Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft PowerPoint helps users create, present, and share slide decks through web, desktop, and mobile versions for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. The free web tier includes sharing, real-time collaboration, basic tools, dictation, and 5 GB of storage. Customizable templates support slide design, and users can write or draw on presentations and convert input to text or shapes. Copilot can edit presentations by rewriting, reorganizing, or adding slides. Speaker Coach gives AI-driven feedback on delivery, while Accessibility Assistant recommends adjustments to format, color, and word choice. Cameo lets users present slides with prerecorded video.
