Getting started
Slaide features and limits at a glance
In short
Slaide turns a written request into editable presentations, reports, one-pagers, posters and Excel models in your browser and exports PowerPoint, Word, PDF, PNG, JPG and Excel files. It has no video, no direct Google Slides export, no comments and no team workspaces, and charts arrive as shapes or images, not as chart objects. The Free plan builds 3 pages of one document, Plus allows up to 12 pages per document, and Pro and Max have no plan limit on pages.
What can Slaide create?
You describe the document and Slaide chooses the page format that fits. The kind of document sets the page format, and the page format sets the Office file you download.
| Document | Page format | File you download |
|---|---|---|
| Presentation, pitch deck | Slides 16:9 | PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, PNG, JPG |
| Report, proposal, one-pager, résumé | A4 portrait | Word (.docx), PDF, PNG, JPG |
| Poster, social post | Custom size | PowerPoint (.pptx) at that size, PDF, PNG, JPG |
| Budget, financial plan, calculation | Excel workbook, no pages | Excel (.xlsx) |

Where does Slaide run?
- In your browser. Slaide needs no installation. Use a current version of a major browser such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. See How Slaide works.
- On a phone or tablet, in the browser. You can request changes and export files; detailed layout work is a job for the desktop editor. There is no separate app to install. See Use Slaide on your phone.
- In Chrome. The optional side-panel extension turns a web page, or up to 8 collected pages or highlighted passages, into slides. It needs Google Chrome 116 or newer. See Slaide for Chrome.
- In AI assistants. ChatGPT, Claude and Grok can use Slaide through a custom connector, in your own Slaide account and plan. See Use Slaide in ChatGPT, Claude or Grok.
- In PowerPoint. The add-in is not available yet: as of 11 October 2026 it is not in Microsoft Marketplace, and Slaide's settings list it as Coming soon. See The Slaide add-in for PowerPoint.
The build runs on Slaide's servers. While you work, the header shows Saving… and then Saved ✓; if your connection drops, it says Offline and saves as soon as you are back online.

What does Slaide not do?
Each point is explained in the article it links to.
- No video. Slaide creates documents: slides, pages and workbooks. Video and print production are not what it is built for. See Which document types Slaide can create.
- No direct Google Slides export. Slaide exports PowerPoint, Word, PDF, PNG, JPG and Excel. See How Slaide works and Files and exports.
- No chart objects. In PowerPoint, charts become editable shapes or an image; in Word they become images. See Create charts and tables from your data and Files and exports.
- No pivot tables, macros or charts in Excel files. Workbooks contain formulas and formatting. See Build, edit and download Excel models.
- No comments and no team workspaces. People work on the document itself, and an invitation grants access to that one document. See Work on a document together and Use Slaide with your team.
- No password for share links. Anyone who has the link can see the document; its address contains a random identifier that cannot be guessed. See Share a document.
- Your own fact check stays necessary. Slaide's visual page checks do not replace your own check of figures, names and statements, because AI makes mistakes. See Check facts, sources and calculations.
- No .potx template files. Save the template as .pptx first. See Use your own PowerPoint template.
