Slides

Thanks to all 300,000+ of you who’ve joined Slides since we launched two years ago! It’s been an incredible journey so far and we cannot wait to show you what we’ve got in store for the coming year. Stay tuned!

Check out this deck for a recap of what we’ve built so far: http://slides.com/news/make-better-presentations

Starting today you can access all media that you upload to Slides through your own personal media library. This makes it easy to reuse assets and gives you full control over your content, including the ability to permanently delete it from our servers.

You can organize media using tags and even search to find assets based on their filename or media type. The media library appears automatically when you insert a new image in your slide deck.

For teams

Teams on slides have access to a shared media library which all members can make use of. Sharing media this way is great for key assets like company logos, branding material and icon sets.

SVG

We’ve also added support for SVG images! This makes it possible to add scalable graphics that will look crisp no matter the display size your presentation appears on. Check out some examples at http://slides.com/news/svg.

Learn more about the media library in the help article.

Your presentations can now be exported to ZIP! The downloaded ZIP archive contains everything you need to access the presentation offline or even host it on your own site. Simply download, unzip and open the index.html file.

Together with our existing PDF and Dropbox exports this provides you with a great option no matter where your presentation needs to go.

ZIP exports are only available to Slides Pro and Team users.

Find out more in the help article. 

We’ve completely overhauled the way private decks can be shared. Now you can create any number of secret links to your presentation and those links can optionally be password protected for added security.

What’s awesome about this is that you can create unique links based on who you’re sharing the deck with. You’ll even be able to see how many times the link was opened when you return to the share panel. If you decide to remove a link, access for that user is then revoked.

Using the share panel you can link to, embed and even send a direct email with your secret link to the presentation.

We hope you enjoy!

Oh, and here’s a fun preview of what a user sees on the password page:

Presentations can now be imported from PDF and PowerPoint! This makes it easier than ever to use Slides modern presentation tools to share your existing content.

Note that imported slides can’t be individually edited for now. More info and instructions in the help article.

Slides is made for developers. Check out how to unlock advanced editing features: http://slides.com/news/slides-for-developers

Now you can show math formulas in your presentations! Find out more: http://slides.com/news/math

Slides Pro users can now use our Google Analytics integration to access non-personally identifiable data about who’s viewing their content. This helps you determine which content that is performing well and see where your visitors are coming from.

Slides Teams have access to the same analytics data, centralized for the whole team.

Learn more and see setup instructions in this help article.

Happy analyzing!

With Slides you never need to worry about losing any of your work. Our revision history functionality allows you to easily go back and look at a presentation from any point in time. If you want, you can then choose to roll back to the given version.

This feature was previously reserved for Pro accounts but starting today we have made it available to everyone, for free.

We have launched an all new way to create presentations! This is a complete redesign that gives you much greater control over both content and layout without compromising in the least on ease-of-use.

All of your new presentations can be created using this editor and existing ones will remain editable using the old editor.
