and that after retirement "the feature will no longer be accessible on Microsoft Word." The feature was English-only, supported text-only documents with headings, was unavailable in Safari and Internet Explorer, and saved output to the OneDrive root folder. - PowerPoint's built-in outline import (Home > New Slide > Slides from Outline) reads Word heading styles only. Text formatted to look like a heading without the style applied is ignored, and images, tables, and charts are not imported at all. - Acrobat Pro's PDF to PowerPoint export positions recovered text boxes to mirror the PDF page, so they reflow when edited, and charts and diagrams come across as flat images regardless. - A scanned PDF has no text layer, so no converter can recover editable text from it without OCR first. OCR accuracy sets the ceiling, and OCR engines misread digits considerably more often than letters. - Google does NOT publish a numeric limit for Gemini Notebook / NotebookLM Slide Decks. Its plan comparison table gives exact figures for sources per notebook (50 on Standard, 100 on Plus, 300 on Pro, 500 and 600 on the two Ultra tiers) and for chats per day (50, 200, 500, 2.5K, 5K), but describes Slide Decks, Infographics and Data Tables only qualitatively: "Limited" on Standard, "More limits" on Plus, "High limits" on Pro, "Higher limits" and "Highest limits" on Ultra. There is no published number to plan a workflow against. - Gemini Notebook allows unlimited revisions to individual slides within a deck, but applies quota limits to the total number of decks you can revise. These are two different limits and are commonly confused. - Notion is removing PDF export for whole-workspace content. Its help documentation states "The option to export workspace content as a PDF is going away" and that the change rolls out to workspaces gradually through August 31, 2026. Page-level PDF export is unaffected. - Notion page exports come in three formats and they are not interchangeable: Markdown & CSV (any non-database page exports as Markdown, full-page databases export as CSV with Markdown files for each subpage), PDF, and HTML. HTML is the only format that can also carry comments, at both page and block level. Custom emojis do not appear in PDF exports. - Notion workspace exports can take up to 30 hours to process, and the resulting download link expires after 7 days. - Canva's .pptx download does produce real, editable PowerPoint text boxes for plain text. It degrades unevenly: Canva-specific fonts are substituted by PowerPoint, text carrying Canva effects (curve, shadow, outline) and groups with effects applied are frequently flattened to a single image, charts arrive as pictures with no underlying data, and animations, page transitions, video and audio do not survive the translation. - Canva's PowerPoint import documentation states that when a PowerPoint file is a scan of documents or designs, Canva "can only process it as a flat or merged image, and its text or design elements can't be broken up for editing." This applies to import, not to export. - Gamma exports to exactly three formats: PDF, PNG and PowerPoint (PPTX), reached via Share > Export or the three-dot menu, with an image quality slider controlling image resolution and file size. There is no native Word, Google Slides, Keynote or Canva export; each of those requires routing through the .pptx or the PDF. - Gamma states that "exported content will match how it appears in Present Mode, not Edit Mode". Presenting a Gamma deck once before exporting therefore shows you exactly what PowerPoint will receive. - Gamma embeds theme fonts directly into the exported .pptx, but notes that italic text uses a slanted version of the regular font rather than a true italic font file. - Gamma documents two specific fidelity fallbacks in its exports: gradient headings "may render differently or default to a single colour", and frosted backgrounds "may use fallback styles in PDF and PowerPoint exports". It does not publish which themes trigger either fallback. - Gamma is built on a scrollable card system rather than fixed 16:9 slides, and states that some formatting adjustments may be needed after export. Interactive elements such as expandable sections and embedded media do not carry over into static exports. - Gamma's export documentation never addresses editability. It covers formats, colors, fonts, image quality and interactivity, but never states which exported slides arrive as editable PowerPoint text boxes and which arrive as flat pictures, which is the only property that determines whether the export saves work. - Gamma applies a "Made with Gamma" logo to presentations exported from free accounts; Plus and Pro users can export without the watermark. - Google Slides can hold a live link to a Google Sheets chart (Insert > Chart > From Sheets, with an Update button when the source changes) but cannot hold a live link to an Excel file. Getting a self-updating chart from Excel data therefore requires converting the workbook to Google Sheets first. - Google publishes no Gemini add-in, plugin or extension for Microsoft PowerPoint. Gemini runs inside Google Slides, inside the Gemini app and inside Gemini Enterprise, and there is no setting inside PowerPoint that enables it. Office add-ins carrying the Gemini name are built by third parties on Google's API, carry their own subscription, and are not covered by a Workspace administrator's controls or data terms. - Gemini in Google Slides has two distinct generation features with different scopes. Google states of the single-slide feature that "You can only generate one slide at a time". Multi-slide presentation generation is a separate feature announced on June 29 2026 and described by Google as producing "fully native and editable" presentations. - Eligibility for generating a full presentation with Gemini in Google Slides covers Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, Google AI Pro and Ultra, Google AI Pro for Education, and the AI Expanded Access add-on. Business Starter is absent from that list. - The eligibility lists for the two main Gemini deck routes invert. Google's Gemini app presentation generation lists Business Starter, Essentials, Enterprise Starter, Education and Nonprofits among eligible tiers, so a Business Starter customer can generate a presentation in the Gemini app while remaining ineligible for the equivalent feature inside Google Slides. - The Gemini app offers a single export destination for a generated presentation. Google's announcement states you can "export the presentation from the Gemini app directly to Google Slides". Microsoft PowerPoint is not offered as an export target from the Gemini app. - Gemini Enterprise Canvas is the one documented Google route that writes PowerPoint directly. Google lists slide export as "Google Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint, or PDF", available on Gemini Enterprise Business, Standard and Plus, and states that "Only Global, EU, and US regions are supported". - Images generated by Gemini in Google Slides carry a documented usage restriction: Google states that generated images "are for use only within Google Slides". Downloading the deck as a .pptx moves those images outside the environment Google licenses them for, and the export flow gives no warning. - Gemini generation features in Google Slides are, in Google's words, "currently available on desktop and in English only", and Google's single-slide documentation additionally requires the user to "Be 18 or over". - Google has not published the standing per-user usage limits for multi-slide generation in Google Slides. Its June 2026 announcement granted promotional higher limits "through at least August 1, 2026" and deferred the permanent numbers to the Help Center; as of 2026-08-16 that date has passed and the Help Center documents eligibility and language restrictions rather than a slide or presentation quota. - Canva's documented cause for the message "its text or design elements can't be broken up for editing" is that the source is a scan of a document or design, which Canva can process only as a flat or merged image. The same wording is reported in the export direction for groups using Canva-specific effects, filters or blend modes, which arrive in a .pptx as a single flattened picture. - Gamma has no direct Google