How do I upload a custom PowerPoint template to my SlideSpeak account?

Creating presentations with a custom PowerPoint template is a great way to ensure brand consistency and professional design in your SlideSpeak AI projects. Whether you are working on company decks or personal presentations, SlideSpeak makes it easy to integrate your own branded templates.

Important Note: The custom template feature requires a Custom Template Add-on purchase on top of your existing subscription. This add-on includes technical set-up by our team to ensure your template works perfectly with our AI engine.

Step 1: Unlock Custom Templates

To get started, navigate to the Branded templates section in your account settings. If you haven’t purchased the add-on yet, you will see a prompt to unlock this feature.
