Decktopus is an online presentation maker with AI. You describe the topic and it builds the slides with templates and images, but building is not its only focus: it also has features for the moment of presenting, such as speaker notes, delivery tips, audience forms and Q&A, and view analytics. For someone who delivers a deck in front of a room or a client, these parts are more useful than in simple deck makers.

What is Decktopus good for?#

  • Sales presentations: a sales consultant gets a draft deck in minutes to introduce a service to a client.
  • Class presentations: besides slides, a student gets suggested wording for each slide.
  • Rehearsing: with speaker notes and delivery tips you practice before the meeting.
  • Collecting information: forms or questions inside the deck gather opinions or contact details.
  • Sharing by link: send the deck as a link and see who opened it.

Strengths and weaknesses#

Strengths:

  • Combines slide creation with presenting tools.
  • Speaker notes and presentation guidance.
  • Forms and audience interaction.
  • A simple editor and clean templates.

Weaknesses:

  • Right-to-left and non-Latin text is not reliable.
  • Generated text is generic and must be adapted to your actual business.
  • Serious use is usually paid.
  • Less design freedom than general design tools.

Free version and pricing#

Decktopus is mostly subscription-based and may offer a trial or a limited allowance, but the terms change quickly. Check the official site for current prices and limits.

Language support#

The tool is designed for an English-speaking audience. It accepts other languages, but text generation, fonts and text direction in templates are not reliable; for a non-English deck, fix the slides by hand or use a tool with better font support.

We have no confirmed information on access from Iran, so it is listed as unknown.

Getting started in three steps#

  1. Write the topic, audience and goal of the presentation.
  2. Read and fix the generated slides and speaker notes.
  3. Rehearse with the preview, then present or send the link.
