Account and billing
Account settings: what you can change, and where
In short
Open the settings in Slaide with the round avatar at the top right of the library. There are six areas: Profile and Account for your name, language, email address, password and sign-in, Plan and Usage for credits and billing, Preferences for notifications and defaults, and Workspace for invitations. The table below shows where each task lives.
How do I open the settings?
Step 1: Open the library
Sign in to Slaide. The library is the page you land on.
Step 2: Click your avatar
The round avatar with your initials sits at the top right. A click opens Settings, on a phone as a sheet.
Step 3: Pick an area
Choose an area in the list on the left, or in the dropdown at the top on a phone. Help at the bottom opens the support page.
The areas are Profile, Account, Plan, Usage, Preferences and Workspace. Open Settings takes you there directly.

How do I change my name, language, email or password?
- Name: under Profile, type a new Display name (up to 80 characters) and click Save.
- Language: under Profile, choose EN or DE at Language. The interface changes, a document keeps the language of your request.
- Email address: under Account, click Change, enter the new address (and your password, if your account has one) and click Send confirmation link. The new address becomes active only after you click the link in the email sent to it.
- Password: under Account, click Change password. Enter your current password and a new one with at least 8 characters, then click Save. Accounts that sign in only with Google or Apple see Set up password instead.
How do I keep my account safe?
- Connected accounts: Google and Apple show as connected or not. Disconnect is offered only while another sign-in method remains. Otherwise you see Your only sign-in method.
- Active sessions: Sign out on other devices ends every session except this one. Slaide keeps no device list.
- Email confirmation: an unconfirmed address is marked Unverified. Use Resend link under Verify email, or Confirm now in the bar at the top of the library.
Where do I manage my plan, credits and invoices?
Everything about billing lives under Plan: your plan, your credits and when they refresh. Manage subscription opens Stripe's secure customer portal for your card, billing details and invoices, and Cancel subscription opens Stripe's cancellation page, where you confirm. Pay-as-you-go, credit codes, your invite link and the Credit history are on the same page. See Plans and pricing for the plans.
How do I delete my account?
Step 1: Open Account
In Settings, open Account and scroll to the end of the page.
Step 2: Click Delete account
Click Delete account and type the email address of your account to confirm.
Step 3: Confirm
Click Delete permanently. If a task is still running, Slaide stops it first and continues the deletion automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Can I upload a profile picture?
No. The round avatar shows the initials of your display name, or of your email address if you have not set a name.
Why is Usage missing in my settings?
Usage is hidden while a free account has no credits to track. It appears as soon as the account has credits, for example through an invitation or a paid plan.
Do my settings follow me to another device?
Your name, email address, password, plan and the email alert for finished tasks belong to your account. Language, notification sound, animation style and default quality are stored in the browser, so set them again in another browser.
Does the language switch translate my documents?
No. It changes the interface only. A document is written in the language of your request, so an English request in the German interface still gives an English document.
I need help with something that is not in the settings. Where do I turn?
Write to info@slaide.de and include the email address of your account, never your password. See Contact Slaide support: address and what to send.
