ExpertSlides — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our two products.

First, the core question: AI Presentation Maker vs. PowerPoint Add-In

ExpertSlides is two separate products. Knowing which one you mean clears up almost every other question, so start here:

AI Presentation Maker — A web application that generates complete, professionally designed slides from your text with AI. You work entirely in your browser: type a prompt or upload a document, and ExpertSlides builds the deck for you. Nothing to install.

PowerPoint Add-In — An extension you install inside PowerPoint. You download it once, and it lives directly in PowerPoint, giving you a library of ready-made professional slides, icons, images, and color tools without ever leaving the app you already use.

In short: the AI Presentation Maker creates slides for you online; the Add-In gives you tools and templates inside PowerPoint. Many users use both.

The 15 most common questions

1. What is the ExpertSlides AI Presentation Maker?

It’s a web-based AI tool that turns text into a finished presentation in seconds. You describe what you need (or upload an existing file), and the AI structures the content and designs the slides — text, images, bullet slides, tables, charts, and infographics — ready to present or export. There is nothing to install; you use it in your browser at expertslides.ai.

2. What is the ExpertSlides PowerPoint Add-In?

It’s an extension you install directly into Microsoft PowerPoint. Once added, it gives you on-demand access to a large library of professionally designed slides, icons, stock images, and GIFs, plus automatic color synchronization — all from inside PowerPoint. It’s available through the Microsoft AppSource store, and its servers run entirely on renewable energy as part of our net-zero commitment.

3. Which product is right for me?

Choose the AI Presentation Maker if you want a complete deck generated for you from scratch or from a document. Choose the Add-In if you prefer to build slides yourself in PowerPoint but want a huge library of templates and assets at your fingertips. They complement each other, and plenty of customers use both.

4. Is there a free plan?

Yes. Both products have a free tier. The AI Presentation Maker’s free plan includes 3 AI credits per month, limited access to the slide library, PDF export, and Perplexity-powered web search, for non-commercial use. The Add-In’s free plan gives you access to free slides with limited usage. You can create a free account without entering payment details.

5. How much do the paid plans cost?

Note: Pricing and promotions change — always confirm current figures on the pricing pages before publishing.

6. What are AI credits and how many do I get?

AI credits power the AI Presentation Maker’s generation. Each plan includes a monthly allowance: 3 credits on Free, 100 on Pro, and 1,200 on Premium. Credits refresh each month.

7. Can I turn my existing Word, PDF, or PowerPoint files into slides?

Yes. With the AI Presentation Maker’s Text-to-PowerPoint feature, you upload a Word, PDF, or text document and the AI analyzes the content and instantly builds a structured, professionally designed presentation — no manual formatting or copy-pasting required.

8. Can I export my presentation to PowerPoint?

Yes, on paid plans. Pro and Premium plans include PPTX (PowerPoint) download, so your decks are fully editable in PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, or Keynote. The free plan exports to PDF.

9. Can I apply my own brand colors and logo?

Yes. ExpertSlides includes color customization tools that let you apply your corporate palette and logo instantly. The AI adjusts every visual element — backgrounds, icons, and more — to match your brand, keeping presentations consistent and on-brand. The Add-In offers automatic color synchronization as well.

10. How many templates and slides are included?

The AI Presentation Maker gives paid users access to 14,500+ Pro slides plus a large library of templates across styles like pitch decks, business reports, and creative designs. The Add-In’s Pro plan includes 900+ Pro slides along with millions of stock images, 60k+ icons, and a large GIF library. Every slide is fully editable.

11. Is ExpertSlides compatible with Windows, Mac, and Office 365?

Yes to all three. The tool works on Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS, and is compatible with both the online and offline versions of Microsoft Office 365. The AI Presentation Maker runs in any modern web browser, and its output works with PowerPoint and Google Slides.

12. Do I need to be a graphic designer to use it?

Not at all. ExpertSlides is built for beginners and professionals alike, and is used by students, the self-employed, and companies across a wide range of industries. The AI and ready-made templates handle the design work for you.

13. Can I use the slides commercially?

Yes, with a paid plan. Purchasing a Pro (or higher) plan grants a commercial license to use ExpertSlides content. Free plans are limited to non-commercial use. Reselling the tool or the slides — including on on-demand platforms — is strictly prohibited. All images, icons, and slides are covered by the ExpertSlides license terms.

14. Where do I find my invoice, and can I cancel anytime?

You receive an invoice by email after purchase, and you can also access invoices in the Subscription section of your account. Subscriptions can be canceled at any time. Refunds and cancellations are handled through our payment partner’s standard process.

15. Are there discounts for nonprofits and educational institutions?

Yes. Nonprofit organizations and educational institutions such as schools and universities can receive a special discount, applied after a quick verification. Just get in touch via chat or our contact form with proof of your nonprofit or educational status.
