20 Great Examples of PowerPoint Presentation Design [+ Templates]
Published: August 06, 2024
When it comes to PowerPoint presentation design, there's no shortage of avenues you can take.
While all that choice — colors, formats, visuals, fonts — can feel liberating, it‘s important that you’re careful in your selection as not all design combinations add up to success.
In this blog post, I’m sharing some of my favorite PowerPoint tips and templates to help you nail your next presentation.

In my opinion, a great PowerPoint presentation gets the point across succinctly while using a design that doesn't detract from it.
Here are some of the elements I like to keep in mind when I’m building my own.
1. Minimal Animations and Transitions
Believe it or not, animations and transitions can take away from your PowerPoint presentation. Why? Well, they distract from the content you worked so hard on.
A good PowerPoint presentation keeps the focus on your argument by keeping animations and transitions to a minimum. I suggest using them tastefully and sparingly to emphasize a point or bring attention to a certain part of an image.
2. Cohesive Color Palette
I like to refresh my memory on color theory when creating a new PowerPoint presentation.
A cohesive color palette uses complementary and analogous colors to draw the audience’s attention and help emphasize certain aspects at the right time.
Image source
Mesmerize your audience by adding some neon colors and effects to your PowerPoint slides. Adding pops of color to your presentation will create visual interest and keep your audience engaged.
What I like: Neon will add personality and depth to your presentation and will help the information you're providing stand out and be more memorable.
2. Use an interesting background image.
Do you have some interesting nature photos from a recent road trip? Or maybe a holiday passed, and you have gorgeous photos to share? If so, consider incorporating them into your PowerPoint.
What I like: PowerPoints don't have to be stuffy and boring. They can be fun and a unique or interesting background will enhance the experience of your presentation.
3. Or be minimal.
Have you ever heard of K.I.S.S.? Not the band! I mean, Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. If you're worried too many colors or visuals could take attention away from the message of your presentation, consider going minimal.
Pro tip: Stick to no more than three colors if you're going for a minimalist design in your slides.
4. Incorporate illustrations.
Illustrations are a great way to highlight or break down a point in your presentation. They can also add a bit of whimsy and fun to keep viewers engaged.
5. Use all caps.
Using all capital letters can draw your audience's eyes to where you need them, helping cement your message in their minds. It can also just be aesthetically pleasing.
Pro tip: If you choose to use all capital letters, use varying fonts so readers can tell which information is important and which are supporting details.
6. Alternate slide layouts
You don't want readers to grow bored with your presentation. So, to retain visual interest, use alternating slide layouts. The example above shows PowerPoint slides alternating between vertical and horizontal layouts.
This keeps things interesting and ensures your presentation isn't monotonous.
7. Inject a little humor.
Humor is a great way to drive a point home and help people remember the information you're presenting. People remember a good joke, so if you have a funny pun to connect to a concept in a presentation, why not use it in a slide?
Pro tip: Remember you're in a professional setting, so keep your jokes appropriate. If you're worried a joke can get you a meeting with HR, then keep it to yourself.
8. Use duotones.
Duotones (or gradience) can take the aesthetic of your PowerPoint to new levels. They can provide a calming energy to your presentation and make viewers feel relaxed and eager to stay focused.
9. Include printed materials.
Let's say you have a PowerPoint you're proud of, but you want to go that extra mile to ensure your audience understands the material. A great way to do this would be to supplement your presentation with printed materials, as such as:
- Pamphlets
- Printed slides
- Short quizzes on the material
10. Keep it to one chart or graph per slide.
This is both a design example and a warning. Graphs and charts are an excellent way of displaying quantitative data in a digestible format.
However, you should have no more than one graph or chart per slide so your presentation doesn't get too confusing or muddled.
11. Use a large font.
Just like capital letters, a large font will help your shift your audience's focus to key points in your presentation.
Pro tip: You can combine large fonts and capital letters to boost its effectiveness.
12. Include videos.
Embedding a video into your PowerPoint can help you expand on a point or effectively break down a complex topic. You can either embed a video from a platform like YouTube or TikTok or use HubSpot's Clip Creator to make your own.
Pro tip: Try to keep videos short, like, under a minute, and don't use more than one or two.
13. Use GIFs.
GIFs add more visual interest, and they can be a great way to add humor or personal touch to your PowerPoint presentation.
14. Use contrasting colors when comparing two ideas or arguments.
Contrasting colors can convey the difference between two opposing thoughts or arguments in a way that is visually appealing.
15. Add a touch of nature.
If you want your presentation to exude a calming energy to your audience, including images of trees, flowers, and natural landscapes can do the trick.
PowerPoint Theme Ideas
Atlas (theme).
Covering a more creative subject for a younger or more energetic audience? I’d recommend using the cover slide design below. Its vibrant red color blocks and fun lines will appeal to your audience.
This simplistic presentation example employs several different colors and font weights, but instead of coming off as disconnected, the varied colors work with one another to create contrast and call out specific concepts.
What I like: The big, bold numbers help set the reader's expectations, as they clearly signify how far along the viewer is in the list of tips.
10. “Pixar's 22 Rules to Phenomenal Storytelling,” Gavin McMahon
This presentation by Gavin McMahon features color in all the right places. While each of the background images boasts a bright, spotlight-like design, all the characters are intentionally blacked out.
What I like: This helps keep the focus on the tips, while still incorporating visuals. Not to mention, it's still easy for me to identify each character without the details. (I found you on slide eight, Nemo.)
11. “Facebook Engagement and Activity Report,” We Are Social
Here's another great example of data visualization in the wild.
What I like: Rather than displaying numbers and statistics straight up, this presentation calls upon interesting, colorful graphs, and charts to present the information in a way that just makes sense.
12. “The GaryVee Content Model,” Gary Vaynerchuk
This wouldn‘t be a true Gary Vaynerchuk presentation if it wasn’t a little loud, am I right?
What I like: Aside from the fact that I love the eye-catching, bright yellow background, Vaynerchuk does a great job of incorporating screenshots on each slide to create a visual tutorial that coincides with the tips. He also does a great job including a visual table of contents that shows your progress as you go .
13. “20 Tweetable Quotes to Inspire Marketing & Design Creative Genius,” IMPACT Branding & Design
We‘ve all seen our fair share of quote-chronicling presentations but that isn’t to say they were all done well. Often the background images are poor quality, the text is too small, or there isn't enough contrast.
Well, this professional presentation from IMPACT Branding & Design suffers from none of said challenges.
What I like: The colorful filters over each background image create just enough contrast for the quotes to stand out.
14. “The Great State of Design,” Stacy Kvernmo
This presentation offers up a lot of information in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming.
What I like: The contrasting colors create visual interest and “pop,” and the comic images (slides 6 through 12) are used to make the information seem less buttoned-up and overwhelming.
15. “Clickbait: A Guide To Writing Un-Ignorable Headlines,” Ethos3
Not going to lie, it was the title that convinced me to click through to this presentation but the awesome design kept me there once I arrived.
What I like: This simple design adheres to a consistent color pattern and leverages bullet points and varied fonts to break up the text nicely.
16. “Digital Transformation in 50 Soundbites,” Julie Dodd
This design highlights a great alternative to the “text-over-image” display we've grown used to seeing.
What I like: By leveraging a split-screen approach to each presentation slide, Julie Dodd was able to serve up a clean, legible quote without sacrificing the power of a strong visual.
17. “Fix Your Really Bad PowerPoint,” Slide Comet
When you‘re creating a PowerPoint about how everyone’s PowerPoints stink, yours had better be terrific. The one above, based on the ebook by Seth Godin, keeps it simple without boring its audience.
What I like: Its clever combinations of fonts, together with consistent color across each slide, ensure you're neither overwhelmed nor unengaged.
18. “How Google Works,” Eric Schmidt
Simple, clever doodles tell the story of Google in a fun and creative way. This presentation reads almost like a storybook, making it easy to move from one slide to the next.
What I like: This uncluttered approach provides viewers with an easy-to-understand explanation of a complicated topic.
19. “What Really Differentiates the Best Content Marketers From The Rest,” Ross Simmonds
Let‘s be honest: These graphics are hard not to love. I especially appreciate the author’s cartoonified self-portrait that closes out the presentation. Well played, Ross Simmonds.
What I like: Rather than employing the same old stock photos, this unique design serves as a refreshing way to present information that's both valuable and fun.
20. “Be A Great Product Leader,” Adam Nash
This presentation by Adam Nash immediately draws attention by putting the company's logo first — a great move if your company is well known.
What I like: He uses popular images, such as ones of Megatron and Pinocchio, to drive his points home. In the same way, you can take advantage of popular images and media to keep your audience engaged.

