· 3 reviewsPowerPoint add-in for teams that produce many branded decks
"presentaid brings layout, brand control, charts and reporting into the PowerPoint Ribbon. Its files stay native PowerPoint, so colleagues without the add-in can still edit them. The recent additions are useful: Design Checker for brand consistency, Charts with waterfall and Mekko, Dynamic Grid V2 with SharePoint and pivot table sources, and a File Size Inspector."
Klare Effizienzsteigerung in PowerPoint / Office 365
"presentaid liefert Consulting-Grade-Charts, die sich direkt in PowerPoint und Excel einbetten lassen. Für unser monatliches SteerCo funktioniert die Aktualisierung der Charts jetzt auf Knopfdruck. Früher war das jeden Monat Handarbeit. Auch bei neuen Slide Decks spare ich Zeit. Die lange Suche nach einer Vorlage entfällt, weil ich die freigegebene Unternehmensvorlage immer direkt zur Hand habe. Farben und Folienbibliothek sind im Tool verfügbar, ich starte also jedes Mal von einer guten Basis und baue ohne Mehraufwand Corporate-Design-konforme Folien. Insgesamt spart presentaid mir pro Woche mehrere Stunden bei Slide Design und Polishing."

Verified review on Capterra · Oct 31, 2026A good tool for efficiency-focused presentation creation.
"Intuitive layout and carefully considered features for use in strategy consulting. The UI is easy to navigate and offers no features lacking compared to other add-ins, while still providing practical additional features. One gets the feeling that the features and roadmap are very closely aligned with the daily work of highly efficiency-oriented teams."Translated by Capterra
"With presentaid we have found a great helper, which really simplifies and speeds up our daily work with PowerPoint. And this, although we already use 2 other add-ins. But in fact, we haven't come across a tool before that groups, centers and aligns objects as quickly and easily as presentaid."
