A good presentation takes two kinds of work: deciding what each slide says, and making each slide look right. Booq's slides generator does both from the material you already have. Paste your notes, add a report or an earlier presentation, give it web page links, or simply write what the talk is for; it plans the deck, designs it in a theme and draws every slide.
You stay in charge throughout: the outline can be rewritten before a single slide is drawn, every paid step shows its estimate before it runs, and the finished deck downloads as a PDF, a PowerPoint file or images.
What it makes
The result is a complete deck: a title slide, the slides of your talk, an optional agenda and sources slide, and speaker notes. Each slide is an image in your theme, while charts and tables are drawn by Booq itself from the numbers in your outline.
A short form sets the deck up: Content, Goal, Look, Research & mode and Review. After “Create deck”, the deck's own page takes it through Sources, Prepare, Outline, Theme, Slides and Export. Creating the deck is free; the AI steps are paid one by one.
Sources and optional web research
On the Content step you can paste text, choose files from your device or your Booq library, and add links to public web pages. Documents can be PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT or MD, and images PNG, JPEG or WebP. Reading your files is free, and you can also skip this step and write only the goal.
Each image gets a role: content to learn from, your logo, a reference for the theme, or a picture for one slide. A logo is placed on the slides exactly as it is; the image model never redraws it.
Web research is off until you switch it on. Then Booq searches the web for recent facts before the outline is written and lists the results in the Prepare stage, where you can leave any of them out; the slides cite the ones they use. Links and research are read in Prepare, a paid step.
Step by step or automatic
Every new deck starts step by step: it stops before each paid step, shows the estimate and waits for your confirmation. To receive a finished deck instead, choose “Automatic” and set a budget, the most Booq may spend on the whole deck.
Booq then writes and accepts the outline, prepares the theme, draws the slides and exports a PDF and a PowerPoint file. Before each step it checks that the most the step can cost still fits the budget; if it does not, the deck stops rather than going over. A banner offers Pause and Resume, and you can switch modes at any time.
The outline: edit everything before drawing
The outline is the plan of the deck: every slide's layout, headline, text, picture, chart or table, cited sources and speaker notes. Edits are saved as you type and cost nothing.
- Change a layout, for example a list of dates into a timeline, and edit the text, the picture description and the data.
- Lock the slides you like before you regenerate the outline; locked slides are kept word for word.
- Hide, reorder, add, duplicate or delete slides, with undo for every change.
- Ask the AI to rewrite one slide. The rewrite arrives as a suggestion and changes nothing until you apply it.
“Accept outline” unlocks the theme and the slides. If you reopen it with “Edit the outline again”, slides whose text changes are marked out of date.
Themes
The theme gives every slide the same colours, fonts and background. Ready-made themes are free and apply at once, and some are marked “Recommended for Persian and Arabic”. For a look of your own, build the theme from one of your images, or let Booq design an automatic theme for your topic; designing it is a paid step with its own estimate. A new theme marks drawn slides out of date.
Two ways to put text on a slide
With “Drawn by the model”, the image model draws the whole slide, text included, for the most natural look; letters can differ from your outline, so Booq reads the text back and marks any slide where it differs. With “Precise text”, the model paints a design without text and Booq sets your exact words on it.
The default, “Automatic (recommended)”, gives Persian and Arabic decks precise text, because image models often misdraw these scripts; every word is the one you wrote, set right to left. Other languages are drawn by the model, and a slide that fails its text check can be switched to precise text.
In the Slides stage you can accept a slide, regenerate it, change it with a short instruction, or upload your own image. Earlier versions stay in its take history and can be put back for free.
Charts and tables
A slide can carry a bar, column, line, pie or donut chart, a key figure or a table. You type the numbers or paste cells from a spreadsheet, and Booq draws the chart from them itself, so it never shows a figure you did not approve. A badge says whether the numbers were found in your sources, and Persian and Arabic decks can use their own digits or Latin ones.
Exports: PDF, PowerPoint and images
The Export stage builds the files free of charge, as often as you like. Hidden slides are left out.
- PDF: one page per slide, in standard or high quality.
- PowerPoint (PPTX): each slide as its picture, with your speaker notes if you include them.
- Images (ZIP): every slide as a PNG image, with the notes in a text file if you include them.
Editable text is possible only on precise-text slides: with “Editable text in PPTX”, their words become text boxes you can change in PowerPoint. Slides whose text the model drew stay pictures.
How a deck is billed
Creating a deck, reading files, editing the outline, ready-made themes, earlier takes, exports and downloads are free. You pay for the AI steps: preparing the sources, writing the outline, rewriting a slide, designing a theme and drawing each slide. There is no fixed price per slide; each step costs what its work actually costs, plus Booq's service fee.
The Review step estimates the whole deck, and each paid step shows its own estimate before you confirm. That amount is reserved from your wallet and settled to the real cost when the step finishes; a failed step's reservation comes back. How Booq charges explains the settlement, and the pricing page lists every service.
In automatic mode the budget is a hard ceiling for the whole deck. A discount code entered on the deck's page applies to its later paid steps, and the “Costs of this deck” card shows what was reserved, charged and returned.
What the slides generator does not do
- It does not change a deck's language after the deck is created.
- It does not read pages behind a sign-in, or IP addresses.
- It does not add animations or transitions: every slide is a still image.
- It does not vouch for facts: it cites sources and marks figures it could not find, but checking the deck is up to you.
- It does not give back what earlier steps were charged when you delete a deck, so download your files first.

Frequently asked questions
Why do Persian and Arabic decks use precise text?
Image models often misdraw these letters. With precise text the model paints only the design and Booq sets your words in fonts made for these scripts, so they read right and stay editable in PowerPoint.
Can I change a deck after its slides are drawn?
Yes. Choose “Edit the outline again”, change the text and accept it again. The changed slides are marked out of date; redraw them or export them as they are.
What happens if my automatic budget runs out?
The deck stops before a step would pass the budget and says why. Raise the budget and continue, or carry on step by step. Everything made so far stays.
What if a step fails?
You see the reason and can try again, and the reservation returns to your wallet. An image blocked by content moderation is the exception: it was made, so its charge stands.
Can I edit the slides in PowerPoint?
Precise-text slides keep their words as editable text boxes when you export with “Editable text in PPTX”. Slides whose text the model drew are pictures.