5 Tips for Creating a Modern PowerPoint Presentation
If you’re new to designing PowerPoint presentations, these tips will help you create a more professional looking slideshow to win your audience.
1. Use Minimal and Professional Slide Designs
Let’s face it, all of the default templates included in PowerPoint are terrible and have outdated designs. They’ll never help make your presentation stand out from the crowd.
So start your process by finding a better and professionally designed PowerPoint template to make your slideshow look more creative and original. You’d be surprised to see the amazing designs on some of the templates you can download from third-party websites. They’ll make your old presentations look like something from the 1980s.
2. Find and Use Better Custom Fonts
Fonts take a major role in presentation slideshows as they help attract attention to each of your slides. Consider using custom fonts in your presentations.
With the right combination of a big bold title font and a body font with an easy to read design, you can create presentations to deliver a great user experience that shows off professionalism.
3. Write Shorter Sentences
In most cases, a PowerPoint presentation should focus on highlighting the key points of a speech and to visualize data. And you should keep it that way and avoid making your presentation look like a novel filled with long paragraphs.
You can achieve this goal by creating a content layout for including shorter sentences and paragraphs. Use bullet points and icons as well.
4. Add Shapes, Images, Charts, and Graphs
Modern PowerPoint presentations are usually very visually appealing and it’s beautiful to look at. You can make similar presentations by including lots of shapes and large images to make each slide look more creative.
You can also use charts and infographics to visualize data from studies, show projections, summarize reports, and even make strong statements.
5. Use a Modern Color Palette
While using minimal designs is always a great approach to designing professional PowerPoint slideshows, many modern presentations feature colorful designs as well.
Create a color palette that matches your brand and your industry. Use it to add a stylish look to each of the slides in your presentations while maintaining a persistent design.

