Keynote for iOS

Powerful creative tools

Make a great show of your ideas.

Picture a dazzling presentation. Then make it happen with easy-to-use visual tools. Take a photo and drop it in without leaving your presentation. Add reflections and picture frames. Punch up your data with interactive charts. Tie it all together with cinema-quality transitions. And even multitask as you work using the three new iOS 9 split-screen views on your iPad. Keynote is built to handle it. Spectacularly.

Add some color. In precisely the shade you want.

Create custom colors on your iPad that are exactly the hue you want. Or choose from a wide selection of preset color options. Drag your finger to sample a color in your presentation and apply it anywhere.

Truly special effects.

Use over 30 stunning cinematic transitions and effects for objects and text that will affect your audience in a big way.

A pixel‑perfect performance.

Pixel-accurate rulers and alignment guides make it effortless to line up elements on your slide. Just drag an object until the guide appears, then let go. Everything literally snaps into position.

Visual aids for your visual aids.

Powerful image editing tools help you make every frame an eye-opener. Automatically tweak photos with one-click image enhancement. Remove a photo’s background with Instant Alpha. Or even add advanced graphics like contact shadows.

Make your pitch perfect with presentation tools.

Versatile tools let you present from any device you want — the way you want. The Presenter Display lets you see your notes and gives you more flexibility while you present. Use the Highlighter to sketch directly on your slides. Quickly pair nearby iOS devices to control your presentation on one device from another — even without a wireless network.

Do more with your iPad screen. Any way you slice it.

Multitasking is simple with the new iOS 9 split-screen views. Use Slide Over, Picture in Picture or Split View to divide your screen between Keynote and another app. Now you have three ways to do two things at once.

Designed for simplicity

It’s easy to get the show started.

Right from the first tap, Keynote sets the stage for a compelling presentation. An intuitive interface puts all the tools you need front and center. It’s optimized for Multi-Touch. Or for using time-saving shortcuts when you connect a keyboard to your iPad. And it’s built to harness the 64-bit performance of iOS 9. So everything runs smoothly — no matter how big or graphically rich.

Look good. Before you’ve made your first point.

Apple-designed themes instantly give your presentation a polished look. Choose from over 30 eye-catching designs.

Your canvas is now the center of attention.

The canvas you work on is centered in your window, making it easier to handle objects outside the slide borders. It may seem like a little thing. Until you have to animate something from offscreen.

A shortcut to your shortcuts.

The new iOS 9 Shortcut Bar puts formatting tools right on your iPad keyboard so they’re always within easy reach while you type. And connecting a wireless keyboard lets you press Command, Option, and Control to enable handy keyboard shortcuts.

Welcome to orientation.

Now you can present in portrait as well as landscape view. So you can let the content of your presentation dictate the direction.

Impressive charts

Data takes center stage.

When it comes to explaining data, a chart is worth a thousand words. Tap to choose from column, bar, pie, scatter, bubble charts, and more. Use animation to add visual impact. And make your charts interactive to focus attention on important stages of the story. The effect is huge, but the effort isn’t.

Interactive charts that steal the show.

Take your audience through your data step by step with interactive charts. Just move the slider to advance your chart through the data points. And to wow the audience.

Animation speaks louder than words.

Chart animations let you put data into action to make your point more forcefully. Use 30 cinematic effects to punch up how your chart appears, builds, and goes away.

Make your charts as unique as your data.

With just a few taps, you can style your chart. Choose types, pick textures, specify 2D or 3D, and much more. So your data has your personality.

Keynote everywhere

Put all your devices to work. Together.

You don’t work in just one place on just one device. The same goes for Keynote. Presentations created on your Mac look exactly the same on your iPhone or iPad and vice versa. And it’s effortless to move your work from one device to another. You can even access your presentations from the web, share them, and collaborate with others in real time.

Always at hand.

Now with iCloud Drive, you have a place in the cloud where you can store all kinds of files, organize them however you want, and access them from any of your devices. Put a presentation in an iCloud Drive folder on one device and you’ll find it in the same folder on your other devices with your latest edits — so you never have to wonder what’s where or which is the latest version.

See it here. See it there.

With Handoff, you can seamlessly switch from Keynote on your iOS device to Keynote on your Mac and vice versa. Whatever presentation you were last working on will be there waiting for you with all your latest edits. Thanks to a single file format shared by Keynote for Mac and Keynote for iOS, your presentation will look the same no matter the device.

Easy to share

Expand your audience.

Keynote makes it easy to share your show with a cast of dozens. Right from the toolbar, you can send a copy of your file. Or share a link to your presentation with anyone you want. So nobody has to wrangle lots of copies. You can even work on files that are stored with third-party services. And presentations can be sent via services such as Gmail or Dropbox. It makes connecting with your team — and ultimately your audience — a lot smoother.

AirDrop. Just tap Share and it’s there.

AirDrop lets you instantly and securely send your presentation directly to someone nearby over Wi‑Fi, without having to attach it to an email or a message.

Lots of ways to deliver your presentation. Before you give it.

Quickly and easily share a link to your work via Mail, Messages, Twitter, or Facebook. So colleagues can conveniently view the shared presentation in any browser — even on Android. Getting all the players involved is easier than ever.

A terrific show. In all formats.

Export your presentation to Microsoft PowerPoint, PDF, QuickTime, HTML, Images, or Keynote ’09 formats. Or export directly to YouTube and Vimeo to turn your show into a worldwide event.

Microsoft PowerPoint friendly

You don’t have to work in Office to work with Office.

Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft PowerPoint? Keynote makes it a great working relationship. You can save Keynote documents as PowerPoint files. Or import and edit PowerPoint documents right in Keynote. Most popular PowerPoint features are supported, too. Now it’s no problem to work on the same project. Even if you use different apps.
