Don’t let presentation problems ruin your day.

PowerPoint files can easily become messy over time. Errors creep in as presentations are worked on by different people or when content is pasted in with hidden baggage.

They can be simple issues like oversized images, through to more subtle errors or inconsistencies such as incorrect fonts or colors. Many problems are difficult to spot just by eye.

If you need to clean up an existing presentation, or combine multiple presentations together, you will most likely be familiar with these issues:

  •  Unwanted fonts
  •  Off-brand colors
  •  Too many slide masters
  •  Large file sizes
  •  Unevenly scaled images
  •  Broken links

If quality assurance is important to you, then don't leave finding problems like these to chance!

Slidewise warns you of potentially embarrassing or damaging errors, provides detailed information where you need it, and dramatically simplifies time-consuming, repetitive tasks.

Early warnings

The automated warning system in Slidewise ensures you are never caught unaware by issues lurking in your presentations.

Slidewise is amazing! It's the best tool for finding size issues in your deck. I use it often to remove pesky fonts that are otherwise impossible to get out without editing XML. It saves me a ton of time for problem solving and reducing file sizes in an intentional way.”

— Steve Sheets | Technical Director, Ghostranch

Replace fonts in PowerPoint using Slidewise
  • See all the fonts used in your presentation, check if they are embedded, or if they have been substituted. Easily replace unwanted fonts and change embedding to reduce file size.

  • Easily combine multiple decks. See where all the layouts are used. Reassign slides in bulk between layouts, delete unused masters and layouts with one click.

  • See every color used anywhere in your presentation, including theme, non-theme and custom colors. Find colors that don’t match your theme and where they are in the deck. Copy RGB or Hex color codes for use in other applications.

  • Quickly identify what is driving up the size of your presentations and fix it. Easily find and replace large images and embedded objects. You can also replace multiple image instances in one go, leaving crop information unchanged.

  • Slidewise warns you if you have embedded Excel workbooks, or linked Excel charts in your presentation that might contain sensitive information. Easily remove all of the data or links with a single click leaving the charts unchanged.

  • See an overview of all transitions used in a presentation, along with all the pertinent details so you can quickly spot errors. Select transitions you want to edit based on type, effect, duration etc. and make changes to them all at once.

Johanna Rehnvall Presentation Designer

“I love, love Slidewise! I use it all the time, every day. As a PowerPoint designer it is such a valuable tool to quickly see what's going on in a deck.”

Johanna Rehnvall
Presentation Designer

“I work as an Instructor in a large company and am frequently sent large Powerpoint decks created and edited by others which are messy with multiple Slide Masters, huge images and missing fonts etc. Slidewise has been a fabulous tool to clean things up quickly and it also has many useful features to fine tune and improve presentations. I'm by no means a Powerpoint expert but I couldn't work without it now. New features and tools are being added with every revision - do please try it and I'll be amazed if you aren't impressed!”

Gareth Brown
Technical Training Manager

“I have been using both programs since their inception. Truly masterpieces. NXPowerLite to slim down bloated files, Slidewise to clean up messy presentations. Both saves me time, space and get rid of red flags.”

  • Simply follow these steps to get started:

    1. Download the Free Trial Software (Windows only)
      No email registration, download Slidewise and install on your PC.

    2. Use all Slidewise’s features free for 30 days
      Get to know PowerPoint content like never before as you find and fix presentation problems with ease.

    3. Switch to free mode
      At the end of the trial you can switch to free mode to keep the essential Slidewise features. Of course if you can’t live without its full power, you’ll need to buy a license!

  • Minimum Windows 8.1.

    Default download is for 64-bit Windows OS. Need Slidewise for 32-bit Windows OS?

    You will need to ensure that .NET version 4.7.2 is already installed on your PC otherwise you cannot install Slidewise.

    Slidewise works with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Office 2016 or later. Slidewise will also work with installed versions of Office 365/Microsoft 365.

    Slidewise cannot be used in the web version of Office 365/Microsoft 365.

    Supported file formats

    Slidewise supports the following XML PowerPoint extensions saved on disk:

    *.pptx; *.pptm; *.ppsx; *.ppsm; *.potx; *.potm; *.ppam

  • Unfortunately, Slidewise is not available natively for Office for Mac.

    If you run Windows on your Mac using Parallels or VMWare Fusion then you should be fine to run Slidewise in your VM.

    To explain why it’s not available as a native Mac application:

    There are a number of different ways that applications can integrate with PowerPoint, each having its own set of strengths and weaknesses. To achieve the rich user interface and powerful features of Slidewise, we had to use technology (COM add-ins) which Microsoft has unfortunately not made available on Mac versions of Office. This situation might change at some point in the future, but sadly at the moment, a Mac version of Slidewise is not feasible.

  • Slidewise is available in the following lanugages:

    • English

    • German

  • Slidewise is licensed per user rather than per machine, so if you buy a licence you can install it on up to 3 machines so long as you are the only user of the software.

  • Volume discounts start at 10 users, so the more licences you buy the less you pay per user. Visit our support site for more information on multi-user licensing.

    If you work at a non-profit then simply email us with your work email address to help us verify your details and we will then send you out a discount code.

  • You can retrieve your Slidewise key at any time with our software key reminder.

“…I used Slidewise twice in the last two days — once to remove a stubborn font and once to quickly find out why a file had ballooned in size and identify the offending image. I love it!”
