Step-by-step Guide: Converting Documents to Presentations with SlidesPilot
Step 1 – Log into SlidesPilot

Logging into SlidesPilot is simple. Choose either your Google Account or Apple Account for one-click login (new users will be automatically signed up). This helps you save your work. Alternatively, you can use an email address—we'll send you a verification code that you can enter on our login page to access your account.
Step 2 – Access the AI Presentation Converter

Once you are logged in, you will be in your Workspace. On the left is a sidebar where you can navigate. Both your Home page and the Presentations section offer options to use the Convert to PPT function at the top of the page. Click it to open the converter.
Step 5 – Settings and Instructions

On the right-hand side of the page, you’ll find the Settings and Instructions panel, which allows you to customize how your presentation is generated. These options control the style, level of detail, and overall feel of your slides.
Settings
Length

The length of a presentation is primarily determined by how much time you have to present, alongside the depth and complexity of your content. A well‑balanced presentation aligns its number of slides with the available time and audience expectations.
How to decide the number of slides:
Auto: This mode automatically determines the ideal presentation length based on your content. Since it adapts dynamically with AI, there’s no fixed minimum or maximum number of slides.
Short (~10 slides): Ideal for presentations under 20 minutes. Works best for quick overviews, short meetings, or internal updates.
Long (~20 slides): Suitable when you have more time and need to provide context or detailed explanations, such as proposals, workshops, or training sessions.
Custom (up to 200 slides): Select this option when you need a specific slide count for deliverables, assignments, or client requests. The maximum supported length is 200 slides per presentation, which is among the highest available on the market.
Density

Density controls how detailed the content is on each individual slide — in other words, how much explanation or elaboration is added around the same key point. Increasing density makes the slide text longer or more detailed, but it doesn’t change the total number of slides.
How to decide the right density:
Auto: Helpful if you’re unsure which style fits. The system adapts density to the topic and audience needs.
Minimal: Best for visual storytelling, key points, or if you plan to speak alongside the slides.
Concise: Good for team briefings, internal sharing, or when you want slides to stand on their own without overwhelming the viewer.
Detailed: Ideal for training decks, reports, or when the slides may be read without a presenter.
Tone

Tone defines the overall mood and communication style of your presentation — it shapes how your message sounds and how your audience experiences it. The selected tone influences both the wording and, in some cases, the visual style. For example, a tone designed for a younger audience may generate more playful language and imagery, while a formal tone produces more structured and professional visuals.
If you upload a document that already has a distinct tone or writing style, choosing a new tone setting will override it. However, when all settings are left on Auto, the system will generally preserve your document’s original tone, writing style, and language.
How to choose the right tone:
Auto: The system automatically adjusts the tone based on your content’s context.
Neutral: Ideal for presenting clear, factual, and unbiased information to a general audience.
Formal: Best suited for business proposals, executive briefings, or professional reports.
Friendly: Great for casual presentations, internal team updates, or community communications.
Persuasive: Perfect when you want to inspire action — such as in sales pitches, campaigns, or motivational talks.
Educational: Excellent for instructional or training content where clarity and guidance matter.
Academic: Designed for research‑based or scholarly presentations that require objective reasoning and evidence.
Image Source

Under Image source, select AI images. You’ll see two ways to generate images: basic model and premium model.
Basic Model
A fast, economical choice that quickly delivers functional images. This option uses Flux's foundational model, perfect for drafts, internal presentations, or when you need visuals generated rapidly.
Premium Model
This enhanced option produces superior quality images with richer details and more refined aesthetics. Powered by technology similar to Google's nano banana model, Premium is ideal for client-facing presentations, important pitches, or whenever visual impact matters most.
Include image from your file

Toggle this option on to automatically extract and incorporate images from your uploaded document file. When you upload a document containing diagrams, charts, or pictures, the system will intelligently include these original visuals in your generated slides. This preserves important data visualizations, diagrams, and other essential graphics from your source material, ensuring accuracy and saving you from recreating complex visuals.
Instructions

Under Instructions, you’ll find categories like Popular, Academic, Business, Consultant, and Translation. This is the Prompt library—your shortcut to clear, effective prompt writing. Instead of starting from a blank page, browse curated prompts tailored to common goals and domains, then insert and customize them in seconds. Below are prompt types that serve different needs:
Popular - Essential prompts for everyday needs: summarize content into key points, preserve critical information while reducing length, generate new content from scratch, enhance existing material with improved structure, and import external content into presentation-ready format.
Academic - Specialized prompts for scholarly content: transform research papers into presentations, create thesis defenses, structure literature reviews, and summarize academic content. Includes discipline-specific approaches like IMRaD for scientific papers, argument structures for humanities, PICO for medical studies, and CASP for critical appraisal.
Business - Tailored prompts for diverse business needs: create compelling sales pitches, develop marketing plans, structure work reports, design investor pitch decks, craft business proposals, build case studies, prepare business reviews, draft company-wide updates, organize project kickoffs, and deliver project status reports.
Consultant - Strategic analytical prompts used by professionals: conduct competitive analysis using SWOT, evaluate industries with Porter's Five Forces, assess organizations via McKinsey 7-S, perform benchmarking, plan growth with Ansoff Matrix, evaluate products using BCG Matrix, develop executive recommendations, create strategic roadmaps, prepare steering committee briefings, and analyze environments with PESTLE.
Translation - Multilingual prompts to bridge language barriers: translate content directly, create summarized translations of key points, develop precision translations preserving critical details, and generate new content directly in desired languages.
Getting started is simple—follow the guides below:

Click on any category under Instructions to access our Prompt library—your personal presentation assistant. This collection of carefully crafted instructions tells the AI exactly what type of presentation you need. Rather than staring at a blank input field wondering what to type, you can browse through options that match your specific needs and select a prompt that optimizes your results with minimal effort.

Using the Academic category as an example: after clicking it, the Prompt library opens on the right-hand side, where you can browse prompts tailored to different purposes.

Click the text under the prompt titled Convert research paper to presentation.

A small window opens with the prompt details, letting you preview before deciding. If it meets your needs, click Use Prompt—the prompt will be selected automatically—then close the window.

You’re now back in the Prompt library. Browse the available prompts and click the ➕ icon to add your preferred one. If you didn’t select a prompt in the previous step, you can do so here.

The prompt will be added to the instruction box automatically after your selection. You can switch to a different prompt anytime—just return to the Prompt library before proceeding. Alternatively, you can use your own prompt—just type it in the instruction box.
Step 6 – Generate or Start Over

When your file is uploaded and the settings are in place, you can move forward by clicking Generate Presentation. This will create your slides based on the content and preferences you’ve selected. However, if you decide to change the document or start again with different input, you can select Start Over, which clears your upload and lets you begin fresh.
Step 7 – Pick a Theme

After your document is uploaded and presentation settings are configured, you can choose a theme for your presentation. SlidesPilot has built numerous beautifully designed themes for you to choose from—ranging from minimal and modern to bold and high-contrast—to fit your needs in both corporate and educational settings.
Our themes provide coordinated layouts, typography, and color palettes for your presentation. They're switchable at any time, meaning you can easily change your presentation's appearance even after it's generated.
After picking a theme, click Continue to proceed. Our AI will start working for you at this point, and your presentation should be ready within 1-2 minutes.
