# Add a Slide

Add a single slide to your presentation — the new slide is inserted **right after the slide you currently have selected** (not at the end).

## Ways to fill the slide

* **AI-generated** *(paid plans)* — pick a template and layout (or **AI Decides**), describe what the slide should say, and the AI writes it. If your deck already has a few titled slides, Twistly suggests topic ideas based on them.
* **Attach a file** *(paid plans)* — base the slide on a document: `.pdf`, `.pptx`, `.docx`, `.txt`, or `.html`, up to **5 MB**.
* **Pre-designed samples** *(free)* — ready-made slides such as contacts, team, and thank-you, inserted instantly.
* **Blank layout** *(free)* — an empty slide in the chosen layout, no AI involved.

## Good to know

* AI slide generation requires a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Team); blank and sample slides work on the Free plan.
* With a [custom template](/custom-templates-pro-and-team/using-and-managing-templates.md) (Pro & Team), the AI fills **exactly the layout you chose** — it won't switch to a different one.
* A slide must be selected in PowerPoint for insertion to work.
* The new slide is selected automatically after inserting, so you land right on it.