A PowerPoint slide deck is a collection of slides that are created using an online presentation maker. These slides are used to create presentations for various purposes, like sales , marketing , research , case studies , webinars , onboarding and business in general.
PPT presentation slides typically consist of a series of slides that contain text, images, charts, graphs, and other multimedia elements that are used to communicate information to the audience in an engaging and visually appealing manner.
So why is it called a slide deck? In the early days, presenters would create slides by photographing images or text onto transparent film. These slides would then be loaded into a slide projector and displayed on a screen. The collection of slides was referred to as a "deck," and the presenter would advance through them one by one. Today, the term "slide deck" is still used to refer to a collection of slides or presentation materials, even though most presentations are now created and displayed digitally.

7. Question & Answer Slide: Allows interaction and clarification, ensuring the audience fully grasps the presented materials.
8. Contact Information Slide: Provides follow-up information for further questions or networking.
Q. What are the 3 main types of presentation slides?
While there's no one-size-fits-all rule for making presentation slides, you can group them into three main categories:
Introduction and Closing Slides
These slides bookend your presentation. The introduction slide typically includes the title of your presentation, your name and any relevant introductory information. The closing slide summarizes key points, provides a conclusion and often includes contact information or a call to action.
Content Slides
Content slides make up the core of your presentation and contain the primary information you want to convey to your audience. They can include text, images, charts, graphs and other visual or textual elements supporting your presentation's message.
Transition Slides
Transition slides signal a change in topic or create a smooth flow between different sections of your presentation. They often feature a brief title or heading that previews the upcoming content. Transition slides help guide your audience through the presentation and make it easy to follow.
Q. What are the 4 types of presentation?
The four types of presentations are informative, instructional, persuasive and arousing.
1. Informative Presentations: These are used to educate the audience on a particular topic. They present facts, data and information to increase the audience's knowledge and understanding.
2. Instructional Presentations: These presentations provide step-by-step guidance or training on a specific task, process or concept. You can use this type of presentation for teaching or coaching purposes, emphasizing learning and development.
3. Persuasive Presentations: The primary goal of these presentations is to influence the listeners' attitudes, beliefs or behaviors. Use this presentation type when you want your audience to accept certain arguments or propositions.
4. Arousing Presentations: These presentations aim to evoke interest and awaken curiosity about the topic among the audience. They often aim to inspire, motivate or raise awareness about an issue.
Q. How do you make a 5-minute presentation interesting?
Creating an intriguing 5-minute presentation may be challenging due to the time constraint. Yet, you can deliver an impactful and engaging presentation with a focused approach and attention to detail.
Here are some of the ways to do it:
1. Focus on a single core message : Since you have limited time, choose a specific topic and stick to it. Present only the crucial information that will help the audience understand your point.
2. Engage from the start: Start your presentation with a compelling story, anecdote or a surprising fact. This will grab the audience's attention and spark curiosity.
3. Keep slides simple and visual: Avoid cluttered slides with too much text. Use visuals such as images, graphs or infographics to illustrate your points clearly and concisely.
4. Tell a story: A narrative structure engages the audience and helps them follow your message. Consider using metaphors or anecdotes to explain complex ideas.
5. Encourage questions or interaction: Since time is limited, you might opt for a brief Q&A session, ask a rhetorical question or request audience feedback for further discussion later.
6. Finish strong: Conclude with a powerful statement, call-to-action or takeaway summarizing your main point. Leave your audience with a lasting impression of your message.
Q. How many slides should a 20 minute presentation be?
The number of slides you should have for a 20-minute presentation can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the topic and the pace of your speech.
However, the general rule of thumb is to allocate at least 1-2 minutes per slide, which suggests 10-20 slides for a 20-minute presentation.
Q. What Is the 5 5 5 Rule for Presentation?
The 5 5 5 rule is a framework that ensures your presentation is clear and remains engaging. A presentation should have no more than five words per line of text, five lines of text per slide and five slides that apply the first two rules in a row.

Q. What Is the 10 Rule for Slides?
The 10 rule for slides is part of Guy Kawasaki’s 10/20/30 rule which emphasizes that no presentation should have more than 10 slides, last longer than 20 minutes, and contain fonts smaller than thirty points.

Say goodbye to typical, boring PowerPoint slides, too. Instead, create a presentation that will make a lasting impression with presentation templates like this one to engage your audience. You can also use them for inspiration for PowerPoint layout ideas:

In this post, I’ll show you how to create a presentation that will not only grab the attention of your audience but hold onto it as well.
This post will offer tips for creating different types of presentations , including:
- Pitch decks

- Class presentations
- Webinar presentations
- Marketing presentations
I’ll also give you design tips to customize our presentation templates and share ppt design ideas.

