Three steps to your slide deck
Turn a Markdown file into an editable slide deck without writing a single CSS rule.
Upload Markdown
Drag and drop your .md file or click to browse. Headings become slides and lists become bullets, so SlideSpeak keeps your structure intact.
AI Structures Slides
Our AI reads your Markdown, picks the right layouts for each section, and turns headings, lists, and code blocks into polished slides.
Generate and edit in SlideSpeak
Your slides open in the free SlideSpeak editor, where you refine them and export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF.
Built for clean structure, speed & flexibility
SlideSpeak maps every heading, list, and code block to a slide layout, keeping your Markdown structure intact while adding AI-picked design on top.
Markdown structure preserved
Headings (#, ##, ###) map to slide titles and sections, while lists become bullets and code blocks stay monospaced. Blockquotes turn into callouts. Everything you authored shows up in the deck.
AI picks the layout for you
Our AI reads each section and chooses a layout: title slide, two-column, image, list, or summary. No template wrangling. No manual placement.
Free to start, no credit card
Upload your Markdown and generate an editable deck for free. Create a free SlideSpeak account (no credit card) to edit and export to PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF.
Safe and secure processing
We encrypt your .md files in transit and delete them from our servers after processing. No training, no sharing, no logging of contents.
