Royston G King recommends Google Slides for feedback, Canva for design, PowerPoint for offline work, and Keynote for Mac users. Slidebean, pitch.com, and beautiful.ai offer web-based alternatives with AI features and team sharing.
Software-wise, Google Slides is great for getting feedback because everybody uses it. They can throw in comments. Canva is probably your easiest, most accessible way to get some design done. PowerPoint is a crucial, crucial tool to be familiar with because it's your best offline option. Keynote is really nice. It's great. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, but just compatibility issues. If you're showing up to— if you're trying to collaborate with people, they might not have the same version of Keynote as you, even if they are on a Mac. PowerPoint generally is a universal format that you can upload, export to pretty much any platform. You've got Slidebean and pitch.com and beautiful.ai. They're all essentially just online versions of PowerPoint. There is no— they have maybe some different team sharing kind of functionality, but there are very few things that PowerPoint cannot do.
