Slaide for Chrome: turn a web page into slides
In short
Slaide for Chrome is a side-panel extension for Google Chrome 116 or newer. Click Turn this page into slides to build an editable presentation from the page you are reading, or collect up to 8 pages first. It reads a page only when you add it, signs in with your Slaide session and builds in the panel. Your first presentation is free.
What does the Slaide Chrome extension do?
It turns the web page you are reading into an editable Slaide presentation, from a side panel next to the page. You need Google Chrome 116 or newer on a desktop computer and a Slaide account.
- One page: click Turn this page into slides and Slaide builds a short deck from the page in front of you.
- Several sources: collect up to 8 pages or highlighted passages, check the plan, then build.
- Result: edit and present the deck in Slaide, or download it as a PowerPoint file.
How do I install the extension and sign in?
Install it from the Chrome Web Store, open the panel from the toolbar and sign in through your normal Slaide session.
Step 1: Install it
Open Slaide in the Chrome Web Store and click Add to Chrome.
Step 2: Open the panel
Click the Slaide icon in the toolbar or press Alt+Shift+S.
Step 3: Sign in
If you are signed in to Slaide in this Chrome profile, the panel is too. If not, click Open Slaide sign-in when it asks, sign in on the tab that opens, and the panel carries on by itself. It never asks for a password. New to Slaide? Create an account and sign in to Slaide first.
How do I turn the page I am reading into slides?
Open the panel on the page and click Turn this page into slides; Slaide then plans and builds the deck without asking you to approve the plan first.
Step 1: Click the button
Slaide reads the page, plans the slides and starts building. The panel shows the phase, the slides so far and a running clock.
Step 2: Keep reading
The build runs on Slaide's servers: switch tabs, or close the panel and reopen it later. Stop ends the build and keeps the slides that exist.
Step 3: Open or download the deck
Click Open in Slaide to edit and present, or PowerPoint to download a .pptx file; What stays editable in the PowerPoint export explains that file.
How do I build one presentation from several pages?
Add each page or highlighted passage to your research list, then click Create presentation; with your own sources Slaide shows you the plan before it builds.
Step 1: Add pages or passages
Click Add to research, or right-click and choose Add page to Slaide. For only a passage, highlight it and click Add highlighted text or choose Add selection to Slaide. The list keeps up to 8 sources.
Step 2: Say what the deck is for
Optional: under What should the deck be? write one line. The presentation is written in the language of that line.
Step 3: Check the plan, then build
Click Create presentation. When the plan appears, click Build the deck, or click Change, describe what should differ and click Rework the plan. Discard deletes the document Slaide had started.
What does the extension read, and what does it store?
It reads a page only when you add it, never in the background: the main text, up to about 45,000 characters, plus the title, address and details such as author and date.
| Permission | Why the extension needs it |
|---|---|
| Websites (http and https) | So adding works on every tab without an extra click. The panel also shows the title and icon of the tab in front of it and whether text is highlighted. |
| Scripting | Reads the main text of the one page you add. |
| Side panel | Shows Slaide next to the page. |
| Storage | Keeps your sources and the current run on your computer. |
| Context menu | Adds the right-click entries for adding a page or a selection. |
- On your computer: added pages stay in the extension's storage, also after you create a presentation, until you remove them: with the x on a row, with Clear, with New research after a finished deck, or by deleting the extension's data.
- To Slaide: when you create a presentation, each source goes to Slaide with its text, title and address. Your request and the content it needs then go through OpenRouter to language-model providers in the USA; their use for training is contractually excluded, and access by US authorities cannot be ruled out entirely. See Security and the privacy policy (as of October 2026).
- Usage events: only rough ones, such as opening the extension or a technical error, without page text, URLs or titles. It does not ask for your browsing history.
What does it cost?
The extension is free and uses your Slaide account, plan and credits like the web app.
| Your account | What you see in the panel |
|---|---|
| Free, first presentation | Slaide plans up to 12 slides and builds the first 3, for example 3 of 10 slides built. Unlock every slide opens the document in Slaide, where the build continues after you choose a plan. |
| Free, later presentations | The panel says That was your free deck and offers a plan. |
| Plus, Pro or Max | Slaide builds every slide of the plan with your credits. Build the remaining N slides finishes a build that stopped early. |
| Pupil or student account | Slaide plans for free; building starts after a plan or a single purchase. |
What can I do when a page cannot be added or a run fails?
Read the message in the panel first; most of them say what to do.
| Message in the panel | What to do |
|---|---|
| This page can't be added | Chrome keeps its own pages, the Web Store and local files off limits to every extension. Open a normal website. |
| This page can't be read right now | Reload the page and try again. Pages that block extensions cannot be added. |
| There was no readable text on this page. | The page has no text the extension can read, for example because it is mostly images. Highlight text and add it, or choose another page. |
| Still nothing. (shown after you sign in) | Sign in to Slaide in the same Chrome profile, allow cookies for app.slaide.de, then click Open it again. |
| The run did not finish | Click Try again to plan again on the same document, or Open in Slaide to see what was built. |
Still stuck? Contact Slaide support and include the message from the panel.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work with PDFs?
Not in Chrome's built-in PDF viewer, where Chrome blocks extensions. Upload the PDF in Slaide instead, see Files and exports: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Which browsers and languages does it support?
Google Chrome 116 or newer on a desktop computer. The panel follows Chrome's language, German or English. The presentation follows the first line of your brief; without a brief, a German panel builds a German deck and an English panel an English one.
Where do I find the presentation afterwards?
In your Slaide library, like any document, with the pages you added attached as sources, see Web research and sources for your documents.
Can I change the slides afterwards?
Yes. Edit the deck in Slaide, see Edit your document and undo changes, or download the .pptx and work in PowerPoint.
