Three steps. That's it.
Turn an academic paper into a slide deck — abstract, methodology, results, and conclusions all preserved.
Upload Research Paper
Drag and drop your .pdf research paper or click to browse. Works with academic papers, theses, conference papers, and journal articles.
AI Extracts Key Points
Our AI reads the paper end-to-end, identifies the abstract, methodology, key findings, and conclusions, and structures them into presentation slides.
Download Presentation
Get a polished PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF deck in seconds. Edit further in SlideSpeak or any compatible app.
Built for academic accuracy, speed & privacy
Every section of the paper — abstract, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion — mapped to the right slide layout, with key findings preserved verbatim.
Works with any academic PDF
Upload research papers, theses, dissertations, conference papers, or journal articles — single-column or two-column layouts, with figures, citations, and references intact.
Section-aware extraction
Our AI identifies abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions — preserving the academic flow rather than dumping raw paragraphs onto slides.
FREE & no sign-up required
Our research-paper-to-presentation converter is 100% free. Upload your PDF and download the deck instantly — no account, no daily limits, no watermarks.