Slides export. Its help material lists Google Slides among the export destinations but qualifies it as available "via PPTX upload", so the real route is Gamma writes a .pptx and Google Slides reads it: two conversions, not one export. - Gamma's full set of export destinations is PDF, PNG, PowerPoint (.pptx), Google Slides via a PPTX upload, and direct posting to LinkedIn. - Gamma's documentation states that Google Slides "ignores fonts embedded in an uploaded PowerPoint file and substitutes its own", and adds that this "is a Google Slides limitation, not a Gamma one". Both statements are accurate, which is why the gap between the two products is nobody's bug to fix. - Gamma's improved PowerPoint export embeds typefaces into the file automatically: "Fonts are now embedded automatically so you don't have to download them". This protects the deck in PowerPoint and protects nothing in Google Slides, which discards the embedding on import. The identical .pptx therefore renders correctly in PowerPoint and incorrectly in Google Slides, with no error in either. - Gamma's PowerPoint export changelog also records that "Content will scale better to fit the slide instead of overflowing", that "Text wrapping and positioning is more predictable", that "Backgrounds are now part of the slide master and don't get in the way when editing", and that "Font sizes are now round numbers for easier editing in PPT". - Because Gamma computes its scale-to-fit against the font it embedded, a Google Slides import recalculates that fit against a substituted typeface with different character widths, so text Gamma had sized to fit a card can overflow again on the far side. Text-dense Gamma cards are the highest-risk element in the transfer. - Gamma documents two visual degradations that happen at export time regardless of destination: gradient headings "May render differently or default to a single colour in export", and some advanced visual effects such as frosted overlays "may still use fallback styles". - PowerPoint's Paste Special dialog opens with Ctrl+Alt+V in PowerPoint, Word and Excel alike. When pasting a Word table into PowerPoint it offers Use Destination Theme (restyles the table to the deck), Keep Source Formatting (preserves the Word look), Picture, and Keep Text Only. The first two produce a native, still-editable PowerPoint table. - PowerPoint's Picture paste option converts pasted content into an image that matches the source exactly and whose text can no longer be edited. Pasting a Word table this way makes every figure in it uncorrectable without redoing the paste from Word, which is why it is the wrong default for any deck that gets reused or updated. - Gamma sells six subscription tiers: Free, Plus, Pro, Ultra, Teams and Business. Its help center states the monthly AI credit allowances directly for three of them: Plus 1,000 credits, Pro 4,000 and Ultra 20,000. Teams and Business are not stated, but Gamma publishes their rollover ceilings as 12,000 and 20,000, which implies 6,000 and 10,000 monthly under Gamma's documented rule that unused credits "rollover up to double the plan size". (developers.gamma.app and help.gamma.app, verified 2026-09-01) - Gamma credits do not refresh on the Free plan. Gamma states that on Free "credits do not refresh" and that more must be earned through referrals at 200 credits each or by upgrading; free accounts can hold up to 2,000 credits per user. On paid plans, monthly and annual alike, "credits will refill monthly", and annual plans issue credits monthly rather than all upfront. - Gamma's only published dollar-to-credit conversion is its top-up rate: 1,500 credits for $6, sold in increments of 1,500 only, and available to paid subscribers only. That values one credit at roughly $0.004. Free users cannot purchase credits at all. - Gamma meters presentation generation at 1 to 3 credits per card, and states the rate "varies by the text generation model Gamma selects internally", a model the buyer neither chooses nor is shown. AI images are charged separately by model tier: Standard 2 to 15 credits per image, Advanced 20 to 33, Premium 34 to 75, Ultra 30 to 125. - Gamma's own illustrative cost scenarios: a deck with 10 cards and 5 images on a basic image model is "~20-60 credits"; a doc with 20 cards and 15 images on a premium model is "~320-1070 credits"; socials with 30 cards and 30 images on an ultra model is "~930-3900 credits". The middle example spans a 3.3x range for one described document. - Gamma states that "credit consumption rates and the actions that consume credits are subject to change", and separately that "you will not be charged credits for errors or clarification requests". - Gamma API keys are gated by plan. Gamma's developer documentation states that "API keys are available on Pro, Ultra, Teams, and Business plans", excluding Free and Plus. The ChatGPT and Claude connectors are the exception: they are "available on all plans, including Free and Plus. No API key required", and they charge credits at the same rate as API calls. - Gamma credits are held per user, not per workspace. Gamma states that credits are "assigned at the user level" and that "each workspace member has their own balance", and that an OAuth token's requests "consume the authorizing user's credits". One-time credit purchases are available "only in single-user workspaces"; multi-user workspaces must use auto-recharge. - Gamma bills per member on all paid plans. Its help center example is explicit: on "the $20/month plan" with 2 users the "total monthly bill will be $40". It also warns that charges for added users may still be collected after those users are removed, settling on the next billing cycle. - The Gamma API export endpoint accepts exactly three formats. POST /v1.0/gammas/{gammaId}/export takes an exportAs enum whose permitted values are pdf, png and pptx, confirming at the API level that Gamma offers no Google Slides, Word or Keynote target. The endpoint documents a 403 "Feature not available for workspace", so export access is plan-dependent. - Gamma's Free plan generates up to 10 slides in a single prompt with 50k input tokens; Plus raises this to 100 slides and 100,000 input tokens and removes the "Made with Gamma" badge. Pro adds API access, premium image models, custom fonts and detailed analytics; Ultra adds ultra image models and 20,000 monthly credits. - Gamma's template-based generations cost more than standard ones. Its developer docs state that POST /generations/from-template "may cost slightly more per card than standard generations", without publishing the difference. ## Contact team@docslide.com - Microsoft documents Copilot in PowerPoint as generating a presentation "based on the content of an existing Word document, with support for one file at a time". Microsoft 365 Copilot licensees "can also use PDFs and encrypted documents". Excel is absent from that documented source list at every licensing tier. - The only number Microsoft publishes for Copilot presentation generation is a file-weight guideline: Copilot "works best with Word documents that are smaller than 24 MB". - Microsoft states that Copilot "is currently limited in the number of words it can process per prompt" but never publishes that number. This is the undocumented limit behind decks that generate successfully and silently stop covering the source partway through. - Microsoft states that "when creating a presentation by referencing a file, additional context cannot be provided within the same prompt". You can hand Copilot a source file or steering instructions, never both in one prompt. - Microsoft states that "when creating a presentation using a prompt, only a single output language is supported at a time", and that PowerPoint Design Suggestions officially support the en-US locale only. - Images on a Copilot-generated deck do not come from your document. Microsoft states that Copilot in PowerPoint "pulls images that are licensed for Microsoft within the PowerPoint context" and "is also able to generate images using the content on slides", so a table in the source file arrives as summarized text or stock imagery rather than as a chart. - Microsoft states that you "must have access to and permission to use the file you're referencing to create a presentation", so a local copy of a document owned by another tenant is not