Two ways to use a file

When you upload a PowerPoint file or a landscape PDF (typically an exported deck), Twistly asks what you want:

  • Redesign my presentation — keeps your content, structure, and images and applies a new template. Slides map closely one-to-one to the original, and the result is inserted directly (no review step).

  • Create new from this file — the AI restructures and rewrites the content into a fresh presentation, which you review before inserting.

For other documents (Word, portrait PDFs, text), Twistly extracts the essentials and condenses them into slides — it won't reproduce the document page by page.

Good to know

  • Output language follows your source. There's no language picker in this flow — a German document produces German slides. To change the language, translate the result afterwards with Edit Text with AI.

  • Images from your document are reused where they fit. For PDFs longer than 50 pages, image extraction is less reliable — expect more stock/AI images in the result.

  • Don't leave the review step open too long. Images extracted from your file are held temporarily; if you wait more than ~15 minutes before continuing, slides may fall back to stock or AI images instead.

  • Tables survive. Tables in your source arrive as real, editable PowerPoint tables.

Cost

Free plan: 20 credits (one of your 3 free presentations). Paid plans: unlimited.
