More control, truer slides

PowerPoint imports preserve more of the original design, while new chart controls let you fine-tune individual bars and labels. You can also add images through Claude, recreate editable content from an image already on a slide, and keep links clickable when sharing or exporting.

Highlights

  • Truer PowerPoint imports

    Imported slides keep more of their original images, charts and layouts. When attaching a PowerPoint in chat, you can choose its design or your deck’s theme.

  • Precise chart styling

    Highlight a single bar or format the chart text you select without changing every label.

  • Images through Claude

    Ask Claude to put one of your image files on a slide. Riplo AI can also recreate an image already on a slide as editable content.

  • Links that travel

    Open slide links in shared decks, and keep them clickable in PowerPoint and PDF exports.
