Getting Started with XiSlides

Alpha status (14 October 2026): XiSlides is planned and its public installer is not verified. This page describes the checked DeckCraft foundation; XiKey integration is still in progress. Alpha is free today.

Overview

XiSlides is the XiKey™ presentation project for masters, editable shapes, transitions and presenting, based on DeckCraft. It belongs to the XiOffice bundle with XiWrite, XiSheet and XiSlides. The following guides describe the checked upstream foundation.

Installing via XiLauncher

Installation through XiLauncher is still in progress. No public XiSlides installer or catalog installation workflow is verified. Check the product page for release availability.

First-Launch Welcome Screen

The XiKey splash, About and message dialogs are in progress. The Arabic interface and one-click language switch are in progress. Classic/Modern layouts and Retina scaling are planned. These statuses do not establish a shipped first-launch screen. The checked upstream includes its own view and appearance controls.

Opening, Importing, and Exporting Decks

The checked foundation opens and saves PPTX, exports PDF slides, notes or handouts, and exports PNG/JPEG slide images. Complex PPTX details may change. PDF rasterizes slide artwork while adding selectable text. HTML5 decks, SVG slide export and video export are not established.

Next Steps

  • Tour the Ribbon, Thumbnail Rail, Animation Pane, and Presenter View in Interface & Workspace.
  • Design a civic transit deck with Slide Masters, diagrams, and Morph transitions in Designing an Urban Electric Tramway Proposal Deck.
  • Deliver a multimedia scientific lecture with embedded video, equations, and live laser/pen ink in Preparing & Delivering a Radio-Astronomy Observatory Lecture.