- Start with presentation templates

- Dedicate each slide to only one topic
- Don’t overburden your slides with text

Design a presentation that engages your audience
Think about the last boring presentation you sat through:
- What did the slides look like?
- Did they have a bland color scheme?
- Were there too many points (or worse, paragraphs) crammed onto one slide?
- Were the charts and diagrams clunky and hard to understand?
When people see the same old boring PowerPoint layouts and themes, there’s a good chance they’re going to lose focus.
Rich media, like video, matters more than ever and there’s no better way to stand out than by creating creative and engaging visual content . If you want to really capture your audience’s attention, you need to design creative presentations , like this one:
That means incorporating eye-catching images, effective data visualizations, and bold typography into your slide decks.
This onboarding presentation, for example, strategically uses bright icons and illustrations to make the material more engaging. This is especially important when presenting to new hires, who are likely dealing with information overload on their first day.
In this particular case, a more visual approach is not necessarily a matter of aesthetic preference, but a decision that can make your presentations more likely to stick. Pro Tip: Venngage has over 40,000 icons and illustrations you can use to spice up your presentations!
Need something more geared towards speaking? Our keynote presentation templates are all the rage.
Tips to hold your audience’s attention
Many Venngage users have mentioned that they’re always looking for ways to make presentations more engaging. But most of them don’t have any formal design experience.
If you’re in the same boat, don’t worry–this guide is for you. You can also check out this video for all the highlights:
Here are my top tips for designing a presentation with impact:
1. Start with presentation templates
Before jumping into the other tips, let’s set the foundation.
You’ve decided to create something a little more interesting than a standard PowerPoint theme–good on you! But that doesn’t mean you have to start completely from scratch.
Instead, you can give yourself a head start by using creative presentation templates, like this one:
Or this one:
EDIT THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE
While most PowerPoint themes are fairly limited in how much you can customize them, freeform presentation templates will give you the freedom to alter the design as much as you want.
For example, let’s take this template:
I used Venngage’s My Brand Kit tool to efficiently apply our brand color palette to the Uber template in one click:
There are a ton of creative presentation templates. You can take a look at them in our presentations templates library .
Cool? Now let’s talk presentation design.
2. Pick a visual motif to use consistently in your presentation
You can use visuals to pull your presentation design together and make it cohesive. Picking a visual motif will allow you to use consistent visuals throughout your presentation.
A visual motif is a repeated pattern, design, or image. In your presentation design, a motif can take many forms.
When it comes to infographic color selection , one of the simplest approaches is to use a consistent color motif (or color scheme). That could mean using one or two colors for all of your headers, background and borders.
For example, this presentation template uses two shades of purple for a modern design:
But combining different colors and patterns can also make for a more interesting design. For example, this presentation template uses a blue stripe motif to link the slides together visually:
You could also use a recurring shape or image, like the circle image frames in this presentation template:
Or you could use a motif that reflects the theme of your presentation. For this presentation, the template uses a recurring cloud motif throughout the presentation to reflect the “dream” theme of the brand. This presentation example demonstrates the power of maintaining a consistent theme to reinforce brand image.
This is a case where starting with a presentation template can really come in handy, because the template will already have a motif. Look for presentation templates with a motif that fits your topic and brand.
3. Highlight important information using text
Returning to the idea or focal points on your slide: emphasize a key number or phrase when creating a persuasive presentation using big, bold text in a contrasting color.
This will communicate to your audience that if they take away one thing from your slide, it should be that piece of information.
For example, this presentation template uses bright colored font in several sizes larger than the rest of the text to emphasize important numbers on each slide:
But you could also pick one color to emphasize key information with. That way, your audience will catch on to the pattern and look for that color in upcoming slides.
Take a look at how this presentation uses teal to contrast with the other text and emphasize information:
4. Dedicate each slide to only one topic
Just as it’s important for your slides to not be cluttered, it’s also important for your slides to be cohesive.
Keep each slide focused on just one topic. The topic of each slide should be clearly stated in the slide title.
For example, this presentation example, shows a template which covers different ways to be creative. Each individual slide covers one approach:
This simple, straightforward slide pattern will help the audience follow along without any confusion.
Or take this presentation template that introduces some of this year’s biggest business trends. Rather than listing multiple trends on one slide, each trend is fleshed out in its own slide:
As a presenter, keeping your slide topics organized will help you organize your thoughts as well. Each new slide will signal a new topic.
5. Don’t overburden your slides with text
Even if you decide to ignore most of the other tips in this guide, don’t skip over this one. This is presentation design 101.
When you flip to a slide covered wall-to-wall with text, there’s a good chance your audience is going to think:
- I don’t want to read all of that.
- This presenter isn’t well-prepared.
In fact, a study published in Business and Professional Communication Quarterly found that anxious presenters tended to use more text on their slides, usually because they used their slides as speaking notes.
Instead of using a bunch of text, look for ways to present information visually charts and infographics .
For example, this slide template uses brief text and some simple icons to summarize the presentation :
This startup pitch deck makes use of evocative images, icons and big text to help present its ideas:
6. Establish a visual hierarchy on your slides
When you flip to a new slide, your audience will be seeing it for the first time. Their eyes are going to naturally be drawn whatever the focal point on the page is.
The focal point is the most dominant area on your slide–the point that draws the most attention.
You can create a hierarchy of information on your slide by making the most important information the focal point of your slide. In most cases, the focal point will be the slide title, or a particular visual, or an important phrase or number.
There are a few ways you can create a visual hierarchy on your slides.
You can bold important phrases, like the word “Facebook” in this slide:
Icons also help to establish a reading order. They draw your eye from point to point. Placing icons beside headers and important points will make them stand out from the other information on the slide.
Icons can also be used to indicate where a new point begins:
Color selection can also be used to establish a visual hierarchy. Take a look at how the colorful blocks in this slide help to make the slide titles pop:
Your eyes are drawn first to the title text, then to the supporting information beside it.
7. Visualize data using charts and infographics
Replacing text with visuals is one of the best ways to prevent your slide design from becoming cluttered. Charts and infographics present information in an engaging, digestible way.
I won’t go into too much detail here about what types of charts you should use for what data. We’ve got an in-depth guide to picking charts for that.
But I’ll give you a few ideas for some types of charts and infographics that work well in presentations.
Related : How to Make Better Infographics for PowerPoint
If you want to visualize steps in a process, the history of something, or a roadmap, use a timeline.
This slide template uses a simple timeline with complementary icons to emphasize each date:
To compare amounts or sizes, a bubble chart can help drive the point home:
Learn how to customize this template:
To create an infographic for geographic and demographic information , a map can make a big impact on your audience:
A classic pie chart or bar graph should be easily understood by your audience, provided you’re following chart best practices .
This presentation template uses a bar graph, a pie chart and a line graph to show different metrics:
If you can, mix up the types of data visualizations you use. This will help prevent your audience from getting bored.
Those are just a few different ways you can use charts to visualize. For more ideas, check out our guide to picking the best charts for your data .
8. Create custom illustrations using icons
Custom illustrations are one of this year’s biggest graphic design trends . They’re fun, quirky, and more exciting than a boring old stock photo.
Creating your own illustrations for social media graphics might seem like a costly and time-consuming undertaking. And it can be. But I’m going to offer you a hack:
Use icons to create illustrations.
You can arrange icons together to create a scene–like the pieces of a puzzle. (Venngage offers over 40,000 icons, so finding an image shouldn’t be too hard!)
For example, this real estate presentation template uses icons to illustrate each real estate hack:
When picking ico ns or symbols for your illustrations , make sure that the icon style you use is consistent. For example, this presentation template uses line art icons for a scribbly youthful look:
For more ideas, read our guide to creating icon illustrations .
9. Change slide layouts to keep your audience engaged
You may be tempted to use the same slide layout throughout your entire presentation–either for consistency or because you’re not sure how else to design your slide.
The problem is, using the same slide layout over and over again won’t do much to excite your audience.
There are other ways you can create consistency throughout your presentation, while also using different slide layouts–like through a visual motif.
For example, this presentation template uses five different slide layouts. The consistent color scheme, image style and font style pull the presentation together.
To come up with different slide layouts, try dividing your slide into columns. This can make it easier to arrange the elements in your slide.
This can make it easier to arrange the elements in your slide.
10. Add a progress tracker to your presentation slides
Creating a sense of forward movement will help keep your audience engaged.
Similar to how you would put the chapter title at the top of the pages in a book, you can track the progress of your presentations in your slides. This will let your audience know what stage you’re at in your presentation. Your audience will also be able to refer to the sections in your presentation more easily afterward.
That said, pacing your presentation thoughtfully with well-designed presentation slides also adds brownie points to your presentation. Check out the top qualities of awesome presentations and learn all about how to make a good presentation to help you nail that captivating delivery.
A simple progress bar at the bottom of your slide shouldn’t distract too much from the rest of your information.
11. Download your presentation as a PDF
It’s common for audience members to request a copy of your presentation for their reference. Make sharing your presentation easy by exporting it as a PDF or zipped file.
Now that you’re equipped with some fundamentals of presentation design, the best way to learn is by doing. It’s also the perfect time to upgrade your presentation skills while you’re thinking about it too!

