DeckLume vs Copilot in PowerPoint
Copilot in PowerPoint is the natural choice if your organisation runs on Microsoft 365: it drafts decks inside PowerPoint from a prompt or a Word file, with your company's brand on work licences. DeckLume works in any browser without a Microsoft licence, builds the deck from all your material (PDFs, spreadsheets, websites), and gives you both an editable PowerPoint and a single HTML file.

When DeckLume is the better choice
- You don't have, or don't want, a Microsoft licence. DeckLume runs in any browser and has a free plan.
- Your material is more than one Word file: PDFs, spreadsheets, an old deck and your website can all feed one deck.
- Your brand should come from your website, on every plan.
- You need a deck that plays anywhere, as one HTML file, as well as the PowerPoint.
Using both
DeckLume's PowerPoint export is a real, editable .pptx with native charts and tables, so you can draft the story and design in DeckLume and keep polishing in PowerPoint, with Copilot if you have it.
