The PowerPoint generator
you actually own.
Your API key. Your templates. Your files, on your own disk. Out comes a real
.pptx that opens properly in PowerPoint — and you pay for it once.
One-time purchase · No subscription · Nothing is uploaded to us
Three things a cloud slide tool cannot give you
Not because those tools are badly made. Because of where they run and how they are sold.
Your key, your bill, no markup
You bring your own AI provider and pay them their price, directly. There is no monthly fee here priced to cover the heaviest user in the room, and no per-deck charge. A month you build nothing costs you nothing.
Your documents never leave
There is no account and no upload, because there is no server to upload to. Projects and
finished decks are written to your own Documents folder. The only thing that
sees your material is the model you chose, under your own account.
A file that is still yours tomorrow
Charts and tables can export as native PowerPoint objects, so Edit Data opens a real worksheet instead of a drawing nobody can change. Cancel a subscription and you lose access; here there is nothing to cancel.
Works with the model you already pay for
Pick one in Settings and paste the key. Switch whenever you like — the deck does not care.
- Anthropic Claude
- DeepSeek
- OpenRouter
- Google Gemini
- Ollama
- Any Anthropic-compatible endpoint
Already paying for Claude Pro or Max? Sign in with that account instead of a key. Running Ollama locally? Then a deck never touches the internet at all.
Three steps, and you are in control of the middle one
Most tools hand you a finished deck and leave you to argue with it. This one stops and asks.
Give it your sources
PDFs, Word files, slides, notes, or a plain description of what the deck is for. They are copied into the project — your originals are never edited in place.
Approve the outline
Before a single slide is drawn you see the proposed structure and look, and change it. This is where a deck is won or lost, so it is not automated away.
Export and keep editing
Out comes a .pptx. Reopen it later, mark it up in the slide editor, and ask
for a re-export — the project keeps its history.
Everything is in the download. Nothing is held back.
One purchase, the whole application. There is no tier above this one.
Native charts and tables
Ask for native objects and a chart keeps its underlying data, so a colleague can correct a number without rebuilding the slide.
Templates that combine
A brand, a deck style and a layout are separate things, so you can hold your identity steady and still change the shape of the deck.
Build a template from a deck
Point it at an existing .pptx and it becomes a reusable template — your
house style, without rebuilding it by hand.
AI images, or none at all
Generate illustrations and covers in a style you describe, restrict images to icons only, or turn the whole thing off.
Reopen and revise
A finished deck can be reopened, annotated in the slide editor, and re-exported without starting the run again.
English and Vietnamese
The whole interface, and the deck it writes for you — whatever language your sources happen to be in.
Where the two models actually diverge
This compares two ways of selling software, not two brands. A subscription service run in someone else's data centre works the way the left column describes because that is what it is.
| A cloud subscription tool | Slidivo | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your documents sit | On their servers, under their policy | On your disk. There is no server |
| What a quiet month costs | The same as a busy one | Nothing. You already bought it |
| What the AI costs | Bundled, at their margin | Your provider's price, paid to them |
| If you stop paying | Access ends | Nothing happens. It is yours |
| Working offline | Needs the connection | The app always; a whole deck too, with a local model |
| Charts in the export | Varies by tool | Real PowerPoint objects, on request |
No subscription. Pay once, use forever.

Secure checkout by Polar · Licence key by email
The price does not include AI usage. You bring a provider key or a Claude Pro/Max account and they bill you directly — which is exactly why there is nothing monthly here.
The ones people actually ask
Where do I get my licence key?
It is emailed the moment the payment clears, and it is always available again in your customer portal. In the app, open Settings → License, paste it in, and press Check.
How many machines can I use it on?
Three — a laptop, a desktop, and one spare for the day you replace a machine. If you run out because of a dead Mac, release one from the customer portal or write to us.
Does it work without internet?
The app does. It remembers your licence is good for 30 days between checks, so a flight, a hotel or a captive wifi portal changes nothing. If our licence server is unreachable you keep working — we will not lock you out of something you paid for because of our outage.
Building a deck needs to reach whichever model you chose, unless you run Ollama locally, in which case that works offline too.
Why do I need my own AI key? Why is it not included?
Two reasons, both in your favour. Your documents go straight from your Mac to the provider you picked, under your own account — they never pass through us, because there is no "us" in the path. And you pay the model's real price with no markup.
Is the exported file a real PowerPoint file?
Yes — a genuine .pptx that opens in PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides.
Turn on native objects and charts keep their underlying data, so Edit Data opens a
real worksheet rather than a drawing you cannot change.
What are the system requirements?
macOS on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Everything the app needs is inside the download — there is no Python, Node or command-line setup. A Windows build is in progress.
Can I get a refund?
If Slidivo is not for you, write to us within 14 days of buying and we will refund the licence in full. No reason needed. Polar, our merchant of record, issues the refund to the card you paid with.
Stop rebuilding the same deck
Give it the documents you already wrote, and get back something you can present on Monday.
