Turn your text into a presentation with AI
Paste a report, an essay or a quarterly recap — Folia pulls out what matters, spreads it across slides and builds a deck with charts and artwork.
Your text — in any of 24 templates
How to turn text into slides — three steps
From finished text to a deck in a couple of minutes. You check the outline; the layouts, charts and artwork are on Folia.
Paste your text
Drop a report, an essay or a memo straight into the field — or upload a Word, PDF or Markdown file through “Import”.
Check the outline
Folia asks who the deck is for and what matters most, then shows the outline: a takeaway headline and the bullets for every slide. Reorder or reword anything before it builds.
Get your slides
Every slide gets its own layout: numbers from your text become charts, lists become cards. Edit in the editor and download.
From paragraphs — to slides that make a point
Folia does not move your paragraphs onto the slides: nobody reads a wall of text on a screen. It finds what matters and lays it out the way an editor would before a talk.
Headlines say something
Not “Revenue for the quarter” but “Plan beaten by 18%”: the slide states what follows from your text.Numbers become charts
Figures and shares from your text turn into real charts whose data you can edit in a table right in the editor.Bullets, not paragraphs
Two to four short lines on the slide; what you actually say goes into the speaker notes attached to each one.

All plans and what each pack includesQuestions about text to presentation
Paste the text into the field or upload a file, then press “Make a presentation”. Folia asks a couple of questions — who the deck is for and what to emphasize — shows the slide outline, and builds the deck from it with charts, artwork and speaker notes.
Folia reads up to 24,000 characters, roughly 12 pages. If your text runs longer, keep the chapters you need or drop the appendices: anything past the limit does not reach the deck.
No, and that is the point: nobody reads a wall of text on a slide. Folia pulls out what matters — the slide headline becomes the takeaway, two to four bullets sit under it, numbers move into charts, and what you say out loud goes into the speaker notes. Your terms and figures stay as written, and any slide can be edited afterwards.
Yes: press “Import” in the field and choose “Document”. Folia reads PDF and Word .docx, Markdown and plain text, Excel and CSV spreadsheets, and XMind, FreeMind and OPML mind maps. The old Word .doc format will not open — save the file as .docx first.
No. Folia splits unbroken text into sections by itself. When your text does have headings, it follows them, and the outline comes out closer to your own structure.
A description is enough: a line or two about the topic and the audience. Folia works out the structure and writes the slides — that is how the topic-to-deck generator on the Folia home page works.
As many as you pick: from 3 to 40, and 12 by default. On the free build the first 8 slides come out; the rest unlock with a plan. Long text gets compressed to the essentials, short text gets rounded out with context on the topic.
The first one, yes: after you create an account, one presentation builds for free and no card is needed. A free deck keeps a watermark on the slides — removing it and downloading the file comes with a subscription or a one-time unlock for that deck. After that, builds are paid with tokens, which are shared with every other AI tool on the service.
You can paste text and look through the settings without signing in, but building the deck needs an account — that way it is saved in your history. Sign in with Google or your email.
As PPTX for PowerPoint, as PDF, as PNG images, or straight into Google Slides. Decks built with tokens download at no extra cost; the first free one downloads with a subscription or after a one-time unlock.
Text to presentation: slides from what you already wrote
The text of a talk, a paper or a quarterly report usually exists already — what is missing is the hour it takes to turn it into slides: break it up, find the point of each part, chart the numbers and settle on a look. With AI that work takes a couple of minutes: you paste the text, the model builds the presentation, and you review and edit.
Turn text into a presentation online, free to start
Folia runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install and you can generate a presentation from text on any computer. The first deck is free once you create an account, with no card; the free build covers the first 8 slides. After that, builds are paid with tokens that are shared with every other AI tool on the service.
How the AI turns text into slides
A text-to-presentation AI works best when it behaves like a careful editor. Folia reads the whole text first and asks a couple of questions: who the deck is for and what matters most. Then it writes the outline — a takeaway headline and the bullets for each slide — and you can fix it before anything is built. On the build, each slide gets its own layout: numbers from the text become charts, lists become cards with icons, stages become a timeline, and every slide gets a speaker note.
From a document: Word, PDF and notes
Building from a file is even less work than pasting: upload the document and Folia pulls the text out for you. PDF and Word both work, so do Markdown notes from Notion or Obsidian, Excel spreadsheets and mind maps. Headings tell Folia how to split the material across slides, and tables of numbers tell it which charts to build.
No text yet? Describe it instead
When nothing is written yet, a description is enough — a line or two about the topic and the audience. The AI works out the structure and writes the slides: takeaway headlines, bullets and speaker notes. You get a draft to fill in with your own numbers and examples.
