htmlslides

htmlslides is a web-based platform for creating, playing, and sharing HTML presentations. Unlike PowerPoint or Google Slides, htmlslides treats presentations as dynamic HTML files that can include animations, interactive elements, and live content. The tool is designed to work with AI-generated decks: you write a prompt, give it to an AI coding agent like Claude Code or Cursor, and the agent generates a complete HTML slide deck. You then upload that file to htmlslides, where it becomes instantly playable in any browser. You can also start from the template marketplace, which offers several free, professionally designed templates that you can customize.

The key difference from traditional slide software is that htmlslides keeps everything in the browser. There's no install, no file downloads for viewers. You send a link, and the recipient opens it in their browser – no attachments, no formatting issues. The player supports autoplay, speaker mode with dual-screen view (current slide and next-slide preview), a laser pointer, and one-click video export. Import is flexible: you can upload a local HTML file, paste a GitHub link, or use any shareable URL that points to HTML content. Each import gets a unique share link and an embed snippet for websites.

htmlslides is most useful for presenters who want to stand out with interactive, visually rich slides that are easy to share. It's especially handy for tech-savvy users comfortable with AI agents or HTML code, but the template marketplace lowers the barrier for non-coders. Use cases include product demos, educational presentations, conference talks, and website embeds. Pro accounts ($19/month) unlock all templates, increase storage to 1GB, and add speaker mode and video export – useful for regular presenters.
