Browsing the template library


A blank canvas isn't always the fastest way to start. The template library exists so you can begin from something already designed and just make it yours.

Templates are a different starting point from Create with AI, and it's worth knowing when to reach for which. A template is a fixed, human-designed deck — the slide order, wording, and interaction types are already set, and you're mostly swapping in your own content and branding. Create with AI, by contrast, generates a first draft shaped around whatever you describe, which is a better fit when your topic is specific enough that no template quite matches it. Many people combine the two: start from a template for the structure, then use the AI panel to reword individual slides.

The library covers a wide range of use cases — team check-ins, classroom activities, corporate training, onboarding, icebreakers, and more — and every template is a real, complete deck rather than a single slide layout, so you can see exactly how a full session flows before you commit to it.

  1. Open the library

    Select All Templates in the sidebar, or Templates inside the editor's right-hand panel if you're already partway through building a deck and want to borrow from one.

  2. Narrow it down

    Browse by use case using the category filters along the top of the gallery, or type a keyword into search if you already know roughly what you're after.

  3. Preview before committing

    Open any template to flip through its full slide set first — you'll see the exact mix of Content, Quiz, and Interaction slides it's built from, not just a thumbnail of the first slide.

  4. Make your own copy

    Using a template duplicates it into your own editable deck — the original stays untouched in the library for the next person, so there's no way to accidentally overwrite the shared version.

Library size scales with your plan

200+ templates on Free, 1,000+ from Basic upward, and the full unlimited catalog on Pro and above.

Built something worth reusing yourself? Any presentation can be turned back into a template for your team from its settings menu — handy for onboarding decks, recurring team check-ins, or a training format you run every quarter.

Frequently asked questions

Does duplicating a template use up any AI credits?

No — copying a template is free and unrelated to your AI credit pool. Credits are only spent when you generate or rewrite content with AI.

Can I edit a template after I've made a copy?

Yes, completely — once duplicated it's an ordinary presentation in your own account, so you can add, remove, or reorder slides, change wording, and apply your own branding.

What happens if my plan's template limit changes because I downgrade?

Decks you've already copied from templates are unaffected — they're your own presentations. A lower plan only limits which templates you can duplicate going forward.
