Template updates
We're thrilled to announce a major update to deckd that will significantly improve your workflow and ensure presentations are always on-brand and up-to-date: seamless template updates.
Keeping your presentation templates consistent across your team is now easier than ever. With this update, any changes your design team makes to the master slides in Figma are seamlessly reflected in deckd through a new, intuitive template update flow.
As design changes in Figma are applied retroactively in deckd, this means no more manual adjustments, inconsistencies, or outdated presentations.
This works for all use cases:
- Font changes
- Colour adjustments
- Layout changes
- Adding or removing of slide elements
- Adding or removing of entire slides
Live-collab
Create presentations on your own or collaborate with others. Our multiplayer editing allows co-creation in realtime with up to 100 users.

deckd 1.0
We're happy to introduce deckd. deckd makes it easy to create professional presentations that are always on brand. Simply connect with Figma and streamline your entire presentation process.
With our novel approach we're aiming to streamline the entire presentation process while ensuring 100% design consistency. Simply said: be the glass of ice water for someone stuck in Powerpoint hell. Or Google Slides.
With deckd 1.0 being ready to see the world, we are starting to gradually roll out our limited beta. The aim of our beta program is to generate quality user feedback from individuals and teams that seek design excellence and consistency and struggle with todays existing solutions or workflows. You can sign up here.
As you would expect from a presentation tool, our first version of deckd covers all the essentials from editing to presenting slides. We kept our UX intuitive and distraction-free while offering novel solutions to existing problems.
Sync with Figma
Say Goodbye to manual transfers and design work in presentation tools.
You can simply sync Figma designs as presentation templates with deckd. All you need to do is copy the Figma page URL and paste it into deckd. deckd then imports slide designs and all their properties as a template. Your synced template is being saved and can be used from your whole team for various presentations.
Edit
The first presentation tool with built-in design control.
Yes, you can still create presentations by adding slides from your synced templates as you can do in any other presentation tool. You can also still change slide content by editing copy or swapping visual elements. Alone or in a team with our multiplayer editing capabilities.
What you cannot do is change layouts, font sizes or colours. deckd deliberately locks design elements to ensure your teams stay consistent and on brand. Every slide, Every time.
Comment
Cross-team collaboration can be a lengthy and misleading.
We bridge the gap between design and go-to-market teams with our 2-way sync of comments between Figma and deckd. Comment in deckd, get replies from Figma and vice versa.
Present
Everything you would expect from a present functionality. Just a bit nicer. And with speaker notes that can be rearranged.
Share
Say goodbye to outdated PDFs.
Keep your decks relevant, insightful and always accessible. Publish your decks for external links and share them with the right audiences. Republish changes to keep slides up-to-date.
deckd is a better way to build presentations
The presentation tool for customer-facing teams of strong brands. Sync designs from Figma and streamline your entire presentation workflow while ensuring 100% design consistency.
