What htmlslides is best for
htmlslides is a publishing and presenting layer for HTML decks, not a slide generator. The site hands you a ready-made prompt that you paste into an AI coding agent you already use — Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or anything else that can author complete HTML — and you shape the brief, outline, and design with that agent. When the deck is finished you upload the .html or .hslides file from your device or import it from GitHub, and htmlslides plays it in the browser with its animation, interaction, and live content intact. From there you can publish a public share link that needs no sign-in, embed the deck in another page, or record the whole thing into a downloadable video. Signed-in accounts get 50MB of storage and two official templates; Pro at $9.90/mo raises storage to 1GB and adds text and speaker-note editing, Speaker Mode with a dual-screen presenter view, and one-click video export. Around twenty official templates are also sold individually for 10 credits each through one-time credit packs starting at $1.
- Sharing is a link rather than a file, so nobody needs the right software or a large download to watch the deck
- The deck stays plain HTML you own and can inspect, instead of a proprietary draft locked inside one editor
- Because a coding agent authors it, animation, interaction, and live data can go far beyond what template-based slide makers allow
- Pro is $9.90/mo and the credit packs are one-time purchases from $1, so the paid path stays cheap for occasional use
- It does not generate slides. Without an AI coding agent of your own — and the habit of directing one — there is no deck to upload
- No Korean interface, and the prompt and product copy are English-only
- The free tier is 50MB of storage and two official templates, which an image-heavy deck can exhaust quickly
- The terms say payments and credits are non-refundable except where law requires, and that credits may expire
- How a deck behaves on a phone depends on the HTML the agent wrote, not on the platform — check your own deck on a small screen before sharing it
