Presenton
Presenton generates editable PPTX and PDF presentations from prompts, documents, and data. Users can edit slides on a canvas or refine them with chat-based AI editing. An existing PPTX can become a reusable design system preserving colors, typography, spacing, and layout rules. The Cloud v3 API accepts prompts, files, URLs, Markdown, JSON, and slide-specific content, and exports PPTX, PDF, and PNG. It supports REST requests, asynchronous jobs, webhooks, and scoped iframe embedding. Self-hosted deployments can use OpenAI-compatible endpoints or local models through Ollama. The desktop application is described as free on Windows, macOS, and Linux with no usage limits; self-hosted/open-source use is free under Apache 2.0. Each generated slide uses one credit. Enterprise deployments can run in customer-controlled cloud, VPC, on-premises, or air-gapped environments, with added access, audit, networking, retention, and support options.
