Good public speaking skills alone aren’t enough to deliver a great presentation. Your content also needs to be organized and presented in a way that’s clear and engaging, so your audience stays focused and actually absorbs what you’re saying.
When putting together a presentation, it’s easy to get stuck on which design to use. A design that’s too busy can distract your audience, while one that’s too plain can make the presentation look dull. Creating a presentation design from scratch can be confusing, especially if you don’t have design skills — not to mention when you’re racing against a tight deadline. To help you solve that problem, here’s a list of websites where you can download free PPT templates. All of them are free and easy to download. Just pick the one that fits your needs and taste.
1. Canva
This design platform, also available as an app, offers thousands of free PPT templates. Canva’s templates come in a range of styles, including modern, minimalist, simple, professional, creative, colorful, and more. Besides browsing by style, you can also filter templates by color or by whether they’re free.
To use a Canva PPT template, simply log in to your account, search for “PPT template” in the search bar, and click on the design you like. Once your presentation is ready, you can download it in several formats, including PDF, separate images, or as a presentation file.
2. SlidesGo
SlidesGo is a go-to choice for many people creating presentations. Beyond being free, it offers a wide variety of templates, mostly featuring bright but not overly flashy colors. To help you find the right template, SlidesGo organizes its designs into categories such as education, business, marketing, popular, and more. Unlike Canva, which lets you work directly on its site or app, SlidesGo redirects you to Google Slides or Microsoft PowerPoint to edit your template. Keep in mind that you can only download 10 templates per month if you’re logged in, or 2 templates per month if you’re not.
3. PresentationGO
PresentationGO’s templates are mostly formal in style, making them well-suited for business presentations. Besides PPT templates, this site also offers a solid selection of infographic and diagram templates. One of its strengths is that most designs come with details about the design features used, the fonts, the color palette, and the ideal slide size. To help keep the site running, PresentationGO also welcomes donations via PayPal.
4. Prezi
Prezi splits its features into three categories: business, teaching, and student use. Unlike other sites that only offer static templates, Prezi provides templates with dynamic, eye-catching movement. Its presentations don’t just include slide-transition animations — they can also be zoomed in and moved around in creative ways. As with other sites, you’ll need to create an account and log in to use its templates. Once you’re in, you can pick a template and start working on it directly on the Prezi platform.
5. 24Slides
24Slides offers a variety of business-oriented templates complete with graphic components and charts in different formats. You can also request a custom template built around your own content. Using this service comes at a cost — ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars. Companies that have used 24Slides include Adidas, Amazon, and McDonald’s.
6. SlideModel
SlideModel offers a large library of free-to-use PPT templates. You just need to create an account and log in to access them. One of the advantages of this site is that it provides details on color palettes, supported versions, and explanations of what each template is best suited for.
7. SlidesCarnival
SlidesCarnival offers thousands of templates across a wide range of themes, such as birthday, education, science, playful, and many more. The site also lets you sort templates by popularity, most frequently used, or by color. Beyond ready-to-use templates, SlidesCarnival also publishes articles on design, presentations, color theory, and more — great sources of inspiration when you’re building your own PPT.
8. Powerpointify
Powerpointify offers hundreds of templates that can make your presentation look neat, professional, and colorful all at once. Its templates are suitable for business presentations, pitch decks, and more. All of the free templates are created by talented graphic designers from around the world, so the quality is reliably high.
9. HiSlide
HiSlide offers a very large collection of PPT, Keynote, and Google Slides templates, some of which are available for free. The site regularly follows design trends, so most of its templates are updated every year. Its fonts are also adapted to support not just Latin characters but also Hangul, Kanji, and others.
10. TemplatesWise
TemplatesWise offers a variety of templates in bright color choices. Along with standard PPT features like animations, charts, and shapes, its templates also include a dozen or so background music tracks you can use to make your presentation more engaging.
11. SlidesMania
SlidesMania has proven to be a reliable resource for people looking for PPT templates — which is one reason it was named one of the 2022 Best Digital Tools for Teaching and Learning by AASL. While it does offer business presentation templates, most of its collection is geared toward creative, game-based, and entertainment purposes. Beyond templates, the site also offers video tutorials on presentation topics, such as how to create emojis or how to combine colors effectively.
12. AllPPT
AllPPT offers a range of free, ready-to-use presentation designs. Each design includes 30–50 slides that can be adjusted to fit your needs. To keep up with user demand, the site updates its template collection daily.
13. SlideEgg
SlideEgg offers a very large template library for a wide variety of purposes. Besides downloading new templates, you can also redesign existing ones. Unlike other sites that sort templates by category, SlideEgg lets you search by color. While it’s free to use, SlideEgg also offers a paid subscription service, available on a monthly or yearly basis, that gives you access to any template on the site.
14. Pinterest
Pinterest is well known as a hub for aesthetic inspiration, including PPT templates. If you want to use a template from Pinterest, simply search for it and follow the link in the post. If it’s free, you can use it right away; if it requires payment, you can always look for another option.
15. Free PowerPoint Template Design
This site offers a variety of modern templates, including designs for charts and infographics. To help you find what you need, it provides several categories and keywords for easier searching. Once you find a template you like, simply click on it and start editing it in Microsoft PowerPoint.
We hope this list of free PPT template websites makes it easier for you to put together your next presentation! Besides this article, you can also find more career tips and design insights at Soxvo.com.
