Better Than PowerPoint: 3 Online Tools For Creating Gorgeous Presentations
Better Than PowerPoint: 3 Online Tools For Creating Gorgeous Presentations
Microsoft Office’s PowerPoint is the most commonly used application for
this task, but it’s not the only tool which can get the job done. In
fact, some alternatives to PowerPoint might even be better, depending on
which features you desire the most. Did I also mention that these tools
are openly available on the web and entirely free? Plus you aren’t even
required to be connected to the Internet when it’s presentation time!
>>Google Presentation
If you commonly use Google‘s online applications such as Gmail, you’ll
definitely find a lot of use in Google Presentations. A part of the
Google Drive suite of office applications, Google Presentation is meant
to be an online PowerPoint replacement with a Google twist. While it may
not be quite as feature-rich as the latest version of PowerPoint, it
does offer some very nice advantages over PowerPoint. Such advantages
include the ability to access the application (as well as any Google
Presentation files thanks to Google Drive) from anywhere in the world,
on any computer or mobile device, with a simple Internet connection.
Additionally, Google Presentations makes it very easy to embed special
items such as YouTube videos directly into your presentation, so you
won’t ever have to click on a link to awkwardly open a browser ever
again. You can also export your Google Presentation file into a
PowerPoint file, PDF file, and many more. Finally, Google Presentations
maintains the status quo by including all of PowerPoint’s core features,
such as slides, transitions, offline presentation, and more.
>>Prezi
My next choice is called Prezi. This online application completely
abandons the norms set by PowerPoint’s massive presence, and creates an
entirely new form of presentation. With Prezi, you’re given a single
canvas which has infinite width and length. You are then free to put on
it whatever you’d like, from text boxes to pictures to videos. Either
while you’re working on the presentation or after you finish filling the
canvas with your material, you can add something called “frames”.
Frames are what Prezi will focus on during the presentation, and are
the equivalent of a slide in PowerPoint. In other words, Prezi will zoom
in on the canvas to the exact frame that you created. Whenever you
switch frames in Prezi, the application smoothly moves over from one
frame to the other. Therefore, Prezi’s advantages are that it is modern
and visually appealing, with its unique presentation style, color
themes, and more. Prezi is free so long as you keep your presentations
public; otherwise, you’ll have to pay a fee to set it as private.
>>Photosnack
If most of your presentations are simply a bunch of pictures that you
want to show to friends and family, then PhotoSnack is the way to go.
This service makes it extremely easy to create picture slideshows with
just a few clicks. You can add pictures to the presentation from
multiple sources, including your computer, Facebook, Picasa,
Photobucket, flickr, SmugMug, and Instagram. Music may also be added to
your presentation if you would like. You can then choose from different
templates, and share with whomsoever you’d like! The presentations are
shown using HTML5 instead of Flash, so as long as your recipients are
running a modern browser, they should be good to go!
