Overview

DeckCraft is ArtCraft's open source presentation app. It includes slide masters, themes, vector shapes, transitions, presenter view, and PPTX support.

About

DeckCraft lets you build slides with reusable masters and themes instead of formatting each page by hand. It has shapes, connectors, animations, speaker notes, and a presenter view for delivering a talk. The project says it can open and save PPTX files and export slides to PDF. ArtCraft has installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux, as well as a browser build you can host yourself. If you trade decks with PowerPoint users, check fonts, layout, and animations on the files you actually use.

Good for

  • — Making presentations with reusable layouts and themes.
  • — Delivering talks with speaker notes and presenter view.
  • — Working with PPTX files in a free editor.

Limitations

  • — Check complex PPTX layouts and animations after import or export.
  • — The maker describes a local editor, not live PowerPoint collaboration.
