About DeckCraft
DeckCraft is an open-source presentation editor for creating, editing, and presenting slide decks. It provides themes, layouts, text formatting, shapes, pictures, tables, charts, transitions, animations, presenter view, and full-screen slideshows. The application can open and save PowerPoint PPTX files and export presentations to PDF, PNG, JPEG, and outline formats. Users can control actions through the graphical interface, more than 200 command-line commands, a JSON control channel, or an MCP server for AI-agent workflows. DeckCraft is available as native applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as a WebAssembly build that can be hosted as a static site. The project is in alpha, so its feature set and behavior are still under development.

SlideCamp
SlideCamp is a presentation management and slide library platform that keeps every approved slide in one searchable repository so teams can build on-brand decks in minutes and always present the latest content. It runs directly inside Microsoft PowerPoint via an add-in, letting users search slides by keyword, insert approved content, and update decks without switching tools. SlideCamp’s search reads all text on slides so the right slide can be found fast, and SlideSync ensures teams have the latest versions by instantly updating outdated slides across presentations. Real-time alerts notify users in PowerPoint when content is no longer current, and version control and brand-compliance features help maintain messaging and design consistency. A central library of templates and slides eliminates manual hunting through files, streamlines production, and boosts productivity by reducing time spent on slide assembly, repurposing, and updates.

FlashDocs
FlashDocs is a modern, API-first platform that makes it easy for developers and product teams to generate, edit, and manage slide decks—without opening a presentation tool. With native support for both Google Slides and PowerPoint (PPTX), FlashDocs allows you to programmatically build custom decks from structured data, markdown, or pre-designed templates with merge tags.
Whether you're exporting dashboards, creating sales proposals, or powering AI agents that need to output decks, FlashDocs streamlines the process with a simple REST API. It supports inserting images, tables, and charts, managing slide libraries, and applying brand-safe templates—making it the go-to solution for teams that need to scale presentation creation across products or workflows.
If you've ever built internal tooling to generate slides or struggled with the limitations of Google Slides API or Microsoft Graph, FlashDocs offers a much faster, cleaner alternative designed with developers in mind.

Riffly
Riffly is an AI-powered presentation builder that turns a blank page into a boardroom-ready deck in under two minutes. Users describe the deck they want, and Riffly generates a complete, designed presentation with titles, bullets, speaker notes, and a structure that can be refined through chat. Instead of clicking through a traditional slide builder, users talk to the product: type a prompt such as a 10-slide pitch deck, dark theme, or investor-ready presentation, and a fully designed deck appears in seconds. Riffly supports direct editing, letting users click any slide to adjust content while keeping the deck editable and usable beyond the AI generation step. It is a real .pptx file that works in PowerPoint or Google Slides, making it practical for client meetings, business proposals, team presentations, educational lectures, marketing decks, and investor pitches.