sufficient. - Microsoft's Copilot in PowerPoint Rewrite feature works "only on textboxes and not on shapes or other objects", and Microsoft notes that support for referencing files is "coming soon to Agent Mode". - Microsoft's own pricing page lists Microsoft 365 Copilot Business at $18.00 per user per month paid yearly, promotional from $21.00 through December 31 2026 (Microsoft extended the promotion from its original September 30 2026 end date; re-verified 2026-08-27) and applying to the first year only, and states that "a separate license for a qualifying Microsoft 365 plan is required to purchase Microsoft 365 Copilot" with an annual commitment. - Microsoft states that if you do not see Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint or OneNote, "it might not be included with your Microsoft 365 subscription or available based on your organization's settings", so a missing Copilot button is a licensing or tenant-policy condition rather than an installation fault. - Microsoft describes the output of the Create a presentation feature as "AI-generated content" that "should be human-reviewed and edited accordingly". - Anthropic documents Claude for PowerPoint as "generally available to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans". The add-in is not available on the Free plan, and it is installed from the Microsoft AppSource listing named "Claude for Microsoft 365" rather than from Claude. - Anthropic publishes exact version floors for Claude for PowerPoint: PowerPoint on the web, PowerPoint on Windows "with a Microsoft 365 subscription, build 16.0.13127.20296 or later", and PowerPoint on Mac "version 16.46 or later". - Anthropic names four environments where Claude for PowerPoint does not run at all: "PowerPoint 2016 and 2019 perpetual or volume license", "PowerPoint on iPad", "PowerPoint on Android", and "older builds of Microsoft 365 PowerPoint below the SharedRuntime threshold". A perpetual-license organization has no route to the add-in without moving to Microsoft 365 subscriptions. - File creation inside an ordinary Claude conversation is a separate capability from the add-in. Anthropic states Claude "can create Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx), PowerPoint presentations (.pptx), Word documents (.docx), and PDF files", that it "is available to all Claude users (Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise) on the web, Claude Desktop, and Claude Mobile", and that "the maximum file size is 30MB per file for both uploads and downloads". - Anthropic notes that "creating files will use more of your limit compared to normal chats", so generating decks consumes plan allowance faster than conversation does. - Claude for PowerPoint produces editable objects rather than images. Anthropic describes it as converting bullets into "editable native PowerPoint charts" and states that Claude "reads the slide master, layouts, fonts, and color scheme in your deck" when generating or editing slides. - Claude for PowerPoint carries a documented compliance gap: Anthropic states it "does not inherit custom data retention settings your organization might have set" and that "activity is not included in Enterprise audit logs or the Compliance API". Chat history is "stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB", is "not stored on Anthropic's servers", and is "not synced across devices". - Anthropic publishes a prompt-injection warning for Claude for PowerPoint: "Only use Claude for PowerPoint with trusted files", and states that testing "identified scenarios where Claude for PowerPoint can be manipulated to extract sensitive information, modify critical data, or perform destructive actions if allowed to act without verification". - Persistent instructions in Claude for Microsoft 365 do not travel between apps. Anthropic states that "instructions you set in PowerPoint only apply to PowerPoint" and are "separate from Instructions you set in Excel or Word", even though the add-in shares conversation context across PowerPoint, Excel, Word and Outlook. - Claude for Microsoft 365 exposes "a curated subset of the Claude models", so the model list inside the add-in can be shorter than the one on Claude.ai, and an organization's model access settings apply on top of that. - Admin deployment of Claude for PowerPoint fails outright under Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management: Anthropic documents that "the Integrated apps page does not recognize roles activated through PIM, so deployment fails", referencing Microsoft tracking ID 11126536, and the workaround is a permanently active admin role rather than a PIM-eligible one. - Anthropic states Claude for PowerPoint is not recommended for "final client deliverables without human review", for "presentations containing highly sensitive or regulated data without proper controls", or for "replacing your judgment on design and narrative flow". - Microsoft's support page for exporting Word documents to PowerPoint carries a deprecation notice: "The option to export Word to PowerPoint presentations is being deprecated. After its retirement, the feature will no longer be accessible on Microsoft Word." Microsoft has published no retirement date and made no formal announcement. - The Export to PowerPoint presentation command never existed in desktop Word. Microsoft documents it as "available in Word for the web to the First Release audience", so no Microsoft 365 plan adds it to Word for Windows or Word for Mac. - While it worked, Microsoft's Word to PowerPoint export was fenced in three ways it documented: "This feature is currently only available in English", "This feature is not available in the Internet Explorer or Safari browsers", and "We only support text content for the transformation to presentation, other media content support is not currently available". - PowerPoint's outline import accepts different formats per platform. Microsoft states "PowerPoint can import an outline in .docx, .rtf, or .txt format", but also that "In PowerPoint for macOS, you can only import Word documents that are saved in Rich Text Format", so a .docx greys out in the picker on a Mac. - The outline import does not exist in browser PowerPoint at all. Microsoft states "Creating a presentation from an outline isn't support in PowerPoint for the web. It requires a desktop version of PowerPoint." (The typo is Microsoft's.) Combined with the export deprecation, a Mac user working entirely in Office on the web has no Microsoft-supported route from a Word document to a deck without a Copilot license. - PowerPoint's outline import is driven by Heading styles, not visual formatting. Microsoft describes the mapping as "Level 1 for slide titles, Level 2 for bullet points on that slide". A document with no Heading styles is not rejected: PowerPoint creates one slide per paragraph. - For a plain text outline Microsoft's rule is indentation based: "Use indents to indicate heading levels. Remember that any unindented lines of text will become titles of new slides." - The PowerPoint outline import moves text only. Tables, images, charts, and text inside text boxes or shapes are not carried across, and body paragraphs with no heading style are dropped silently. - Canva's warning that a file's "text or design elements can't be broken up for editing" is an import-side message, not an export one. Canva's help center attributes it to the source file being image based: "If your PowerPoint is a scan of documents or designs, Canva can only process it as a flat or merged image, and its text or design elements can't be broken up for editing." - Gamma's help center does not document its export overflow warning and publishes no per-card content limit, so there is no documented threshold at which a card stops fitting a fixed 16:9 slide. - Canva has no Google Slides export. Canva's download menu covers PDF (Standard, Print and Compress), JPEG, PNG, GIF, PPTX, MP4 and CSV, with PPTX documented as available for presentations only. Google Slides is not among them, so every published method is the same workaround: download .pptx, upload to Google Drive, open with Google Slides. - That workaround is two independent conversions, not one. Canva's exporter writes a .pptx with no knowledge of Google Slides, and Google's importer reads it with no knowledge of Canva, so losses at each