30 Tips: How to Make Good PowerPoint Presentation Designs Fast in 2024
A few tried and true tips can help you speed up your PowerPoint presentation design. Check out 30 of my favorite PowerPoint tips to do just that. Each of these give you PowerPoint slideshow help to create good PowerPoint slides:
1. How Do You Give a Memorable PPT Presentation?
If you're learning the top PowerPoint presentation tips and tricks, you're probably asking yourself: how do I give a presentation that won't be forgotten?
We all want to be remembered. The best PowerPoint slideshow help to make a mark on the audience. There are tried-and-true ways to do just that, and expert Neil Tomlinson shares expertise on being remembered:
Get your main point into the presentation as early as possible (this avoids any risk of audience fatigue or attention span waning), then substantiate your point with facts, figures etc and then reiterate your point at the end in a ‘Summary’.
2. Practice Makes Perfect
Also, don’t forget to practice your presentation. Go through your slide deck a few times to make sure you know it like the back of your hand when the big day arrives. Doing so helps you feel more confident. It'll reduce any anxiety and nervousness you might feel as the presentation day approaches.
What's the best way to rehears for a good PowerPoint? Here's one of the top PowerPoint presentation tips from expert presenter Sandra Zimmer :
Once slides are ready, practice one slide at a time aloud until you feel like you know it and like the flow of speech. Be willing to change anything that does not feel in flow. At the end of learning all your slides, practice the whole talk.

