The Best AI Presentation Generators - Free Tools Guide
If you're one of our attentive readers, you know: presentation maker AI is one of our favorite categories because the technology performs like an ambitious new hire. One tool stands out among all others: Gamma! Where some struggle with technical glitches (Simplified) or are tailored to a small niche (Slidebean) Gamma is like the ChatGPT for presentations.
But let's go through all the free packages of AI presentation generators one by one. We will share what the trial scopes include, meaning how many free credits you have to create your deck.
Also, some AI tools might be free, but as your time and nerves are valuable too, we don't want you to waste any of them. Therefore, we will add a short info on the pros and cons of each AI ppt maker.
So what's the best AI presentation generator (free)
Gamma!
As we mentioned above, Gamma can actually create slides in seconds and state-of-the-art ai-generated presentations. Just type in a prompt and Gamma can create the basic structure, generate text and even a full presentations on its own. From there I personalize the slide content to make it my own. I also use it to create marketing materials like eBooks and other lead magnets.
Free Access: 400 AI credits at signup and free basic plan
Pros:
Flawless performance
Ease of use
Prompt-to-present feature provides a solid basic structure for any topic
Integrated text & image generator
Great templates
AI capabilities superb
Cons: -?
Prezi
With their modern zoom in-and-out approach, which reminds me of a Miro board for slide decks, this tool is for seasoned presenters who prefer to forget about PDFs and Google slides.
Free Access: 14-day trial, but you have to sign up with your credit card
Pros:
Refreshing new approach to create presentations
Easy navigation, fresh template designs
Interactive presentation
Cons:
Easy to get lost within a presentation, therefore we don't recommend this tool to newbees
Uses stock images instead of generated by the AI
Pitch
Nice free AI presentation maker with good designs but not always perfect performance. Tends to have technical glitches, but has improved in the last few months.
Free Access: Offers free basic plan
Pros:
"Room" feature let's clients easily review brand materials.
Basic free plan.
Cons:
Prompt to presentation feature doesn't actually provide content but only utility pages.
Requires more input from user because AI capabilities are limited.
The ai-generated images mostly don't fit.
Simplified
Simplified is an all-rounder tool with different modules: Text Gen, Design Gen, Video Gen, Social Media Management and it also generates slides. It can do everything on a decent level but has technical hiccups at times and the challenge might me more to find a template you like.
Free Access: 3 AI generation credits (one per presentation)
Pros:
all-in-one tool
cheap
Cons:
Tool Interface a bit crowded
Performance wonky (has technical glitches)
AI slide templates look a bit old school
Tome
Pitch Deck Creator is tailored towards marketing teams; for example, you can easily integrate other productivity tools. Does not use AI on its free plan. So marketers can mix and match their ideas into a powerpoint format. Upload your own images or use third-party photo and videos from their stock library.
Free Access: Basic plan but without AI features
Pros:
Lets you easily embed Miro boards, Google's Looker, or Airtable data
Cons:
The dashboard is not intuitive
The only data format for data integration is the CVS format
Lengthy onboarding (asks questions about your business)
Did you notice how we didn't even add PowerPoint to this list? We just recently tested it again, hoping Microsoft has changed something about their interface in the last 30 years. Or didn't just stack modules adjacent to PowerPoint, but within it. No, they refuse to build a modern tool adequate for 2025. So we refuse to add them to our list, even though they offer AI presentation generator free.
By the way, as a former president of the Toastmasters in Lisbon, Lili knows a thing or two about presentations. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions!