end are unowned. Damage from the first hop cannot be repaired by the second: an element rasterized by Canva arrives in Google Slides as a bitmap with nothing left to reconstruct. - Google documents a hard ceiling on the destination side: "Up to 100 MB for presentations converted to Google Slides." Canva exports approach it unusually often, because rasterizing vector artwork into bitmaps is precisely what inflates file size, so an image-heavy Canva deck can fail the Google Slides import outright rather than arriving degraded. - Fonts are substituted twice on the Canva to Google Slides route. Canva substitutes on export for fonts it cannot rely on the opening machine having, and Google Slides substitutes again because it renders from the Google Fonts library rather than from locally installed fonts, commonly falling back to Arial. The only fonts that survive untouched are those present in both Canva's library and Google Fonts. - A licensed corporate font uploaded to a Canva Brand Kit cannot survive into Google Slides under any configuration. Google Slides loads type from the Google Fonts catalog through its More fonts picker and provides no mechanism for a user to supply a font file, so a brand that depends on a licensed typeface cannot be fully reproduced in a Google Slides deck. - Canva documents several of its own export inconsistencies: some line elements "are not designed for consistent export" and can change length or alignment when downloaded, text boxes can resize slightly during download, and extra spaces inside a text box change how text wraps in the exported file. - Google publishes no list of what is lost when a PowerPoint file is converted to Google Slides. Its "Switch from Microsoft PowerPoint to Google Slides" guidance describes only the mechanics (double-click the file in Drive, then Open with Google Slides) and documents no unsupported-feature list, no font substitution behavior and no animation handling. - Decktopus pricing verified August 2026: a free tier exists with limited templates and branding, Pro is $14.99 per month and includes 750 AI credits described by Decktopus as roughly 25 presentations, and Business is $34.99 per user per month, which is the only tier with real-time collaboration and brand colors and fonts. - NotebookLM was renamed Gemini Notebook on 16 July 2026, and the enterprise edition became Gemini Notebook Enterprise. It is the same product with the same Slide Deck feature, so documentation and community threads written under either name describe the same behavior. - Gemini Notebook (NotebookLM) has no Google Slides export. Google's "Generate a Slide Deck" help page documents exactly two download options in the three-dots menu on a finished deck, "Download PDF Document (.pdf)" and "Download PowerPoint (.pptx)". No Google Slides destination appears anywhere in the product, which means Google's own notebook tool cannot send a deck to Google's own presentation app. - Google announced that gap as temporary and it has not closed. When the PowerPoint export shipped in February 2026, the NotebookLM account announced it with the words "PPTX Support: You can now export your Slide Decks (Google Slides coming next!)". As of August 2026 the Google Slides option has still not appeared, so the only route remains download .pptx, upload to Google Drive, then Open with Google Slides. - Before February 2026 a NotebookLM Slide Deck could only be exported as PDF. The .pptx download was added in the same release as prompt-based per-slide revisions. - Google documents two Slide Deck formats: "Detailed Deck", which carries the full text, and "Presenter Slides", which carries key talking points only. - Google warns that Slide Deck revisions do not consult your material: "At this time, sources are not taken into account during revisions." Repeated revisions can therefore drift away from the documents the deck was built from, with no warning in the interface. - Google documents that "Every time you generate a revision, Gemini Notebook creates an entirely new slide deck", and recommends grouping edits together. Individual slide revisions are unlimited, but quota limits apply to the total number of slide decks you can revise. - There is no self-serve consumer NotebookLM API. The consumer product issues no API key and documents no programmatic access. Google Cloud documents notebook APIs only under Gemini Notebook Enterprise, covering notebooks and sources, with some capabilities marked Preview rather than GA. - Slide deck generation is not a documented Gemini Notebook API operation. Google's Gemini Enterprise release notes record on 19 May 2026 that "You can create slide decks and infographics using Google NotebookLM Enterprise. This feature is generally available (GA)", but that entry describes the feature arriving in the product, not an endpoint. The input side automates; the output side does not. - Google deprecated the Podcast API on 20 May 2026, stating it "isn't allowlisting new customers". A team planning automation on top of these APIs should weigh that against the still-unshipped Google Slides export before committing. - Slide decks are region-restricted in the enterprise product. Google's Gemini Enterprise release notes dated 3 June 2026 state that the Discover Sources feature and Studio features, "such as audio overview, slide deck, infographic, video overview, mind map, and reports, are not MLP compliant" in the EU region. US-only teams are unaffected; US companies with EU entities should confirm with their admin. - Keynote for Mac offers exactly seven export destinations in File > Export To: PDF, PowerPoint, Movie, Animated GIF, Images, HTML and Keynote '09. Google Slides is not among them, and no Google Slides destination exists anywhere in the product. - Apple's Keynote export documentation states only that the exported files "can be opened and edited by Microsoft PowerPoint in .pptx format". It publishes no list of features that change or are lost on export. The behaviour is described mainly by users in Apple's own discussion forums. - Google Slides cannot open an Apple Keynote file. Google's "Files you can store in Google Drive" documentation lists .key in its Apple section as an editor file (.key, .numbers), a type Drive stores and can preview, and .key is absent from the presentation formats Drive converts into Google Slides. - Because Drive previews a .key file, users routinely believe it opened. The preview is a rendering, not an editable presentation, and Drive's Open with menu never offers Google Slides for a .key. - Google documents one hard ceiling for the far end of this route: "Up to 100 MB for presentations converted to Google Slides." It is the only published number in the entire Keynote to Google Slides path, and the only failure in that path that produces a visible error rather than a silently wrong deck. - Keynote to Google Slides requires two conversions performed by two vendors, and the losses compound because the second hop cannot repair what the first dropped. Magic Move, the transition Keynote is chosen for, has no PowerPoint equivalent to be handed to, and Morph, PowerPoint's nearest concept, is itself unsupported in Google Slides and is replaced with a basic transition. The single most distinctive element of a Keynote deck therefore has two independent chances to be lost and is documented by neither vendor. - Keynote exports real PowerPoint text boxes, so text stays editable through both hops of the Keynote to Google Slides route. This is a material difference from Canva and NotebookLM decks, which arrive as flattened images with no text to edit. What the Keynote route damages is layout, fonts and motion, not the words. - Google Slides does not support motion paths or animation delays and does not fire PowerPoint triggers, so animation timing that was precise in a .pptx is simplified or removed on import, with no warning and no error. - Google Docs cannot export to PowerPoint. Google's Drive API export-formats reference, the most complete enumeration Google publishes of what its own converters emit, gives a Google Docs document exactly eight export targets: Microsoft Word, OpenDocument, Rich Text, PDF, Plain Text, Web Page (HTML), EPUB and Markdown. The PowerPoint MIME type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation appears in that reference under