Top 6 Online Presentation Tools

1
Its been more than 25 years since the launch of
PowerPoint. And now, PowerPoint isnt the only
available presentation tool for creating digital
slideshows anymore. However you feel about it,
most business people need some way to deliver a
presentation. The good news is that youre no
longer limited to PowerPoint for this purpose. I
believe the biggest reason for this boom in
presentation software is because the browser has
become so much more powerful than before. New web
technologies, free and open source libraries and
more powerful devices have made it possible to
rapidly create advanced web applications that
can do nearly the same as PowerPoint. There are
dozens of online tools that either work with
PowerPoint files or let you start from scratch
to create and deliver presentations that will wow
your audience. And below we will show you 6
popular online presentation tools which are
either free or not free such as Prezi,
SlideRocket, Zoho Show, SlideShare, Google
Presentation and ezTalks Cloud Meeting etc. 1.
Prezi Prezi offers an innovative solution for
creating stunning non-linear presentations by
zooming into your content instead of the
traditional transitional slides. Prezi allows you
to import images, videos and flash files but can
only export in flash format. You access all the
editing functionality via Prezis zooming editor,
which is a tool cluster, rather than a
traditional tool bar.

2. ClearSlide/SlideRocket SlideRocket stopped
accepting new users when it was acquired by
ClearSlide in 2013. My guess is that they will
return with full force in 2014 as the integration
of the two products are complete. SlideRockets
killer feature was their unrivaled focus on
viewer statistics and how to drive sales by
sharing SlideRocket presentations online. This
focus was probably sharpened even more after the
acquisition by ClearSlide, which defines itself
as a Sales Engagement Platform.
3. SlideShare SlideShare has recently gained
attention as one of the best business
presentation sites around. To use it, you import
a source file from PowerPoint, Word, PDF or other
formats (and you can also import video with the
paid pro version). With SlideShare, you can
gussy up your plain PowerPoint with an embedded
YouTube video or audio file to make it a more
media-rich experience for viewers. And once its
done, you can embed or share it widely and share
automatically to your LinkedIn account.
4. Zoho Show Zoho Show is part of the Zoho
family of productivity and collaboration tools,
similar to Google Docs . Zoho also allows you to
create presentations from scratch, using themes
and lay outs, or upload existing ones from your
desktop or the internet. Media handling,
3
however is limited, with only images allowed (you
can embed videos using HTML code). Zoho Show
also allows you to export your slide shows into a
variety of formats, including HTML, PowerPoint
and .pdf.
5. Google Presentations Part of Google Drive,
Google Presentations gives you a tool that mimic
PowerPoint, but it has the advantage of being
online. You can import an existing PowerPoint
presentation for editing, or start from scratch
with Googles own templates. And there are
450 fonts you can use too. You can embed images
and YouTube videos, but unfortunately not sound,
which may limit its utility for some users. Once
your presentation is done, you can publish to
the web, embed or share. The killer feature
multiple people can work on a presentation at
once.
