htmlslides generates presentations as HTML rather than as a proprietary deck format. A presentation plays in any browser with nothing installed, shares by link, embeds in a web page and exports to video in one click. Decks can be built by AI, started from the template marketplace, uploaded as local files or imported from a GitHub link, and any HTML using `section class=”slide”` works.
Making the artefact an HTML file rather than a proprietary format is the whole argument, and it is a good one. A deck’s real failure mode is not authoring, it is the moment someone opens it on a machine without the software, or the fonts substitute, or the embed turns into a screenshot. Something a browser renders natively has none of those failure modes, and it version-controls in git like any other text.
The free plan gives 50MB of storage, a couple of official templates and basic upload, play and share. Pro is $9.90 a month on a launch offer, adding 1GB, all official templates, text and speaker-note editing, Speaker Mode with a dual-screen presenter view, and video export. No company is named beyond the product and a support address, 50MB is a real constraint once decks carry images, and the launch price is explicitly a launch price.
