In their own words
Apple Keynote
Apple Keynote is presentation software for creating, editing, viewing, and sharing slides. Its core functions, including real-time collaboration, do not require a subscription. The app includes Apple-designed themes, illustration tools, and a customizable presenter display; on Mac, presenter notes and controls can appear in a separate window during video conferences. Multiple presenters can take turns controlling a slideshow. Keynote imports and edits Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and exports to PowerPoint, PDF, HTML, movies, and image files. Presentations can be shared publicly or with specific people through iCloud or Box, and iCloud-shared files can be up to 4 GB. Keynote is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro, with PC access through iCloud.com. Apple Creator Studio costs what you agree with the maker, billed monthly, and adds premium content and features such as presenter-note generation and slide layout cleanup. Some Creator Studio features require an Apple Intelligence-capable device. Writing Tools and Image Playground provide text and image assistance.
