From a file

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.
