Google Slides

Google Slides is a free and robust slideshow maker that helps professionals create stunning presentations and present with confidence.

It’s challenging enough to get our ideas across to an audience. The last thing you want is spending hours of your time creating presentations from scratch.

Create, present, and collaborate in real time on Google Slides.

Choose a professionally made theme or import one from your own collection to get started. Adjust the layout as desired and add your main points in each slide. Edit your background quickly. Duplicate, move, or skip slides in grid view.

Control the look of your slide transitions to maintain your audience’s attention. Choose from effects like dissolve, fade, flip, cube, and gallery. You can apply these transition effects in all slides or individual slides in a click.

This online slideshow maker integrates deeply with other Google apps, so you can achieve pretty much everything you want without leaving the platform. Gather the charts you created in Google Sheets or present to Google Meet video calls directly in Slides.

Request for review from your teammates. Add their email addresses or copy the URL link of your presentation. Your team can easily leave their comments within the presentation. Bounce ideas back and forth. To save time, reply to their comments directly from your Gmail inbox.

Present your big ideas with confidence. Include key takeaways in the note panel below each slide to ensure you got everything covered.

Share your slides in presenter view. Google Slides will open a new window (shown only to you) with your speaker notes and a timer that automatically starts ticking the second you start presenting.

Google Slides also offers a built-in Q&A tool. Viewers can easily ask questions via a unique link and upvote or down vote them accordingly. You can see these enquiries from your end and choose if you want to present them on your screen.

Streamline your workflow with add-ons. The Google Workspace Marketplace offers dozens of third-party apps, like Unsplash and Slido.

Take your pick from over 250,000 high-resolution images on Unsplash and insert them into your presentation instantly. The best presentations are interactive. Add live polls, collect questions that keep your audience up at night, and run quizzes in real time.
