From PDF to Interactive Web Presentation in Seconds

A step-by-step guide to transforming any PDF, URL, Word document, or plain text into a fully interactive, AI-generated web presentation with Slideed.

Any Input, One Box

Slideed is designed around a single idea: one input box handles everything. You don't need to navigate different upload flows or figure out which format is supported. Just drop it in.

Supported Inputs (V1)

Input TypeHow to Use
PDFDrag and drop or click to upload
URLPaste any web page link
Plain TextType or paste your content directly
Word (.doc/.docx)Upload your Word document
Markdown (.md)Upload or paste markdown content

The system auto-detects your input type. No configuration required.

How It Works: 3 Simple Steps

Step 1: Upload Your Content

Visit the Slideed homepage and you'll see a clean, universal input box. Drop a PDF, paste a URL, or type your content. The interface is intentionally simple — a single box, a single action.

There's no account required to start. Upload first, sign in later. This way you can see the magic before committing.

Step 2: AI Generates Your Presentation

Once you submit, AI takes over. It reads your content, understands the structure, and generates a fully interactive web presentation. This isn't a template-based system — every output is built from real HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What you get:

  • Hover effects on every interactive element
  • Scroll-triggered animations as you navigate through sections
  • Click interactions for cards, modals, and navigation
  • Responsive design that works on any screen size

During generation, you'll see an animated loading experience. No progress bars — just a calm, delightful visual while AI does its work.

Step 3: Edit, Publish, Share

Your presentation opens in a split-screen editor:

  • Left side: Live preview of your presentation
  • Right side: Chat editor with suggested prompts

Want to change something? Just type it. "Make the headline more punchy." "Add a section about pricing." "Change the color scheme to darker tones." The AI understands natural language — no UI panels to navigate.

When you're happy, hit Publish. Your presentation goes live at a unique URL like slideed.com/p/abc123. Copy the link, share it anywhere. Done.

What Makes the Output Different

Unlike traditional slide tools, Slideed outputs are real websites. Here's what that means:

  • No proprietary viewer — your audience opens a URL in any browser
  • Full interactivity — hover, scroll, click, resize — all work natively
  • Mobile responsive — every presentation adapts to any screen size
  • Instant loading — no app downloads, no plugins, no friction

Each presentation also includes a subtle "Made with Slideed" badge at the bottom. It's a natural growth loop — your viewers see the tool, try it themselves, and create their own presentations.

After Publishing

Published presentations are living documents. Any edit you make in the chat editor auto-saves and goes live instantly. No need to re-publish.

You can also:

  • Unpublish to take a presentation offline (it returns to draft state)
  • View analytics — view count tracking shows how many people have seen your presentation
  • Access from your dashboard — all your presentations are organized in a clean card grid

The Free Tier

Slideed offers a generous free tier:

  • Up to 4 presentations completely free
  • Full interactivity, full editing, full publishing
  • No watermarks on content (just the subtle badge)
  • View and share existing presentations even after hitting the limit

The free tier lets you experience the full power of the platform. When you need more, Pro plans with unlimited presentations are coming soon.
