Turn a research paper into presentation slides
Paste a paper or drop its PDF and get the first slides of a talk: question, method, results, limits and takeaway. Free preview, no sign-up.
This preview shows the first 3 slides and does not keep your file.
A finished presentation, made from one sentence
Real photos with credits or generated pictures, charts and timelines built only from your own numbers and steps. Opens in the slide editor and downloads as PowerPoint.

A paper is organised for reviewers; a talk is organised for an audience that has ten minutes. The usual shortcut, screenshots of tables and abstracts pasted on slides, loses the room. This tool reads a paper's text and builds the arc of a talk instead: the question, who and how many were studied, what was found with its numbers, what the limits are, and what to take away. Sample sizes and statistics stay as the paper states them.
What you get
A talk, not a copy
Slides follow question, method, results, limits and takeaway rather than the paper's page order.
Numbers kept exact
Sample sizes, means, p-values and effect sizes are carried over as written.
Limits included
The limitations the authors name get their own slide, which journal clubs and defences always ask about.
How it works
- Step 1

- Step 2
Read the first slides of the talk.
- Step 3
Create a free account to build the full deck, add figures and export to PowerPoint.
Who uses it
Graduate students
Prepare a journal club presentation of a paper you have read.
Researchers
Draft a conference talk from your own manuscript.
Lecturers
Present a landmark study to a class in ten slides.
Questions
Does it include the figures from the paper?
The preview works from the text. In your account you can add figures and charts to slides yourself.
Is it suitable for a thesis defence?
It gives you a structured first draft of the argument. A defence deck needs your own judgement on what to stress, which you can edit in your account.
Will it invent results?
It is told to use only what the paper says, but check every number against the paper before you present.
How long can the paper be?
The preview reads up to 5 PDF pages or about 6,000 characters of text. Accounts handle full papers.