3. Adapt Your Presentation to the Audience
Let's say that you're a seasoned presenter with a pretty standard set of presentation topics. Maybe you're an expert in your field, and you're asked to give a PPT presentation frequently on similar topics.
That's the value of being an expert. You might have a standard spiel that you give your audiences, and your content won't totally change from one presentation to another. That's why it helps to make only slight tweaks to adapt your presentation to each audience.
Leading presentation expert Suzannah Baum offered up this advice:
Different audiences will have different needs and different challenges, which requires me to re-sequence the slides, or create new ones. I tend to do a lot of research on my audiences – via surveys, interviews, and conversations with the hiring manager – to help me better understand what information would be most relevant to them.
How do you adapt to your audience? Here are a few more tips:
- Learn about them. If you're asked to speak, talk to the curator of the presentation to learn more about the audience and their background.
- Ask about them! With contact details, send out a survey or a response link to ask for feedback and preparation info. Ask leading questions like "what do you want to learn?"
- Consider the environment. If you're presenting via Zoom, your style will differ from presenting in person. The key is to acknowledge the difference and adapt to your environment.
Learn everything you can about your audience. Learning how to make a presentable PowerPoint is all about thinking of the recipient, not the presenter!
4. Use a Custom Font
A PowerPoint presentation tip that'll make your slideshow more interesting and more engaging is to use a custom font.
Fonts set the tone for your presentation. So, when you use a premium font, you’re opting for a high-quality font while also adding a personal or creative touch.
When choosing a font, remember that you want everyone to read your text easily.
5. Use Contrast
One PowerPoint trick is to use contrast to make some of your text stand out or make it easier to read.
If you’re putting text over an image on our PowerPoint slide, you may need to use a white box with black text in it to make your text easier to read. You can also use contrasting colors to highlight important text.
6. Avoid Too Many Animations
Another PowerPoint tip is to avoid having too many animations or transitions.
When you've got too many animations, it can be distracting to the audience. It’s not only distracting, but it's unprofessional.
It’s best to stick to one or two animations throughout your presentation. Also, if you've got any animations in your presentation, make sure to test them to see if they work before presenting.
7. Add Audio
Include audio on a slide on PowerPoint to increase audience engagement. Audio can be anything from fun sound effects to interview clips. You can even add an audio clip of your voice.
Audio gives you a break from speaking while also engaging the audience. Envato Elements has hundreds of premium audio clips if you want to add some.
8. Use the Rule of Three
One PowerPoint tip and trick is to follow the rules of PowerPoint.
One of those rules is the rule of three. It's where you start by dividing your presentation into thirds. Everything should come in thirds, so if you use bullet points, you should only have three. If you use icons, you should only have three.
When things come in threes, it's easier to remember them. For more information, read this informative article:
9. Use a Custom PPT Theme Design
Above all, consistently use custom PowerPoint themes. Microsoft has built-in themes that you can use for free, sure. But the premium themes that are on Envato Elements are a major step-up from PowerPoint's built-in themes.
When you subscribe to Envato Elements, you'll have access to unlimited downloads of all the PowerPoint themes. Right now, Envato Elements has almost 4,000 PowerPoint themes and that number is always growing. You'll learn tips for a good PowerPoint presentation by using the best templates.
10. Make Use of Charts and Graphs
Illustrate your data with the use of charts and graphs. Not only will you be able to make your presentation more visually appealing, but you'll also help your audience remember the information better.
Many PowerPoint templates already include chart and graph elements. Easily customize them to make your data and stats more interesting and easier to understand.
Want to learn more about how to use data? Turn to expert Adrienne J ohnston , a presentation professional:
When it comes to visualizing data in presentations, we have to remember that our audience does not need all the fine details of the data - they need the main takeaway and we need to make sure that's evident to them when looking at the slide.
11. Use the Built-in Slide Layouts
Inside of PowerPoint themes, you'll find layouts , which are custom slide designs.
Most themes include a selection of content layouts that you can use as a starting point for your own slide designs. You can leverage slide master PowerPoint 2024 designs with the help of layouts.
Layouts are like a starting point for your PowerPoint presentation slides. They contain combinations of placeholders for text boxes, images, and more.
Instead of clicking and drawing individual objects onto the slide, use one of these layouts to start your slide off. It's one of the top PowerPoint presentation tips and tricks to save time.
12. Align Text Consistently
When you're working with text on your slide, it helps to ensure that it aligns consistently. Keeping your text aligned in the same orientation really makes a slide look clean.
In the example below, I've basically got three text boxes:
- list of bulleted points
Notice that all this text is aligned left.
Aligning text was the " aha " moment that I learned when I started studying slide design. It's one of those steps that makes a slide look much neater and professional, so keep it in mind when designing.
13. Make Your Exports User-Friendly
No matter how great your PowerPoint presentation slides look, you need to think about how your user will use the presentation file.
Any of these are likely scenarios if you're regularly sending presentations to other users:
- The viewer may not have PowerPoint installed on their computer.
- The recipient may be using a version of PowerPoint that renders the presentation differently.
- Maybe you don't want the user to be able to make any edits or see your notes in the presentation file.
In this case, my favorite tip is to export the presentation as a PDF. To do that, go to File > Export > Create PDF , and then save your presentation as a PDF.
This is sure to help most of your users see the presentation just the way you intended.
14. Try a Different Color Scheme
Many PowerPoint themes have more than one color scheme that you can apply to your presentation. On the Design tab, click on the drop-down next to Themes to try out a different color scheme.
Typically, these will restyle your entire presentation. Premium themes that you might get from Envato Elements, for example, may have many versions inside the original presentation zip file.
15. Edit Slide Masters for Consistency
The slide master controls the design for your PowerPoint slide. Instead of making the same change to each slide, apply a change to a slide master. It'll affect all the PowerPoint presentation slides that use the same master.
It's ideal to apply a logo to the slide master itself, for example. This keeps the logo the same size and in the same position on each slide.
To do that, go to View > Slide Master. On the right side, you're likely to see a variety of slide masters that control designs for many slides. Drop the elements that you want to remain consistent onto one of the slide masters.
16. Use the Alignment Feature
PowerPoint presentation slides look better when the objects on them are in line with one another. There's a certain visual rhythm that occurs when objects line up in the center or along certain boundary lines.
When you start dragging objects on your slide, you'll see guiding lines that pop up. These are very intuitive, and you'll likely notice that they help you line up your objects. You might seem them pop up when you've got a box that's equidistant between two other objects on the slide, for example.
This is one of the best tricks for improving the look of your PowerPoint slide. Spend some time making sure that your key elements line up cohesively.
17. Use Stock Assets
Earlier, I mentioned using Envato Elements to grab PowerPoint themes. But there's more that comes with an Envato Elements subscription for presentations.
That includes a wide variety of stock photos, graphics, and custom designed fonts that you can use in your presentation. Instead of reusing the same stock photo or clip art, Envato Elements has everything you need to supplement a presentation.
Again, Envato Elements is the perfect subscription if you build presentations. It's a one-stop-shop that you can use to fill content.
18. Reduce Your Content
There's nothing that makes an audience tune out faster than being overloaded with slide content. Sometimes we try to make so many points that the audience misses all of them due to information overload.
Less is truly more. When you cut the weaker points of your presentation, the audience's attention will follow your key points accordingly.
It seems like cheating, but one of the best steps that you can take for your slide is to simply reduce the number of items that are on it. Convert some of your typed points to things you'll speak verbally.
19. Rethink Your Slide Order
Sometimes, I find that my presentations are out of order. I might spend too much time explaining my decision before I get to the conclusion.
In these cases, I like to use Slide Sorter View to re-sequence the slides in my presentation. To access this view, go to View > Slide Sorter on PowerPoint's ribbon.
From Slide Sorter view, you've got a top-down view of all the slides in your presentation deck. It sometimes becomes obvious that the slides can be reordered into a better sequence from this view.
20. Use PowerPoint Animations
One of my favorite PowerPoint presentation tips is to complement your major points with a bit of animation. Using animation can bring a key point onto your slide with style!
Check out ten of the best PowerPoint tips for how to use animation from expert Sven Lenaerts below:
21. Invite Collaborators
Building a presentation often benefits from a second set of eyes. That's why it helps so much to invite a collaborator to work with you side-by-side in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Pushing your presentation up to OneDrive and inviting collaborators is easy. Thanks to the cloud-based approach, more than one user can edit a slide deck in real time. Learn how to do that in the tutorial below:
22. Add Supporting Video Clips
Building impactful presentations is all about adding other perspectives and angles to the content. One of my favorite ways to do that is to add a video clip. Maybe that's a production that you built on your own or found on sites like YouTube.
Either way, learn how to add and auto play a video clip in the quick tip below:
23. Use Infographic Templates
More presentations than ever will feature visuals that tell stories with data. But it's easy for an audience become overwhelmed with data.
That's where infographics come into play. Learn to use them in PowerPoint in the tutorial below:
24. Use Impactful Closing Techniques
I've sat through many presentations in my life. I can only remember a few that really stick out, thanks to techniques that highlighted key points. You need PowerPoint tips and tricks that help leave your audience with an impact.
To do just that, make sure you use some of the techniques highlighted in the article below:
To do that, just drag and drop the thumbnails into the order you want. When you return to Normal view, the PowerPoint presentation slides will be in the resequenced order you set here.
25. Include Data in the Appendix
Many PowerPoint presentations include data in the form of charts and graphs. That means that you'll condense specifics into a few easy-to-follow charts.
But what if your audience wants more of the backing details? Maybe they want to validate and review the detail for themselves. In that case, a set of appendix slides with extra data is sure to help.
Appendix slides are included at the end of a presentation deck for backup purposes. You might not present them, but your audience is certain to appreciate that you included them. That helps your presentation continue to be useful even after you leave the room.
Here's a great tip from: pro presenter Graeme Thomas of Johnny F Designs:
If (my clients) are sending the deck straight to clients however, I would then put all the information on the slides but will often use more slides so that they aren't too cluttered. In cases where there is a lot of content, like financial statements, I would use appendix slides.
Including an appendix helps your audience understand data without overwhelming them with that data. Follow these tips so that you get the best of both worlds.
26. Alternate Between Solid Color and White Slides
Alternating between solid color and slides with a white background can produce an interesting visual effect and engage your audience. You can use the solid-colored slides to signify a new section in your presentation.
Not to mention, solid-colored slides are the perfect way to re-enforce your brand colors and build your brand recognition.
27. Present Information With Maps
If you’re trying to make a case for a global expansion or need to report on how other branches are performing, consider using a map to help your audience visualize the data.
There's no shortage of quality PowerPoint templates with maps built in so be sure to take advantage of them.
28. Keep the Design Best Practices in Mind
The design of your presentation matters just as much as the content of your presentation. That’s why you need to devote an equal amount of time to making sure the design of your presentation is on point as you do to the actual content.
Familiarize yourself with best design practices and keep them in mind as you go about customizing your template.
29. Set a Time Limit
How many slides is the right number for you? Well, it all depends on the time limit you set for your presentation.
Believe it or not, setting a time limit is helpful to create good PowerPoint slides. If you want to learn how to make a presentable PowerPoint, it's a must to lock in the time limit and ensure that your slides support that timeframe.
Expert presenter Stephanie Ottavan offers one of our top tips for a good PowerPoint presentation based on time limits:
A presenter is usually limited to a specific time frame and you want to adhere to that as closely as you can. If you have animations and transitions in your deck, these take added time so make sure to rehearse in “show mode” of PowerPoint or Keynote and time yourself.
Believe it or not, setting a time frame is one of the most important part of creating a PPT presentation. It helps you influence how many good PowerPoint slides you should design.
30. Test Your Content Everywhere
PowerPoint in 2024 could take place anywhere. Maybe you present, online, in-person, or beam it to mobile devices. It's important to remember that the content will appear differently on each device.
PowerPoint Online is a different medium than many other apps. Make sure that your presentation design appears the same by testing it with the help of this tutorial. It shows you how your PPT presentation appears even in a browser:

