This program is so popular that its name has become a household name. When it comes to software for working on presentations, PowerPoint is the first thing that most users come to mind.
It is worth noting that this popularity is quite deserved. PowerPoint offers all the features that can only come in handy for creating stylish interactive presentations. A large number of editing tools, backgrounds, templates and fonts, the ability to work in a team on the Web, insert video, audio, tables and graphics - all this and more is in PowerPoint.
In truth, there are so many functions and settings that this abundance can confuse a novice user. But for authors who create complex professional presentations, PowerPoint fits perfectly.
Apple Keynote is another heavyweight from the world of presentation software that can compete with Microsoft PowerPoint on an equal footing. Keynote contains a rich set for professional design of your ideas: beautiful effects, themes, fonts and versatile tools for editing text. The project allows you to work collectively through the Internet and is compatible with PowerPoint formats.
The main differences between the two products include the cost and the number of supported platforms. For example, Apple Keynote does not have versions for Windows (although it is available through the site) and Android, but is offered free to all owners of iOS devices and Mac.
Service Google Slides has attracted a huge number of users working in teams. It's because the developers made a special emphasis on joint editing of presentations, best working on the online part of the project. You can make edits to the slides together with colleagues in real time. Changes made by each user are recorded in a special log.
However, you can edit and save presentations offline. It's enough to install the extension for the browser. In Google Slides, you'll find most of the basic functions for working on slides that are present in PowerPoint. In addition, Google service works great with PowerPoint formats, it is very easy to learn and is available for free.
Impress is a simplified alternative to PowerPoint and other professional presentation software. This program lacks a nice interface, some design chips and online functions for working in teams. In addition, Impress applications for mobile devices received greatly reduced capabilities.
On the other hand, unlike many competitors, the program is absolutely free, is present on all platforms and is compatible even with older versions of the OS like Windows XP.
Among other programs from the list of Prezi stands apart. The creators of this project abandoned the usual format of the slides. Your presentation looks like one big map on which you can place text, videos, snapshots and other information. During the display, the image does not move from the slide to the slide, but from one section of the map to the other. In this case, the desired areas are increased with the help of beautiful effects.
Prezi can be used for business presentations, but it is best suited for creative presentation of ideas. Even without the designer's skills, you can create a dynamic non-linear presentation that is capable of exciting absolutely any topic. Functions for registration in Prezi abound. There is also the opportunity to work with colleagues online.