presentations only. - The same reference gives Google Slides exactly four export targets: Microsoft PowerPoint, ODP, PDF and Plain Text. The asymmetry is architectural rather than commercial: Google emits both open and Microsoft presentation formats, just never from a document. Google publishes no note, error or greyed-out menu item acknowledging that a Doc cannot become a deck. - PowerPoint's Slides from Outline import (Insert, New Slide, Slides from Outline) reads heading structure only. Every table, image and chart in the source document is dropped without a warning, and a document without a disciplined heading hierarchy collapses into a single slide. This is the free Google Docs to PowerPoint route and the reason it is not a deliverable. - Gemini in Google Slides can now build a deck from a document, but it generates rather than converts. Google announced on 29 June 2026 that you can "create a full, multi-slide presentation using Gemini in Google Slides", and that with a single prompt you can "ground the presentation in existing content from Google Drive, match the style of another presentation, and build fully editable slides". Because it writes new slide copy from the source, approved or legally reviewed wording does not survive verbatim. - Google's two presentation-generation features have eligibility lists that invert, and Google reconciles them nowhere. Gemini in Google Slides is listed for Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise Standard and Plus, Google AI Pro and Ultra, Google AI Pro for Education and AI Expanded Access; Business Starter is absent. Generating a presentation in the separate Gemini app, which Google says lets you "export the presentation from the Gemini app directly to Google Slides", is listed for "Business Starter, Standard and Plus; Enterprise Starter, Standard and Plus; Essentials, Enterprise Essentials and Enterprise Essentials Plus; Education Fundamentals, Standard and Plus; Nonprofits". A Business Starter customer is therefore locked out of the in-Slides feature and eligible for the Gemini app one that lands content in the same place. - Microsoft sells two very different Copilot SKUs and most comparisons cite only the expensive one. Microsoft's business pricing page lists Microsoft 365 Copilot Business at "$18.00 user/month, paid yearly", promotional from $21.00, Microsoft extended that promotion, which its business pricing page showed running July 1 to December 31, 2026 (re-checked 2026-08-26), with an annual commitment and the discount applying to the first year only. The monthly-billed rate for Copilot Business is listed at $25.20 user/month. The enterprise add-on remains "$30.00 user/month, paid yearly" or $31.50 paid monthly on an annual commitment. - The Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on price did not rise in 2026, but the required base suites did on 1 July 2026, E3 from $36 to $39 and E5 from $57 to $60 per user per month, so the all-in cost of every Copilot seat increased. Microsoft states that "a separate license for a qualifying Microsoft 365 plan is required", so the add-on price is never the total. - Canva pricing, checked August 2026 against multiple independent sources because canva.com blocks automated retrieval and no single source is authoritative: Canva Pro is reported at about $18 per month and Canva Business (formerly Teams) at about $25 per user per month with no seat minimum. Canva has raised these twice since 2024, so any source quoting $12.99 Pro or $10 per user Teams with a three-seat minimum is out of date. - OneNote has no PowerPoint export on any platform. Microsoft's documented export steps for OneNote for Windows are "Select the File tab. Select Export. Under Export Current, select what part of the notebook you want to save as PDF. Under Select Format, select PDF (*.pdf)". PowerPoint appears on no OneNote export menu. - OneNote for the web cannot bulk export. Microsoft states you "can't export an entire notebook or section to PDF" there and "can print only one page at a time". Only the Windows desktop app can export a whole section or notebook in one action. - The Microsoft Graph OneNote API returns notes as HTML only. The onenotePage resource exposes exactly one content property, content, documented as "The page's HTML content", plus contentUrl, "The URL for the page's HTML content". Its four methods are Get page, Update page, Delete page and Copy to section. There is no format parameter and no convert or export operation, which is an enumeration proving the absence. - Microsoft states that "The Microsoft Graph OneNote API doesn't support app-only authentication", so a service account cannot run an unattended tenant-wide job over OneNote notebooks. Every call requires a signed-in user context. - Microsoft's route from a notebook to a deck is generation, not conversion. Microsoft says you can "Create documents and presentations directly from your notebook with Word and PowerPoint agents that use references already in your workspace", and that the PowerPoint agent "creates a fully editable PowerPoint file as its output". It drafts new slides from your notes rather than converting them, so exact wording is rewritten. - Copilot Notebooks can now take a whole notebook as input: Microsoft states you can "bring a whole OneNote notebook for Copilot to leverage" rather than individual pages. - The Copilot Notebooks creation features arrived through the Frontier program, Microsoft's early-access channel for capabilities before they reach general availability. It is gated by a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and managed at tenant level, so an admin controls which users get it. - Google publishes no slide count for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook) Slide Decks. Its help page documents a length control, "short, default, or long", and two formats: a Detailed Deck, "a comprehensive deck with full text and details, perfect for emailing or reading on its own", and Presenter Slides, "clean, visual slide decks with key talking points to support you while you speak". Downloads remain "Download PDF Document (.pdf)" or "Download PowerPoint (.pptx)". - SlidesAI caps input per presentation, and money does not lift it: 1000 characters on the free Basic tier, 6000 on Pro ($10.00/month billed $120/year) and 12000 on Premium ($20.83/month billed $250/year), roughly 2000 words at the top of the range. Verified against slidesai.io in August 2026. - SlidesGPT meters finished files rather than decks. Pro is $9.99/month, or $7.49/month billed $89.99 annually, for 10 downloads a month; Pro XL is $29.99/month, or $22.50 annually, for 50. Its Team tier is priced in euros at 10 euros per seat per month, and an Enterprise tier offers on-premise deployment. Verified against slidesgpt.com in August 2026. - Figma Slides does export PowerPoint natively. The documented path is Main menu, then File, then "Export slides to", setting File type to PPTX. Figma lists exporting an entire slide deck as available on any plan, so the export itself is not paywalled. Verified against help.figma.com in August 2026. - Figma documents exactly three losses when exporting Figma Slides to PPTX: if a font is not available in PowerPoint "the text layer will be updated to use the default PowerPoint font"; "live interactions and code blocks will be exported as static images"; and "gradient fills will be changed to solid color fills". No other outbound limitations are documented. - Figma's font caveat is evidence that text survives the PPTX export as real text rather than as flattened images, because a substitution applied to "the text layer" only makes sense if a text layer exists in the output. Figma does not state this explicitly, so it is an inference from its own wording rather than a documented guarantee. - Figma Slides to PowerPoint cannot be automated or batched. Figma's official REST API specification (github.com/figma/rest-api-spec, openapi.yaml) enumerates the format parameter on the getImages endpoint, GET /v1/images/:key, as exactly jpg, png, svg and pdf, defaulting to png. The strings pptx and powerpoint appear zero times in the entire 400,016-byte specification. Checked 2026-08-26. - The Figma Slides round trip is lossy in both directions and Figma publishes both loss lists. Importing PowerPoint into Figma Slides documents five