Upload Your Template

Use your own company or personal PowerPoint design for everything Twistly generates. Available on Pro (1 template) and Team (5 templates) plans.

Where to upload

• From the side menu: open Templates → My Templates and click Add New.

• From the Templates catalog: on the create page, open Templates (or choose Start from Template). In the My Templates section, click Save your first template — or, once you have templates, any Add new tile. There is one Add new tile for each free template slot on your plan. This opens your template list; click Add New there.

What makes a template work well

Twistly turns each distinct slide design in your file into a reusable layout, so the best source file is one slide per layout you actually use: a title slide, an agenda, one or two content layouts, a section divider, a closing slide. A few tips:

• Real text boxes matter. The AI fills your layouts' text boxes and respects their size — layouts with realistically sized text areas produce better slides than decorative ones.

• Variety beats volume. Ten distinct layouts serve better than fifty near-identical ones — near-duplicates are detected and skipped automatically anyway (you can override this).

• A finished presentation works fine as a source; you don't need a formal .potx template.

After choosing a file

Twistly processes the file and shows the detected layouts — see How Templates Are Processed for what happens next and what the statuses mean.

At your plan's template limit, the upload tile in My Templates shows your count (e.g. 1/1) and is disabled, and the catalog shows no Add new tiles — delete a template or upgrade to add another. Team templates are shared across the team.
