In short

A brand template in PowerPoint is a .potx file that defines master slides, theme colors, fonts, and layouts so every deck looks like it came from your company. Docslide honors yours: upload the .potx, or set brand colors and fonts directly, and every generated deck is built on those master slides, with your palette applied to layouts and charts and your typography throughout. The export is a native .pptx that behaves like a deck a designer built inside your template, and consultants can maintain multiple client templates to deliver in each client's brand. This is a real differentiator: Gamma is known to disregard uploaded templates and restyle content its own way, and Beautiful.ai enforces its own rigid design system at around $480 per user per year. Docslide's .potx upload is included on the Pro plan at $29 per month, with a shared brand kit and template library on Team at $79 per month for 5 seats; plans start at $15 per month and every tier exports watermark-free. Docslide applies your brand to your content; it does not invent either. The deck remains a first draft you approve and own.

// BRAND TEMPLATES

What you get

Brand templates, done the document-first way

Real .potx support

Docslide builds on your actual master slides and layouts, so the exported .pptx opens in PowerPoint as a deck native to your template, not a lookalike.

Charts inherit the brand

Because charts are native objects, they pick up your theme colors and fonts automatically, and stay editable after export.

Client templates for consultants

Keep a template per client and generate deliverables directly in each client's brand, which is how decks are expected to arrive.

Shared kit for teams

The Team plan at $79 per month gives 5 seats a shared brand kit and template library with admin controls, so nobody presents in last year's palette.

// 4 STEPS

How it works

From your document to a finished deck, in four steps

Slide 01

Upload your template

Add a .potx file, or define brand colors and fonts directly. Store several templates if you deliver for multiple clients.

Slide 02

Upload a document and review its outline

The normal Docslide flow: your report or proposal goes in, and you approve the extracted outline before generation.

Slide 03

The deck builds on your masters

Layouts, text styles, and charts are generated on your template's master slides, in your colors and typography.

Slide 04

Export a native, on-brand .pptx

The file opens in PowerPoint as if built in-house: editable text boxes, themed masters, editable charts, no watermark on any plan.

Brand templates apply across every conversion, from an AI-generated PowerPoint built from your proposal to a Word document turned into a deck, and even the charts inherit your palette because they are native editable chart objects, not images. Team plans on the pricing page add a shared template library so everyone generates from the same kit.

Questions

Brand templates: the questions people actually ask

What is a .potx file?

A .potx is a PowerPoint template file. It stores master slides, layouts, theme colors, fonts, and placeholder positions, but no presentation content. Opening one creates a new presentation based on it rather than editing the template itself, which is what keeps a company template from being overwritten by whoever used it last.

What is the difference between .potx and .pptx?

A .pptx is a presentation, the actual deck with your slides in it. A .potx is a template that defines how decks built from it should look. Double-clicking a .potx spawns a new untitled .pptx using that design. To edit the template itself you have to open it explicitly from within PowerPoint.

How do I install a PowerPoint template?

Save the .potx into your Custom Office Templates folder, which on Windows is under Documents. It then appears under File, New, Personal alongside the Office templates. On Mac, place it in the PowerPoint templates folder inside your user Library, then find it under File and New from Template.

How do I apply a template to an existing PowerPoint?

On the Design tab, open the Themes gallery, choose Browse for Themes, and select your .potx. PowerPoint applies its colors, fonts, and masters to the current deck. Be warned that slides built on layouts the template does not contain often need manual repair, so applying a brand template late is rarely as clean as generating in it.

How do I change the default PowerPoint template?

Save your template as a file named blank.potx in the PowerPoint Templates folder in your user profile. New blank presentations then open with your masters and theme instead of the stock Office design. Removing or renaming that file restores the original default.

Can AI generate a presentation in my company template?

Some tools can and some deliberately do not. Docslide builds on the master slides in the .potx you upload, so the export opens as a deck native to your template. Several popular AI deck tools restyle content into their own design system regardless of what you upload, which is worth testing before you standardize on one.