losses: all text layers become Figma's default font Inter, videos must be re-uploaded, animations must be rebuilt, and tables and diagrams do not carry across. Figma's own advice for both tables and diagrams is that you "can recreate the table, or take a screenshot of the original table and upload it as an image". - Font substitution therefore happens twice on a PowerPoint to Figma Slides to PowerPoint round trip: first to Inter on import, then to PowerPoint's default on export. A table that entered as a screenshot leaves as a screenshot, so a figure needing correction is now a picture. - Importing PowerPoint files into Figma Slides is available on any plan. Figma documents no file size or slide count limit for the import, noting only that "depending on the file size, the import process may take a few seconds". - Figma seat pricing verified against figma.com/pricing in August 2026: Professional is $16/month Full seat, $12 Dev, $3 Collab; Organization (annual only) is $55 Full, $25 Dev, $5 Collab; Enterprise (annual only) is $90 Full, $35 Dev, $5 Collab. - A Collab seat covers editing Figma Slides, but not design mode inside Slides. Figma states that exporting assets from design mode requires "can edit access to the slide deck and a Full seat", while exporting the whole deck is "Available on any plan". A common overstatement is that editing Figma Slides needs a Full seat; it does not. - Users have reported PPTX export failures in Figma Slides with only a generic "unable to export file" message (forum.figma.com, reported 27 January 2026). Figma staff asked for the deck to triage, the reporter declined for confidentiality reasons, and the thread closed unresolved. This is a user report, not a documented limitation. - Confluence Cloud has no official REST API for exporting a page. Atlassian's own knowledge base states "there isn't an official API for exporting pages as PDFs as per Confluence REST API" and then offers an explicitly unsupported workaround, a request against the FlyingPDF export action at /spaces/flyingpdf/pdfpageexport.action. The REST API reliably returns page content as HTML via the content endpoint with the body expanded. Verified August 2026. - Atlassian publishes no hard limit on Confluence space exports, only a soft benchmark: "For typical use cases, such as exporting 100 pages, the process should generally complete within a few minutes." Confluence Cloud exports a single page to Word or PDF, and a whole space to PDF, CSV, HTML or XML. PowerPoint appears on neither list. - Notion is withdrawing workspace-wide PDF export. Notion states "The option to export workspace content as a PDF is going away" and that "This change will be rolled out to workspaces gradually between now and August 31, 2026." Exporting an individual page as PDF is unaffected. Verified against notion.com/help/export-your-content on 2026-08-26. - Notion's documented export formats are PDF, HTML, and Markdown and CSV for a page, and HTML, Markdown or CSV for a workspace. PowerPoint is on neither list. Notion's own limits for bulk export: "Exports can take up to 30 hours to process" and the download "link will expire after 7 days". - Notion AI agents are widely reported since the July 2026 release to produce Office files including .pptx on request. This is NOT confirmed in Notion's own documentation: its export help page does not mention PowerPoint, and the Notion developer documentation index (246 entries) lists no presentation or pptx endpoint, so there is nothing to automate against. Treat as real but undocumented. Like the Copilot Notebooks agent, it GENERATES a deck from the page rather than converting the page, so exact approved wording is rewritten. - Power Automate has no PowerPoint connector published by Microsoft. Microsoft's connector reference lists a Word Online (Business) connector, publisher "Microsoft", whose actions are Convert Word Document to PDF, Create a Microsoft Word document with the given content, and Populate a Microsoft Word template. No equivalent PowerPoint connector from Microsoft exists in that catalog, so a cloud flow cannot create or fill a deck using Microsoft parts alone. Verified 2026-08-27. - Microsoft's Word template population works through Word content controls, and Microsoft enumerates exactly which ones the connector supports: Plain Text, Combo Box, Drop-Down List, Image and Repeating Section. It separately lists the unsupported ones, including Rich Text, Building Block Gallery, Date Picker, Check Box and legacy form controls. The .pptx format has no content-control equivalent, which is the structural reason no first-party PowerPoint populate action exists. Verified 2026-08-27. - The Microsoft Graph driveItem conversion endpoint documents exactly three valid values for its format parameter: jpg, pdf and html. The extension pptx appears in the supported-source lists for both jpg and pdf, and never as an output format. Microsoft Graph can therefore read a PowerPoint file and convert it to an image or a PDF, and has no documented way to produce a .pptx. This enumeration is the cleanest available proof that the gap is real rather than merely undocumented. Verified 2026-08-27. - Microsoft Graph gives Excel a full workbook content API reachable at /workbook/, covering worksheets, ranges, tables, charts, named items and workbook functions, with persistent, non-persistent and sessionless modes. There is no slide-level equivalent for PowerPoint in Graph: a .pptx can be moved as a driveItem and converted to PDF, but nothing documented reaches inside the deck to add or edit a slide. Verified 2026-08-27. - The PowerPoint actions available in Power Automate are published by third parties. Microsoft Learn's page for the "Encodian - PowerPoint" connector names Encodian as the publisher and states "An Encodian subscription is required to use the Encodian 'Flowr' PowerPoint connector". Its actions are PowerPoint Compress, Delete Slides, Merge Files, Populate, Replace Text and Split, with Populate described as "Populate a Microsoft PowerPoint file (PPTX) with the JSON data provided". Verified 2026-08-27. - Microsoft Learn lists the Encodian PowerPoint connector as available in all Power Automate regions except US Government (GCC High), US Department of Defense (DoD) and the China cloud operated by 21Vianet. For US federal and defense tenants the third-party PowerPoint connector route is unavailable, not merely expensive. Verified 2026-08-27. - Encodian's own pricing page lists Flowr tiers as Free at 50 credits, Standard at $49 per month for 500 credits, Midsize at $99 for 1,200, Large at $349 for 5,000 and Enterprise at $549 for 12,000, with Dedicated at $10,999 per year for 18,000 credits. Encodian notes that "most non-utility actions consume 1 credit per operation", so a single deck that is populated, merged and converted consumes several credits. Budget by operations rather than by decks. Verified 2026-08-27. - Plumsail Documents bills per document produced rather than per credit, and its store page lists Folder at 200 documents monthly and Drawer at 1,000 documents monthly. Published prices vary across third-party sources and Plumsail's store does not render them to automated retrieval, so roughly $25 to $250 per month should be treated as an approximation to confirm directly. Verified 2026-08-27. - Power Automate Premium is listed at $15 per user per month on annual billing, and unattended Process licensing at roughly $150 per bot per month. Third-party PowerPoint connectors are billed on top of this, so generating decks from a flow means paying two vendors for one deck. Verified 2026-08-27. - The Word Online (Business) connector carries three documented limits that catch enterprise document-automation projects: the maximum input file for both of its actions is 10MB, documents must convert in under two minutes or the request times out, and Microsoft states that "If a Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) conditional access policy is enabled, the Populate a Microsoft Word template action cannot be used". Verified 2026-08-27. - Perplexity enumerates the file types it can create in its help center article "Creating assets with Perplexity: Overview" (written by Emilio Morales, dated 9 April 2026): "Document Files: DOCX, PDF", "Spreadsheet Files: XLSX", "Presentation Files: PPTX" and "App Files: HTML". Its export paragraph adds HTML for presentations: "Currently, we support PPTX and HTML for presentations, PDF and DOCX for documents, XLSX for spreadsheets, and HTML for apps." There is no Google Slides destination, and no PDF option for a presentation even though PDF is offered for documents. