How it works

Three steps to your slide deck

Turn a Markdown file into an editable slide deck without writing a single CSS rule.

1

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.

2

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.

3

Download Presentation

Export as PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDF in seconds. Edit further in SlideSpeak or any compatible app.

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.

Markdown structure preserved

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.
