Use tool ↗About Twistly
Twistly generates slide decks. You give it a topic, paste text, or upload a PDF, Word file or plain text, and it lays out structured slides with formatting and optional speaker notes. What sets it apart from the browser-only deck generators is distribution: it ships as a Microsoft 365 add-in through AppSource, so it runs inside desktop PowerPoint and PowerPoint on the web, alongside its own app and a Slack bot. Extras include a PPT translator, an image generator and custom brand templates. The free Starter tier covers unlimited presentations up to ten slides; Pro at $7 a month raises the slide ceiling and unlocks AI images. No company entity is named.

Pros & cons of Twistly
The cheapest credible deck generator we have priced, and the only one here that lives inside PowerPoint rather than exporting to it — which matters if your organisation runs on .pptx and a corporate template. Slide caps are the limiting factor: 10 free, 35 on Pro, so long training decks need a different tool.
Pros
- Runs as a Microsoft 365 add-in in desktop PowerPoint and PowerPoint on the web
- Accepts PDF, Word and raw text as input, not just a prompt
- Free tier is genuinely usable at up to 10 slides with the badge removed
- Pro is $7/month, well under the category norm
- Translator, AI image generation and custom brand templates included
Cons
- Hard slide caps per tier (10 free, 35 Pro)
- No API
- No legal entity, address or country published
- Live prices are injected by script and invisible to anything but a browser
Best for
- Students and teachers turning notes or a PDF into slides
- Sales and HR teams tied to a PowerPoint template
- Anyone who wants to stay inside Office rather than a web editor
Not for
- Decks longer than 35 slides
- Teams needing an API or programmatic generation
Watch out: Support is a single email address; there is no named company behind it.