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity cannot apply your slide template and says so itself. Its FAQ asks "Can I apply specific slide layouts or templates to my presentations or documents?" and answers "Not currently. Perplexity produces functional presentations and documents that help you save time. Once you have the content and structure, you can edit the layout, and set any template you'd like to use." The same article adds that to change the theme or color of an asset "you will need to download the file and use compatible software on your local machine". Branding is therefore manual work after generation. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity's citations do not extend to generated presentations. Its overview describes the benefit as "Perplexity's clear, reliable citations (on documents only) and evidence-based outputs", and separately states that "every document automatically includes Perplexity-grade citations and research". Documents, not presentations. The asset type most likely to be challenged in a meeting is the one Perplexity ships without sources attached. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity gates asset creation behind a paid plan: "All Pro, Education Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max users can create assets with Perplexity." The Standard (Free) plan description lists search history, basic searches, a "very limited amount of Pro Searches" and basic file uploads, and does not mention creating files, so a free account cannot produce a .pptx at all. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity meters asset creation on every tier and publishes no number for any of them. Pro includes a "Limited amount Create files and apps queries every 30 days"; Max offers "Extended limits for Create files and apps Queries" and the ability to "create files and apps with minimal limits on volume or frequency"; Enterprise Max offers "extended rate-limits for advanced tools to build dashboards, spreadsheets, presentations, and web applications". Cost per deck cannot be calculated from public information. Verified 2026-08-30 against Perplexity's plan article dated 20 July 2026. - Perplexity's only first-party seat prices, from its own plan-comparison help article: Enterprise Pro carries "Per-seat pricing (starts at $40/month or $400/year/seat)" and Education Pro is "$10/mo with verification from SheerID". Perplexity's public pricing page blocks automated retrieval, so consumer Pro at about $20 per month and Max at about $200 per month are widely reported approximations rather than quoted figures. Perplexity supports mixing Pro and Max seats within one organization. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity Pro is documented as allowing "Up to 50 file uploads per space" with increased rate limits for file and attachment analysis, and support answering within two business days. Enterprise Pro adds trust center access, a commitment that data is never used for training, admin seat management, organization-level upload controls and support aiming to respond within eight hours. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity brought its Computer agent into Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook as Microsoft 365 add-ins distributed through Microsoft's marketplace, reported live from 28 May 2026 and available to paid Pro, Max, Enterprise Pro and Enterprise Max subscribers. Perplexity's own announcement blocks automated retrieval, so this rests on trade coverage rather than a vendor quote. Separately, other publishers list Office add-ins carrying Perplexity in the name; those are third-party products, so the publisher field on the listing is what a security review should check. Verified 2026-08-30. - Perplexity can export documents, spreadsheets and presentations to Google Drive when a Google Drive account is connected. That places a .pptx file in Drive; it does not create a Google Slides document. Verified 2026-08-30. - Prezi pricing, checked August 2026 across multiple independent sources because prezi.com/pricing renders its plans in JavaScript and does not respond to automated retrieval: individual plans billed annually are reported as Basic $0, Standard about $7 per month, Plus about $15 and Premium about $25, with a Teams plan around $39 per user per month. PowerPoint import is reported as a Plus-tier feature. Treat every figure as an approximation to confirm on Prezi's own page. - xAI was renamed SpaceXAI. SpaceX acquired xAI in February 2026 and the rebrand completed on 7 July 2026, when the company's X account posted "We are now SpaceXAI". The Grok product, the SuperGrok subscription and the developer API all keep the Grok name, and the Microsoft marketplace listing reads "Grok by SpaceXAI for PowerPoint". Vendor and security records raised against xAI name an entity that no longer uses that name. Verified 2026-08-31. - SpaceXAI released Grok for PowerPoint, a Microsoft 365 add-in, on 16 June 2026. The add-in installs free for anyone with a Microsoft 365 subscription, and the marketplace listing gives availability as SuperGrok, Heavy, Business and Enterprise users with usage limits applying. Inside PowerPoint it generates a multi-slide deck from a prompt, converts an outline into slides, appends slides to an existing deck, applies themes, reorganizes sections and drafts speaker notes, and can use web search, X search and MCP. Verified 2026-08-31. - Grok's usage meter changed in June 2026. SpaceXAI's documentation describes "one shared weekly usage pool that you can spend however you like across any Grok product", replacing per-product daily limits, and says "different products cost different amounts depending on how much compute that product requires" without publishing any rate. The pool "is shown as a percentage used". Verified 2026-08-31. - The Grok usage breakdown enumerates exactly five products, "API, Build, Chat, Imagine, Voice". PowerPoint is not among them, so deck-building spend cannot be attributed or charged back from the Usage tab. Combined with the missing allowance and the missing per-action rate, there are three independent reasons cost per deck cannot be calculated. Verified 2026-08-31. - When a Grok weekly limit is reached, SpaceXAI states that "paid features will pause until your weekly limit resets", while free-tier Chat and Voice continue on a separate schedule. So the PowerPoint add-in stops mid-week while Grok itself keeps answering. Extra Usage Credits start at $5 on web and are "priced at standard rates, which means the cost per action is higher than the effective rate you get from the included weekly usage in your plan"; credits expire one year after purchase. Verified 2026-08-31. - Grok Imagine output cannot be used unmarked. SpaceXAI documents that "generated images and videos include a Grok watermark to indicate that the content was created with AI. There is no setting to remove the watermark", and that "removing, altering, or obscuring the watermark or other provenance signals is prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy". This rules generated imagery out of client-facing decks. Verified 2026-08-31. - SpaceXAI's API has no presentation capability. Its developer quickstart enumerates text generation, image and video generation through the Imagine API, structured outputs, multi-turn chat, file uploads and RAG, and tools for web search, X search, code execution and function calling. No slide, presentation or .pptx endpoint appears, so scheduled or unattended deck generation from Grok needs a separate rendering component. Verified 2026-08-31. - SpaceXAI's model reference prices grok-4.6 at $2.00 per million input tokens and $6.00 per million output tokens below 200k context, and $4.00 and $12.00 above it, describing it as "the most intelligent and fastest model we've built". Verified 2026-08-31. - SpaceXAI documents connectors for Google Drive, Gmail and Google Calendar, Outlook mail and calendar, SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Salesforce and custom MCP