The Top 20 PowerPoint Alternatives for Creating Better Presentations in 2023: An In-Depth Guide
- riazul-islam
- September 3, 2024
Table of Contents
Microsoft PowerPoint revolutionized presentations when it launched over 30 years ago. Since then, it has become the standard tool for creating and delivering slideshows in business and educational environments.
But over the past decade, several compelling PowerPoint alternatives have emerged to address some of its limitations. These provide more features for engagement, customization, and collaboration to meet modern presentation needs.
In this comprehensive guide, we analyze the top 20 PowerPoint alternative options available in 2023 based on features, use cases, and value.
Trends Driving Adoption of PowerPoint Alternatives
Before we look at specific tools, it‘s helpful to understand what factors are driving increased adoption of alternative presentation platforms over legacy tools like PowerPoint.
The Rise of Remote Work
Over the past five years, remote work has grown by 44% , with the majority of that growth happening after COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. Fully distributed teams have created a need for presentation tools optimized for virtual collaboration.
Platforms like Prezi, Beautiful.ai, Pitch, and Miro offer capabilities like:
- Real-time co-editing
- Built-in team messaging/communication features
- Easy sharing of live presentations via link or direct video streaming
These facilitate collaborative presentation building for dispersed teams.
The Need for More Engagement
Attention spans have shrunk, with studies showing average focus during lectures is just 10-20 minutes . To counter declining attention, many PowerPoint alternatives provide templates, graphics, and tools to add:
- Animated elements
- Embedded multimedia
- Interactive widgets
Tools like Visme, Powtoon, and Genially make presentations more stimulating and engaging for modern viewers.
Higher Visual Standards
The popularity of platforms like Instagram and YouTube highlight the need for visually captivating presentation materials. PowerPoint forces most design customization manually vs more intuitive graphic tools.
Alternatives like Canva, Adobe Spark, and Google Slides offer:
- Attractive presentation templates
- Easy-to-use editing tools
- Large media libraries with images, video, icons and more
Helping anyone create sharable, professionally designed visuals.
Understanding these evolving needs shows why PowerPoint alternatives are gaining broader adoption. Next, let‘s explore the top options available in 2023.

