AI Slides Now Use Your Uploaded Images

When a paid user uploads a PDF, PPTX, or DOCX, ChatSlide now extracts every embedded image and feeds them into the AI image pool — so the generated deck uses your own figures, charts, and screenshots instead of generic stock photos. A new banner also back-fills images for projects you uploaded before this change.

Slide Chat Adds Real Chart Pages

Ask the slide assistant for "a pie chart of Q3 revenue" or "a bar chart comparing 2025 vs 2026" and it now inserts an actual chart slide — same engine as the dedicated chart tool. Previously the chat would acknowledge the request and just add a plain text slide.

Turn PDF Figures into Slides (Pro+)

Upload a research PDF and convert each figure into its own slide — caption, source label, and the figure itself, parallelized across pages so even long papers finish quickly. Available on Pro and Ultimate plans.

Read Scripts on the Free Plan

Free users can now read every AI-generated script — not just the first 5 slides. Editing past slide 5 still requires Plus, but the content is no longer hidden behind a paywall, so you can review the whole deck before deciding to upgrade.

Snappier Template Picker

Template cards now respond instantly when you click them — with a press effect and a violet ring while the preview opens. No more wondering whether the click registered.

GPT-5.5 Now Available on Pro and Ultimate

OpenAI's GPT-5.5 (released April 23) is now selectable in the model toggle on the summary and social post pages — for both Pro and Ultimate users. Deeper reasoning and improved instruction-following for top-tier slide generation.

AI Image Generation: Reference Images, PDF → Prompt, GPT Image 1.5 & 2

Three upgrades to the image generator: upload up to 4 reference images to guide the model (GPT Image 1 / 1.5 / 2 combine them into one output), drop a PDF and its text becomes your prompt in one click, and both OpenAI's GPT Image 1.5 and GPT Image 2 are now live.

Improved PPTX Export Quality

PPTX exports now match what you see in the browser, with proper template backgrounds and solid color handling. No more transparent or missing backgrounds in your downloaded presentations.