servers. Grok can therefore read documents a company already stores, but no connector on that list produces a presentation file. Verified 2026-08-31. - Grok plan prices could not be retrieved first-party because x.ai blocks automated retrieval. Several independent 2026 trackers agree on roughly $10 a month for SuperGrok Lite, $30 for SuperGrok, $300 for SuperGrok Heavy after an introductory period, and about $30 per seat for Grok Business, which launched in January 2026. Treat all four as approximations. Business and Enterprise plans carry a commitment not to train on customer conversations; consumer tiers do not. Verified 2026-08-31. - OpenAI launched a first-party ChatGPT add-in for PowerPoint on 21 May 2026, installed from the Microsoft marketplace or the PowerPoint Add-ins menu. It builds decks, edits slides, rewrites text and audits narrative logic in a side panel, and pulls context from Gmail, Outlook and SharePoint. It is reported as available on every ChatGPT plan including Free and Go, the only major assistant add-in with no paid gate, while template management, fonts and advanced formatting are reported as not yet supported. OpenAI's help center blocks automated retrieval, so this is trade coverage rather than a vendor quote. Verified 2026-08-31. - Gamma's help center states that generating presentations with Create with AI "uses credits, metered per slide and per image", and that editing with Agent, adding cards with AI and trying new layouts also consume credits. Verified 2026-09-02. - Gamma gives each new free user 400 credits at signup, and on the free plan "credits do not refresh" once spent. More are earned only by referral at 200 credits each. Paid plans refill monthly and unused credits "rollover up to double the plan size". Verified 2026-09-02. - Gamma states "You will not be charged credits for errors or clarification requests", so a failed generation does not cost the allowance. Verified 2026-09-02. - Gamma documents two hard export failure ceilings: "extremely long gammas (typically 150+ slides) can fail to export", and "large or numerous images can cause an export to fail, or to render incorrectly". Neither is a soft degradation; nothing downloads. Verified 2026-09-02. - Gamma documents that a chart or diagram may export "noticeably smaller than it appears in the editor, or shifted from its position", and attributes it to the Zoom to fit setting, which applies only to fixed-format exports and not to fluid slides. Verified 2026-09-02. - Gamma's baseline export expectation, in its own words, is that exports "reflect Present Mode, not Edit Mode, so some visual differences are expected", and it states this difference "is expected and isn't an error". Verified 2026-09-02. - Neither Gamma nor Canva offers a native Google Slides export. Gamma exports PDF, PNG and PPTX only; Canva ships no Google Slides destination at all. Both routes therefore pass through a .pptx import, and Gamma notes that Google Slides "ignores fonts embedded in an uploaded PowerPoint file and substitutes its own, regardless of what Gamma embedded", which discards Gamma's main export advantage on arrival. Verified 2026-09-02. - DocSlide product boundaries, checked against the application code on 2026-09-02: DocSlide does NOT ingest a .potx brand template, does NOT generate PowerPoint chart objects, and has no direct Google Slides integration (the .pptx is imported by Slides). Accepted input is PDF, Word (.docx) and pasted text; spreadsheets are not accepted. Plans are Solo and Team (there is no "Pro" plan). - Beautiful.ai pricing read first-party from beautiful.ai/pricing on 2026-09-01: Pro is $14.50 per user per month billed annually, or $45 for a single month; Team is $40 per user per month billed annually, or $50 per user per month billed monthly; Enterprise is quoted on request. There is no free tier, so five Team seats cost $2,400 a year. - Beautiful.ai gates editable export behind a paid plan. Its help center states that "exporting as an editable PowerPoint or Google Slides is a feature only available on Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscriptions", and its pricing page lists "Editable PowerPoint export" and "PowerPoint import" as Pro features. - Beautiful.ai's export dialog contains two entries that both say PowerPoint, and only one is editable. "Editable PowerPoint" produces, in Beautiful.ai's words, "a PPT file where all elements of your presentation can still be edited within PowerPoint, including your presentation notes". The entry named simply "PowerPoint" is an image export that "will generate a PPT file containing slides that are static images of the content you created in Beautiful.ai", and Beautiful.ai adds "Note that this means the download will not be editable". Speaker notes are included in both. - Beautiful.ai's full export list is Editable PowerPoint, PowerPoint (images), Images, Google Slides, PDF and compressed PDF, Print, and the Beautiful.ai Offline Player. A single slide can be exported on its own via Manage, then Export Slide, then Export Slide to PPT. The whole-presentation dialog has an "include skipped slides in export" checkbox, unchecked by default. - Beautiful.ai states that "external platforms don't support Beautiful.ai's transitions and animations, so those will be lost on export", and that "exported slides won't have audio attached". Text, shapes and speaker notes do survive the editable export. - Beautiful.ai does not embed fonts on export. Its instructions warn that "if your device doesn't have the fonts used in your Beautiful.ai presentation, your export will be slightly different" and offer a Download Fonts button, which fixes the exporting machine but not the recipient's. - Beautiful.ai publishes a blog post titled "How to Export to PPT and Why You Shouldn't", which states that "Beautiful.ai and PowerPoint are not one and the same", warns that you "might lose some of the Beautiful.ai magic in the process", and recommends that "for the best experience from beginning to end we recommend designing and presenting in Beautiful.ai". - Beautiful.ai ships a first-party PowerPoint add-in in the Microsoft Office Store, described as giving "the Beautiful.ai Smart Slide technology, that takes on the burden of the design for you, without ever having to leave the PowerPoint platform". Its save dialog still forks into "Save as Editable PowerPoint" and "Save as Image", and team slides in its library are "a Team Plan feature only". - Beautiful.ai sells "over 300 Smart Slide layouts" with "auto-formatting slides" that rebalance as content is added. The .pptx format stores fixed shape geometry and has no adaptive-layout construct, so an exported deck carries the arrangement as computed at export time and does not re-flow on further edits. This is a format limit, not a vendor defect. - Beautiful.ai research note (2026-09-01): support.beautiful.ai returns 403 to WebFetch and to curl with a browser user agent, but the Zendesk help center API at support.beautiful.ai/api/v2/help_center/en-us/articles/.json returns the full article body as JSON to plain curl. - Beautiful.ai pricing, read first-party from beautiful.ai/pricing on 2026-09-05: Pro is $14.50 per user per month billed annually or $45 billed monthly for 1 user; Team is $40 per user per month annually or $50 monthly and covers 2 to 20 seats; Enterprise is quoted. All plans include a 14-day free trial that requires a credit card. There is no free plan. - Beautiful.ai Team caps at 20 seats, so a team growing past 20 moves to Enterprise and a quoted contract rather than self-serve billing. - Beautiful.ai's Team price is roughly 2.8x its solo Pro price per seat, and the difference buys real-time co-editing, version control and a centralized template library. - DocSlide product boundaries re-verified against the application code on 2026-09-05: accepted upload types are enforced in code as mimes:pdf,docx (spreadsheets and CSV are NOT accepted); DeckWriter emits only editable text boxes and speaker notes, so there are no PowerPoint chart objects and no table objects; OutlineBuilder asks the model for a source_ref that is a short quote or section name, NOT a page number, so 'cites the source page' overstates it; there is no .potx ingestion anywhere in the codebase, and 'Custom templates at scale' is listed on the Enterprise tier only, not on Team.
