Getting started

Install MagicSlides from the Google Workspace Marketplace, open Google Slides, and go to Extensions → MagicSlides AI. Enter a topic, paste text, upload a file (PDF, DOCX), or paste a YouTube link, choose a template, and generate the presentation; the result is created directly inside Google Slides, ready for you to keep editing like any normal presentation.

Use cases

Turn any content into a presentation
Transforming text, a PDF, a web article, or even a YouTube video into a structured presentation automatically.
Multilingual presentations
Generating ready-to-use presentations in over 136 languages, useful for international teams or audiences.
Working directly inside Google Slides
Generating and editing without leaving Google Slides, avoiding exporting and importing between different tools.
Reuse across multiple formats
Exporting the result as a .PPTX file compatible with PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Keynote, so you can share it based on what each recipient uses.

Advanced setup

  1. Supported input sources
    Accepts plain text, PDF, DOCX, article URLs, or YouTube links as source material to generate the presentation.
  2. Themes and visual customization
    You can choose themes, fonts, color palettes, and layouts before or after generating the content, depending on how much control you want from the start.
  3. Dual compatibility
    Works with both Google Slides and PowerPoint, letting each user work on the platform they prefer.

Tips

  • If you start from a YouTube video, check that the generated content accurately reflects the key points — the automatic summary sometimes prioritizes poorly depending on the video's length.
  • Use an already-structured PDF or document as the source instead of free text when you want the slide order to closely follow the original.
  • Take advantage of the free plan to try the full workflow before deciding whether you need the premium templates and options.
  • Edit directly in Google Slides after generation instead of going back to MagicSlides for every minor tweak — it's faster for one-off touch-ups.
