What a Deck Skill gives you
Claude writes the content. The Skill brings the design, the editor and the export.
Edit in the browser
A finished design, not a template to fill
Each Deck Skill carries its own layouts, type and colour rules, so your outline lands on slides that already look designed. Change wording, pictures and slide order in the browser before you export.
An editable PPTX at the end
Export a .pptx whose text and notes stay editable in PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides. Each Skill page says which parts, such as drawn backgrounds, become images.
Your deck lives in your project
The deck, its data and the exported file sit in your own folder. Next quarter, ask Claude to update the numbers and export again instead of rebuilding slides by hand.

Claude slides FAQ
Can Claude make slides?
Yes. In a chat it drafts outlines and simple decks. With a Deck Skill in Claude Code or Codex it builds a designed deck you can edit in the browser and export as an editable PowerPoint file.
Is Claude a good presentation maker?
Claude is strong at the content: structure, wording and turning data into slides. On its own the design stays plain. A Deck Skill adds a tested visual style, so every slide in the deck looks like it belongs together.
Can Claude make a PowerPoint file?
Yes. Deck Skills export an editable .pptx from Claude Code or Codex. To edit a deck you already have inside PowerPoint, Anthropic’s Claude for PowerPoint add-in is the better fit; our Claude PowerPoint guide compares both.
What is a Claude presentation skill?
A SKILL.md folder that teaches Claude one deck design: layouts for every kind of slide, type and colour rules, a browser editor and the PPTX export. You install it once and reuse it for every talk.
Are there free Deck Skills?
Yes. The three decks under “Install a free Deck Skill now” are free: copy the prompt into your agent. The other decks on this page are our featured picks; some are free, the rest cost $4.99 once or come with Pro. Decks that generate new artwork can use a paid image service, and each Skill page says so before you install.
Can it use my brand colours and fonts?
Yes, when the Skill takes brand inputs. Give Claude your colours, fonts and logo, or edit the style rules in the Skill once and every new deck follows them.
