Design stunning presentations and share them with the world. A free online presentation tool that lets you build slides anywhere, collaborate in real time, and deliver your message with style.
Zoho Show offers a rich canvas for crafting beautiful presentations. Start fast with over 100 professionally designed templates and themes – from pitch decks and sales proposals to educational slides. You can fully customize each slide: add text, images, shapes, charts, and even embed videos or GIFs to bring your content to life. The interface is intuitive and contextual – when you select an element like an image or chart, the toolbar presents relevant editing options (like filters for images or style options for charts) so you’re never overwhelmed by menus.
Team collaboration isn’t just for docs and sheets – Zoho Show enables multiple people to work on the same presentation simultaneously. Colleagues can co-create slides in real time, seeing each other’s additions and edits instantly. This is perfect for marketing or sales teams preparing a deck together. You can leave comments on slides or specific items, making suggestions or asking questions (for instance, “@John Please update this chart with Q2 data”). Team members get notified of mentions, and threads can be resolved once addressed, keeping the feedback loop tidy.
When it’s time to deliver your presentation, Zoho Show truly shines. You can present live from any computer or device – just launch slideshow mode in your browser, and your slides will display full-screen. Need to present to a remote audience? Use Zoho Show’s broadcast feature to send a live, view-only link to attendees anywhere in the world; as you advance your slides, viewers’ browsers update in sync. This eliminates the need for everyone to join a screen-sharing meeting – they can watch in real time via their web browser.
Worried about all those existing PowerPoint files on your drive? Zoho Show offers excellent compatibility with Microsoft PowerPoint and other formats. You can import your .ppt or .pptx files (as well as OpenOffice/LibreOffice .odp files) into Zoho Show with a couple of clicks. The content, layouts, and formatting will be preserved, so you can immediately start editing or presenting them online. Likewise, if you build a presentation in Zoho Show, you have plenty of options to export it when needed – download your slides as a PowerPoint file, PDF document, or even as images or an HTML webpage. This means you can always collaborate with others who may still be using PowerPoint, or keep offline copies for backup. By bridging the gap with traditional formats, Zoho Show ensures you won’t be stuck in a silo – it fits into your existing workflow while giving you the benefits of cloud-based presentations.
Zoho Show isn’t just a static slide editor – it integrates with various tools and content sources to help you create richer presentations. Through built-in add-ons, you can pull live content into your slides: for example, insert a YouTube video to play directly within a slide, or embed a live Twitter feed to showcase social buzz during an event. Need fresh graphics? Zoho Show provides libraries of icons and illustrations (such as the IconFinder and Humaaans add-ons) that you can search and drop into slides without leaving the editor. For data-driven presentations, Zoho Show integrates with Zoho Analytics and Zoho Sprints – you can embed charts or project status cards that update with the latest data, ensuring your deck is always up to date. It also plays nicely with collaboration platforms: there are extensions to use Zoho Show within Microsoft Teams and other platforms, so you can access your slides wherever you work. Essentially, Zoho Show’s integrations let you augment your presentations with real-time information and a wealth of external content, making your slides more engaging and effective.
Zoho Show is part of the Zoho ecosystem, ensuring smooth integration with tools like Zoho CRM (to create dynamic, data-driven presentations), Zoho WorkDrive (for secure cloud storage and sharing), and Zoho Meeting (to present slides during live webinars or virtual meetings). By choosing Zoho Show, UK businesses can modernise their presentation workflows, boost audience engagement, and gain a competitive edge through collaborative, cloud-based slide creation and seamless delivery across platforms.
Zoho Show is a cloud-based presentation software that allows you to create, edit, and share slide decks entirely online. In essence, it’s Zoho’s equivalent to Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides – but it’s free to use and tightly integrated with the Zoho ecosystem. With Zoho Show, you can build presentations from scratch or using pre-made templates, collaborate with team members in real time on those slides, and present or broadcast them to an audience over the web. Because it runs in the browser, there’s no need to install anything, and you can access your presentations from any device. It’s a great tool for businesses, educators, or anyone who needs to convey ideas visually. Plus, since Zoho Show is part of Zoho’s suite, it works well alongside your other tools (like pulling data from Zoho Analytics, or using Zoho Show in a Zoho Meeting for webinars). And importantly, Zoho Show is completely free, making it an attractive alternative for UK businesses looking to reduce software licensing costs without sacrificing functionality.
Yes, Zoho Show is 100% free. You can use it to create as many presentations as you want, with unlimited slides and collaborators, without ever paying a subscription. Zoho doesn’t impose watermarks, time limits, or ads on your presentations. This is a significant advantage over some other platforms. For example, certain PowerPoint online features require a Microsoft 365 subscription – whereas Zoho Show gives you everything from animations to slide sharing at no cost. Zoho’s philosophy is to provide the core presentation tool for free, and they offer it as part of the Zoho Workplace bundle for those who want additional enterprise features or storage (Workplace includes Zoho Mail, Docs, etc.). But if you’re just looking at Zoho Show alone, you won’t need a credit card to sign up or to keep using it. This free model is especially beneficial for startups, nonprofits, or educational institutions in the UK that need robust presentation software on a tight budget.
Absolutely. Zoho Show has strong compatibility with PowerPoint files. You can import existing presentations in formats like .ppt, .pptx (PowerPoint), or .odp (OpenDocument Presentation) into Zoho Show. The import process will keep your original slides’ layout, text, images, and other media intact. Any common animations or transitions should carry over as well. Once your file is in Zoho Show, you can edit it as needed or present it directly. Conversely, if you build a presentation in Zoho Show (or edit one that you imported), you can export or download it as a PowerPoint file to share with others who prefer using PowerPoint offline. Zoho Show also lets you export to PDF for easy viewing or printing, and even to HTML format if you want an interactive web-based presentation. In short, you’re not locked in – Zoho Show makes it easy to move presentations in and out, which is great for working with partners or clients still using other software.
Zoho Show includes features specifically designed for remote presenting. One option is the Broadcast feature: when you choose to broadcast, Zoho Show generates a live viewing link. You can send this link to anyone (attendees, team members, etc.), and when they click it, they’ll see your presentation in their web browser. As you move to the next slide, their view updates automatically in real time. This means you can effectively run a webinar or remote presentation without screen-sharing – it’s bandwidth-efficient and viewers don’t need any plugins. Another method is to use Zoho Show in conjunction with Zoho Meeting or other video conferencing tools. For instance, you could share your screen in a Zoom or Microsoft Teams meeting and run your slides on Zoho Show. Additionally, Zoho Show’s mobile apps (for Android and iOS) let you control your presentation remotely, which is useful if you are physically present in a room but away from your computer (you can walk around while changing slides with your phone, for example). If you have a large display or projector, Zoho Show supports casting to devices like Apple TV or Android TV via its apps – perfect for conference rooms. Between broadcast links and versatile presenting apps, Zoho Show gives you the flexibility to deliver engaging presentations to audiences anywhere, without technical hassle.
Svennis Cloud Solutions is here to ensure you leverage Zoho Show effectively as part of your workflow. For many companies, the challenge isn’t just having a presentation tool, but using it to its full potential and integrating it with branding and processes. We assist clients by creating custom templates and themes in Zoho Show that align with your brand guidelines – so your team can start a new presentation with your company’s logo, colors, and font presets already in place.
