Presentations written as text

Write your presentation. The design comes with it.

With Folio you write slides with the simplicity of Markdown and get a professional result: layouts, themes, charts and presenter mode, all from text.

How it works

Three steps to your next presentation

  1. Write

    Headings, lists and images like any text. A --- line separates one slide from the next.

  2. Shape the look

    Columns, colors, icons and charts with simple attributes, no CSS required.

  3. Present

    Full screen, notes and a timer in presenter mode, or export to PDF.

Editor

Everything you need to create and present

An editor built for people who would rather write than drag boxes around.

Live preview

Every keystroke updates the slide

Write on one side and see the result on the other. Click any element in the preview to jump straight to its line.

Errors that explain

Typo in a name? Folio suggests the fix

The editor points to the line, underlines the text and explains what to do, as in “Did you mean color?”. The preview keeps working while you fix it.

Presenter mode

Your notes on your screen, the slides on theirs

Current slide, next step, notes and a timer for you. The audience sees only the presentation, in another window that follows every move.

Themes and history

A consistent look, every version kept

One theme per project keeps every presentation on brand. And every version is saved so you can go back whenever you want.

Benefits

Why write instead of drag

Faster

Writing beats aligning boxes. Reorder slides by copying and pasting text.

Always consistent

Colors, fonts and styles come from the theme. No more slides with mismatched sizes and colors.

Reusable

Build components once and use them on any slide, always with the same look.

Safe

No code is executed: your text becomes a validated structure, and only then is it drawn.
