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.

Text that works well here

Term paper or thesis

Chapters become sections and the conclusion becomes the closing slide: a defense deck without an all-nighter in a slide editor.

Report and analysis

The period’s numbers turn into charts and the conclusions into slide headlines for the next leadership meeting.

Lecture notes or a lesson plan

A textbook section or a teacher’s guide becomes a class deck: topic, explanation, examples and questions.

Article or blog post

A published piece becomes the backbone of a conference talk or a webinar.

A written talk

A finished script becomes slides that show the point while you do the talking.

Sales proposal

Product description and terms become a client-ready deck in one consistent look.

What Folia does with your text

A wall of text, rough notes or a document with chapters — the AI works out the structure and builds a deck you can actually present.

Finds the structure

even without headingsFolia splits unbroken text into sections on its own; when headings are there it follows them, so the outline lands closer to yours.

Keeps what matters

2–4 bullets a slideA paragraph becomes a takeaway and a few short lines. Your terms, names and numbers stay as written.

Charts your numbers

from your own textPercentages, totals and trends become charts — not pictures, but charts with editable data behind them.

Draws artwork for the meaning

in the template’s styleThe cover and key slides get illustrations drawn for the content instead of stock photos pulled off a shelf.

Writes speaker notes

on every slideOne to three lines of what to say, based on your text. They show in the editor and travel into PowerPoint.

Reads files

PDF, Word, MarkdownNo need to copy text out of a document: through “Import” Folia reads PDF, Word, Markdown, Excel spreadsheets and mind maps.

Questions 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 5 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.

Turn your own text into slides right now

Paste a report, an essay or a memo and a couple of minutes later you have a deck you can edit and present. The first presentation is free.
