TurboslideDocumentationNew Presentation

Getting started

Turboslide is a slides editor in the browser. Make a presentation, present it and send the link. No account is needed.

Open turboslide.com/new to start a blank presentation. It is saved in this browser as you type. If you sign in later, the presentations you made in this browser move to your account.

Make your first presentation

  1. Start a presentation

    Go to /new, or pick a template from Your Presentations at /decks.

  2. Add and arrange slides

    Press Ctrl+M to add a slide after the current one. Press Cmd+D (Ctrl+D on Windows) to duplicate it and Delete to remove it. Drag a card in the filmstrip on the left to move a slide.

  3. Write on the slide

    Click a text box on the slide and type. Click under the slide, where it reads Click to add speaker notes, to write what you will say.

  4. Present it

    Click Slideshow, or press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+F5 on Windows). Open the arrow beside Slideshow and choose Presenter view to see your notes and the next slide in a second window.

What you need to know first

  • Every change is saved as you make it. There is no Save button. File > Version history lists earlier versions and restores one.
  • The menus at the top hold every command. Help > Search the menus (Alt+/) finds a command by its name, and Help > Keyboard shortcuts lists the keys.
  • A presentation you made without an account lives in this browser. Clearing the browser's site data removes it. Sign in, or download a Turboslide file under File > Download, to keep a copy elsewhere.
  • Share gives a link. Anyone with a view link can open the presentation; an edit link lets them change it.

Agents use the same actions

Every command in the menus is also an action that a program or an AI agent can run. The same actions are reachable four ways, and each one checks its input the same way.

The turboslide command line works on a presentation folder on your computer:

turboslide info --json
turboslide slide new --layout split --after title

See The command line.
