An alternative to PowerPoint presentations, built live
If you want an alternative to PowerPoint presentations, the first question is what you are actually optimising for. DeckSlide is not trying to be a better slide-document editor; it is a different thing — an animated deck you present live to an audience in their browser. That makes it a strong alternative for talks, and a poor one if you need a file to send.

Where it is genuinely better than PowerPoint
For a live, design-led talk, DeckSlide does things PowerPoint does not. The animation goes deeper — on-canvas keyframing, curved motion paths, orient-to-path, true shape morphing, clipping and gradient masks, sixteen blend modes — and it is delivered live: press Present and the audience receives the real animated deck in-browser, synced to you, with chat, private messages, raised hands and subtitles around it. PowerPoint has no audience room of its own.
Free to try in the browser
As a free online PowerPoint alternative, you can open the full editor with no account and build before you sign up, then present live for free — free and paid accounts currently share the same live capability. There is nothing to install, and it runs the same on any operating system.
Where PowerPoint still wins
Be clear about the trade. There is no PowerPoint file, PDF or image export and no way to download the deck, so if you need a document to email or open offline, PowerPoint remains the right tool. DeckSlide has a speaker-notes panel on the presenter console. It has no tables and no template gallery. It is an alternative for presenting live, not a drop-in replacement for producing and sending files.
Questions, answered honestly
presentation software better than powerpoint
For a live, animated talk DeckSlide can be better than PowerPoint — deeper animation and a built-in audience room. For producing a file to send or print, PowerPoint is still the right choice, since DeckSlide has no export.
free online powerpoint alternative
You can use DeckSlide free in the browser with no account to try it, and present live for free. Just note there is no file export and no templates, unlike PowerPoint.
can I open a PowerPoint file or export to one
Import only. A .pptx opens as editable layers — text, images and shapes keep their positions — but there is no PowerPoint export. DeckSlide authors its own animated decks and presents them live; it never produces a .pptx file.
