What it is
Napkin AI turns text and ideas into visuals and presentations, including diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, infographics, and data charts. It can work from written, pasted, or imported text, and lets users adjust colors, fonts, layouts, icons, and individual elements. Visuals can be exported as PPT, PDF, PNG, or SVG files. Napkin Slides creates editable presentation decks and is available on Free, Plus, and Pro while in beta. Napkin presents its visuals for use with tools such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva, Keynote, Google Docs, Word, Notion, and Confluence. Its API generates visuals from text using the credits and limits of the account’s plan, but does not accept PDFs or documents as input. On mobile, users can view existing work and create or edit presentations, but cannot generate visuals. Creation is supported in 60+ languages; the interface is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Korean, and Portuguese. Free includes 500 AI credits per week and branding on visuals.