Comparing Open Source vs Paid Presentation Tools
Many compelling free and open-source (FOSS) tools exist as alternatives to PowerPoint. The most popular option is LibreOffice Impress , an open-source presentation app similar in interface to PowerPoint.
The biggest advantage of tools like Impress is cost – they offer a free way for small teams and non-profits to create presentations comparable to expensive commercial suites. But most lack the capabilities offered in paid alternatives like support for:
- Interactive content modules
- Built-in image editing
- Photo/media libraries
- Collaborative editing
- Premium design templates
Some paid tools (Visme, Canva, Google Slides) offer free basic versions. But most reserve advanced functionality for premium subscribers.
When choosing between free vs paid options, consider how critical factors like seamless collaboration, design libraries, premium support, and analytics integration are for long-term success.
For many small businesses and teams, Impress provides enough core features for free. But paying a monthly fee unlocks additional capabilities that can maximize engagement, streamline workflows, and provide helpful metrics.
6 Best Practices for Creating Effective Presentations
Beyond software selection, applying fundamental best practices will improve overall presentation quality and effectiveness. Keep these principles in mind:
- Keep it Simple – Limit slides and avoid clutter. Focus on communicating key ideas clearly and concisely instead.
- Engage with Visuals – Well-designed imagery reinforces points more memorably. Use photos, illustrations, diagrams, and charts liberally.
- Guide Your Audience – Use clear headings, transitions, animations and sequencing to lead viewers through key points.
- Use Consistent Branding – Maintain colors, logo placement, fonts, etc to build association with your brand.
- Make it Accessible – Use enough contrast, readable fonts, alt text for visuals and captions for maximum inclusiveness.
- Tailor Content – Customize examples, data points and terminology appropriately for target viewers.
If the core content hits the mark, even simple tools can deliver highly effective presentations. Optimize information first, embellish visuals second.
Final Thoughts on Choosing a PowerPoint Alternative
The expanded features and capabilities of newer presentation tools clearly provide compelling reasons to explore alternatives to traditional office software.
When evaluating options, carefully consider which excels for your specific use case – whether it‘s animated video, real-time collaboration, template customization, or analytics integration.
Paying for a premium tool unlocks more capabilities. But free or open source options still meet many basic business presentation needs.
Applying fundamental best practices for effective communication, concise content, and good design will ensure high-quality, engaging presentations, regardless of the software used to create them.
With this guide on the leading options available today, any team or professional can find a next-generation presentation platform that aligns to their budget, goals and needs.
