Decks.Studio vs Sozi

Decks.Studio turns a sentence, file, link, or voice note into an editable deck or A4 document. Users can refine a result by chatting with it and undo individual AI changes with one tap. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files can be imported and converted into an on-brand deck or document. Live Present lets an audience follow slides in a browser using a join code, without an app or account. Shared decks can be password-protected, configured to allow or block PDF downloads, and have access revoked immediately. Insights show who opened a deck, how long they stayed, and which slide held or lost attention. Exports include print-ready PDFs, editable PowerPoint decks, Word documents, live links, and narrated MP4 video with an AI voiceover. E-signatures use an individual signing link and produce a signed PDF with a tamper-proof audit trail. The free plan allows three decks a month; Pro costs $24 a month. The iOS and Android apps are marked as coming soon.

Sozi is a free presentation editor and player for SVG documents. It lays content out on a poster rather than a fixed slide sequence, then presents it through translations, zooms, and rotations. The editor creates and saves frames, supports undo and redo, and lets users change keyboard shortcuts in preferences. PDF and video conversion are integrated into the editor. Presentations can be embedded in HTML with an iframe and controlled by JavaScript from the containing page. Sozi runs on the web, Windows, macOS, and Linux, with offline access and presenter mode listed. Windows is distributed as a zip archive without an installer. A Docker setup combines Sozi with Inkscape and conversion tools. It is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, is not sold commercially, and accepts donations.
