Build and present without paying

Drop in images, shapes, tables and charts, apply a theme, and rehearse with the presenter view (speaker notes, timer and next-slide preview). When you are done, present in English or Arabic, or export the deck to PDF. Everything runs on your PC.

Want a quick taste? On the Xrero Slides page you can type a slide title and bullets and see the slide update live — right in your browser.

Arabic and right-to-left slides

Xrero Slides supports right-to-left layouts and Arabic typography end to end, so bilingual presentations look correct for every audience. Open a client’s .pptx, edit it, and save it back without conversion.

It is 100% free, it runs offline on your own Windows PC, and it treats Arabic and right-to-left as a first language.
