Use tool ↗About MagicSlides
MagicSlides takes a prompt, document, web page or video and returns a structured deck with headings, bullets and images that exports to PowerPoint or Google Slides. It runs as a web app, a Google Workspace add-on and a Chrome extension, so decks can be built inside the tools people already present from. A documented API covers programmatic deck generation for products that need it.

Pros & cons of MagicSlides
Worth paying for when the deck has to end up as a real .pptx or a Google Slides file colleagues can edit, which is exactly the gap Gamma leaves open. Design quality is ordinary, so treat it as a first-draft generator rather than a finished deck.
Pros
- a native Google Slides add-on removes the usual export-and-reimport dance
- unusually wide input range: PDF, DOC/DOCX, images, MP4, YouTube links and plain URLs
- an API tier exists, which most consumer deck generators do not offer
- Zapier and ChatGPT integrations make it scriptable without custom code
Cons
- slide design is template-driven and looks it beside Gamma or Tome
- the two cheaper plans cap both decks per month (10 and 50) and slides per deck (10 and 15), so long decks push you to Premium
- the pricing page shows no free tier despite the free signup call to action
- generated bullets usually need a manual rewrite before presenting
Best for
- students and analysts turning a paper, PDF or article into a lecture-style deck
- teams locked into PowerPoint or Google Workspace templates
- generating decks programmatically from another product via the API
Not for
- pitch decks or anything where visual craft is the point
- strict corporate brand templates with fixed layout rules
Watch out: The per-month figures shown first ($6.67, $12.42, $23.25) are annual prepay prices of $80, $149 and $279; paying month to month costs $8, $16 and $29.
