Code-native presentations

Presentations that
ship as code.

HyperDeck is a visual editor for HTML decks. Design slides like a drag-and-drop tool, keep a file that's plain web standards underneath — then host it at hyperdeck.online/you/deck, gated by a password. The technical answer to the .pptx file.

The shift

A slide isn't a binary blob.
It's a web page.

PowerPoint saves your work as .pptx — a zipped bundle of XML you can't read, diff, or open without the right app. HyperDeck saves a deck as the thing browsers were built to render. Same content, radically different material.

deck.pptx
Proprietary
  • A zipped archive of opaque XML
  • Needs an app — and the right version
  • Renders differently on every machine
  • Git sees one unmergeable blob
  • Fonts and media break in transit
deck.html
Open standard
  • Plain text you can read and search
  • Opens in any browser, any OS, forever
  • Pixel-identical everywhere it loads
  • Diffs line-by-line in version control
  • One self-contained file — fonts in
The editor

Edit like PowerPoint.
Save like a developer.

Everything you reach for in a slide tool — direct manipulation, alignment, media, themes — over a file that stays clean web standards underneath.

WYSIWYG

Click anything. Change it. It's edited.

Type directly on the slide, drag to reposition with smart guides and snapping, resize from any handle. Multi-select to align and distribute. No XML, no panels of mystery settings — what you see is the file you ship.

Insert anything

Text boxes, images, video files, and 18 vector shapes with adjustable corners — dropped straight onto the canvas, no media manager in the way.

Real typography & themes

Pick from web fonts, retune the whole deck from a handful of plain-language theme variables. Change one value, every slide follows.

Pinned comments

Anchor review notes to any element. Add, resolve, delete.

Preview & Play

Windowed preview, or fullscreen auto-advancing show — like presenter mode, in the browser.

Export clean

One self-contained .html, or PDF and PNG. Editor markers stripped on the way out.

The technical route

Why the web platform wins.

PowerPoint reinvented text, layout, animation, and rendering inside a closed format. HyperDeck uses the engine already in every device — the browser. That single decision is where the efficiency comes from.

01 · AUTHOR
HTML + CSS

A deck is markup and styles. Semantic, legible, hand-fixable when you need to be.

02 · EDIT
HyperDeck editor

The loaded file is the source of truth. We patch it in place and export it clean — no lossy round-trip.

03 · RENDER
The browser

The world's most-tested layout engine draws every slide. No bundled renderer to drift or rot.

04 · SHIP
A URL

Push the file to a path. It's live on every device at once — nothing to attach or download.

Dependencies to install

No app, no runtime, no plugin. If a device has a browser — phone, kiosk, a stranger's laptop — your deck runs.

File that holds everything

Markup, styles, fonts, and media in a single self-contained .html. Nothing to package, nothing to lose in transit.

Years it stays openable

HTML from the 1990s still renders today. Your deck inherits the web's backward compatibility, not a format's release cycle.

Hosting & sharing

Every deck is a link.

Publish a finished deck to a path you choose. No attachment, no “can you re-export as PDF,” no 80MB email. Share the URL — add a password when it's not for everyone.

live deck
hyperdeck.online/alex/q3-board-review
username — your namespace. Every deck you own lives under it.
deck name — you choose it. Readable, memorable, yours to rename.
Optional gate: •••••••• — share the link and the password only with the room.
  • Works on every device

    Phones, tablets, projectors, a browser you've never seen. The slide scales to fit, never reflows.

  • Update in place

    Fix a typo, re-publish. The link is unchanged — everyone who has it now sees the new version.

  • Password when you want it

    Public by default, private on a toggle. No account required for viewers — just the link and the code.

  • Self-host anytime

    It's just an HTML file. Drop it on your own server, an intranet, a USB stick. No lock-in, ever.

How it works

Four steps, no export dance.

STEP 01

Open or start

Drop in any HTML deck, or begin from a blank stage. The file is yours from the first second.

STEP 02

Edit visually

Type, drag, align, theme. Smart guides and shortcuts keep you fast; the markup stays clean.

STEP 03

Publish to a path

Pick a deck name. It goes live at /you/name — password optional.

STEP 04

Share the link

Send one URL. It presents full-screen on whatever device opens it, no app required.

Questions

Good to know.

No. HyperDeck is a visual editor — you click, type, and drag exactly like a slide tool. The HTML underneath is a benefit you get for free, not something you have to touch. But when you do want to drop into the markup, it's right there, readable.
Yes — a .pptx can be converted into a HyperDeck deck, preserving text, images, and slide order. From there it becomes a clean HTML file you can refine and host like any other.
When a deck is gated, visitors at hyperdeck.online/you/deck must enter the code before the slides load. Decks are public by default; turn the gate on for board reviews, client work, or anything not meant for search engines.
Both. The exported file is fully self-contained, so it runs from a laptop with no internet. Hosted decks scale the fixed 16:9 stage to any screen — a phone shows the same layout as a projector, never a reflowed mess.
No. Hosting at hyperdeck.online is a convenience, not a cage. Every deck exports as a standalone HTML file you can put on your own server, an intranet, or hand off on a drive. The format is the open web — there's nothing to be locked into.
Get started

Make a deck that
outlives the app.

Start with a blank stage or bring a deck you already have. Edit it visually, host it at a link, keep the file forever.
