An alternative to Canva.
With your own AI.
Canva is a design tool for everything from posts and posters to presentations, with templates and AI in the browser and the app. Presenter makes the slides with the AI you already have, as one file you keep.
Where the deck lives
Canva
In your Canva account.
Presenter
One HTML file on your own computer, in a folder you choose. You can share it with a link when you want to.
Which AI
Canva
Canva's own AI, inside Canva.
Presenter
Your own AI: Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Cursor or Gemini, with the login or key you already have.
Your design
Canva
Canva's templates and a brand kit.
Presenter
Your own template as design guide: a deck, a PowerPoint or a PDF. The AI writes new slides in that design.
What you get out
Canva
A link, or a download as PDF, PowerPoint and much more.
Presenter
PDF in 16:9, a link that opens in the browser, or the HTML file itself. You present from the app or a browser.
Price
Canva
See Canva's own site.
Presenter
Free while in beta. Your AI is billed by its own provider, as today.
When Canva is the right choice
Choose Canva if the presentation is one of many things you design: posts, posters and video in the same tool.
And Presenter, when you want the deck as your own file, written by the AI you already use, in your own design.
