# Create slides

> Ask Marky for a presentation, approve the style on the title slide, and download the deck as PowerPoint or PDF.

Marky can turn a topic, notes, or a document into a finished slide deck. You describe what the deck is about, Marky writes the outline, designs the slides, and shows them in a panel next to the chat, where you can present them or download them.

## Make a deck

<Steps>
  <Step title="Switch to Slides">
    Start a new chat and click **Create slides** under the message box. A **Slides** chip appears in the box, with the options for the deck next to it. To leave Slides mode, hover over the chip and click the **✕**.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/easy-peasyai/YtJl2eljOxzUw89V/images/marky/slides-mode.webp?fit=max&auto=format&n=YtJl2eljOxzUw89V&q=85&s=3ea51f6490fe7b6219cf50dc92262252" alt="The message box in Slides mode with the Slides, Creative, engine, and 4K buttons, and the Choose a template gallery below it with Upload your deck, Startup Pitch, Product Launch, Creative Bold, Corporate Modern, Minimal Elegant, and more" width="1600" height="1385" data-path="images/marky/slides-mode.webp" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a template (optional)">
    Under **Choose a template**, click a style such as **Startup Pitch**, **Annual Report**, or **Tech Dark**. The eye icon on a card opens a preview with **Use this template**. If you don't pick one, Marky designs a look that fits your topic.

    Most templates make Creative slides, and a few make HTML slides. Picking one turns **Creative** on or off to match. To use your own brand look, click **Upload your deck**. See [Use your own deck as a template](#use-your-own-deck-as-a-template).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the deck">
    Say what the deck is about, who it's for, and roughly how many slides you want. For example: "A 4-slide deck introducing Sunrise Yoga, a small yoga studio in Austin: who we are, our classes, pricing, and how to book a first class." You can also attach notes, a report, or a spreadsheet with **+** and ask Marky to build the deck from it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the title slide">
    With **Creative** on, Marky makes the title slide first and asks whether you like the style. Choose **Yes, continue** to make the rest, or **Adjust style first** and say what to change, such as the colors, the mood, or the imagery. This way you only pay for the whole deck once you like the look.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Present or download">
    The finished deck opens in the panel on the right. Click a slide number to look at a slide, **Present** to show the deck full screen, or **Save** > **Save as PPTX** or **Save as PDF** to download it. **Save** works once every slide is finished. To open the panel again later, click **Open** on the deck card in the chat.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Creative and HTML slides

The **Creative** button in the message box decides how the slides are made. It's on by default.

|                     | **Creative** on                                                 | **Creative** off (HTML slides)                                                                                         |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| How slides are made | Each slide is an image, drawn by an AI image model              | Each slide is a web page with real text, shapes, and pictures                                                          |
| Best for            | Pitch decks, keynotes, and anything where the look matters most | Reports, lessons, and decks you want to keep editing                                                                   |
| Title slide first   | Yes, so you can approve the style                               | No, Marky makes the whole deck                                                                                         |
| Editing afterwards  | Ask Marky to change a slide; it redraws it                      | Click **Edit** in the panel and type over the text, ask Marky, or edit in PowerPoint                                   |
| PowerPoint download | Each slide is a picture                                         | Text, shapes, and pictures stay editable                                                                               |
| Credits             | Image & video credits for every slide (see below)               | Words for Marky's work; pictures are free stock photos when a good one exists, otherwise an AI image that uses credits |

A Creative deck can have up to 15 slides.

### Image engine and resolution

With **Creative** on, two more buttons appear:

* **Engine**: the OpenAI logo is **GPT Image 2.5 (OpenAI)**, the default. The Google logo is **Nano Banana 2 (Google)**.
* **4K**: makes each slide in 4K instead of the standard 2K. It's sharper, for printing or very large screens, and costs more.

| Engine                 | 2K                  | 4K                   |
| ---------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------- |
| GPT Image 2.5 (OpenAI) | 3 credits per slide | 11 credits per slide |
| Nano Banana 2 (Google) | 6 credits per slide | 8 credits per slide  |

The title slide is charged when Marky makes it; the other slides are charged when you approve. A 4-slide deck at 2K with GPT Image 2.5 costs 12 credits: 3 for the title slide and 9 for the rest. The deck card in the chat shows only the second part.

## Change a deck

Ask in the same chat. For example:

* "Make slide 3 about our weekend workshops instead."
* "On slide 2, change 'Founded 2018' to 'Founded 2019'."
* "Use a darker background on every slide."

Marky changes only the slides you mention. With **Creative** on, each redrawn slide costs the same as a new one. In HTML decks you can also add a slide in the middle, for example "Add a slide with our teachers after slide 2", and the rest of the deck stays as it is.

## Use your own deck as a template

On a paid plan, you can upload a deck in your brand's style, and Marky makes new slides that look like it.

1. In Slides mode, click **Upload your deck** under **Choose a template**.
2. Drop a PowerPoint (PPTX), a PDF, or images of your slides. Files can be up to 50 MB.
3. Click **Save template**. Marky studies the colors, fonts, and layouts, and adds the template to your gallery.
4. Pick your template, then describe the new deck.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I make slides on the Free plan?">
    Yes. HTML slides (**Creative** off) work on every plan and use words. For a Creative deck, the Free plan makes only the title slide so you can see the style; the full Creative deck and uploading your own templates need a paid plan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The text on a Creative slide has a typo">
    Creative slides are images, so you can't retype them. Ask Marky to fix the slide, for example: "On slide 2, change 'Founded 2018' to 'Founded 2019'." For decks you'll edit a lot, turn **Creative** off and use HTML slides.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I find a deck later?">
    Decks stay in the chat where you made them. Open the chat from the sidebar and click **Open** on the deck card. Download the files if you want to keep a copy: HTML slides live in Marky's workspace, which is cleared some time after you stop using the chat.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if I run out of credits halfway?">
    Marky stops at the last slide your credits cover and tells you. The slides made so far stay in the panel, and you can download them. Buy more credits or wait for your plan to renew, then ask Marky to finish the deck.
