What HTMLSlides is
HTMLSlides combines a skill for creating HTML presentations with an app for presenting them. The skill can generate decks from prompts or documents, convert PowerPoint files to HTML, and convert HTML from formats such as reveal.js, Marp, Slidev, and Google Slides exports. Presentations are single HTML files with inline CSS and JavaScript, without a build step or dependencies. The skill includes 12 interactive component types, such as charts, timelines, flip cards, code blocks, and image grids, and supports AI agents including Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and Aider. The desktop app offers dual-display presenting, speaker notes, a timer, a laser pointer, thumbnail navigation, and a synchronized audience view; it is designed for screen-sharing on Zoom, Teams, and Meet. The maker says the presenter works offline and keeps presentations and notes locally, without telemetry, analytics, or tracking. The skill and basic app are free. App Pro is listed at $14.99 a month, billed as a one-time payment; the pricing page also shows a $9 launch offer. PDF export and deployment to a live URL via Vercel are listed.
Good
- Creates decks from prompts or documents
- Includes 12 interactive component types
- Converts PowerPoint and several HTML formats
- Presenter supports offline use
- Free skill and basic app
Watch out
- App Pro pricing is presented with differing amounts

Who it suits
HTMLSlides may suit non-designers who want to create web presentations from prompts or documents without working directly with CSS or JavaScript. Its presenter app also suits people presenting HTML slides with speaker notes and a separate audience view.
Verdict
HTMLSlides separates deck creation and conversion from presentation controls, with free options for both. Check the App Pro terms carefully, since the page lists a one-time payment alongside a monthly price and a launch offer.
