Bring Your Own Slides.
AI Matches the Style.
Upload your existing deck, a reference PDF, or even a single screenshot of a slide you love—SlideAI analyzes its visual DNA and generates new slides in the same aesthetic. Your brand, your look, your rules.
Your Deck. Your Brand. AI Inside.
Pure-AI slide generators like Gamma, Beautiful.ai, Tome, and Decktopus are great at blank-page creation—but what happens when you already have a company template, a reference pitch, or a PDF you wish your next deck looked like? Most tools force you back to their own template gallery. SlideAI takes a radically different path: upload what you already love, and the AI makes more of it.
Upload a reference. Get slides that look like they were designed by the same team.
What the AI Actually Extracts
Exact Color Palette
Vision analysis pulls hex-accurate background, surface, text, accent, and secondary colors from your upload—honored directly in the new deck, not approximated.
Typography & Density
Font family hints, title weight, body text density, and even CJK script detection get captured so the rhythm of your slides stays true to the reference.
Layout Patterns
Named layout variants (cover, title+body, image-full, chart, quote) are recognized and reused, so the structure matches your original, not a generic template.
Mood & Decorative Cues
Accent bars, icon density, photographic style, and tonal tags like 'business, muted' or 'editorial, warm' feed into every generated slide.
How Import Mode Works
Upload Anything
Drop a PDF, a screenshot, or up to 5 reference images. Up to 20MB per file, 50MB total—existing pitch decks, annual reports, a competitor deck you admire.
Vision Extraction
SlideAI rasterizes your upload, runs it through a multimodal vision model, and produces a structured Style Spec JSON: palette, typography, layout variants, mood tags, confidence scores.
Prompt Injection
Only specs above a confidence threshold are injected into the generation prompt. Low confidence? We fall back gracefully. Never hallucinated styling.
Brand-Faithful Slides
The LLM generates new content that honors your exact hex codes, layout geometry, and tonal character. Output respects AA contrast standards automatically.
Why Every Other Tool Struggles Here
Gamma, Beautiful.ai, Tome, Presentations.ai, Plus AI, SlidesAI.io—they all treat style as template selection. You pick a theme, they write the content. Brand matching means manually pasting hex codes or uploading a single logo. None of them extract a full visual language from an existing artifact and carry it through to generated slides.
SlideAI's Import Mode is a real vision-to-prompt pipeline. Raster → style spec → injected constraints → generation. It's the feature enterprise teams, consultants, and agencies have been quietly asking every AI slide tool for—and the first one to actually ship it.
Built for Trust, Not Just Flash
Confidence-Gated
Each extracted attribute carries a confidence score. Uncertain parameters are dropped, not guessed. Existing theme constraints always override conflicting AI suggestions.
SHA-Based Caching
Upload the same reference twice and the second run is instant. Style specs are cached by SHA256 hash with a 7-day TTL.
Graceful Fallback
If vision analysis fails or every attribute lands below threshold, SlideAI silently falls back to normal generation. No broken slides, no cryptic errors.
Who This Unlocks
Enterprise Brand Teams
Upload your official deck once. Every future AI-generated slide respects the brand without manual hex-code wrangling.
Consultants & Agencies
Match your client's existing visual language instantly. Turn a 20-slide reference into a 60-slide first draft that feels native to their brand.
Founders & Creators
Got a reference deck from a YC batch or a design you love? Drop it in. The AI won't copy the content—just the look.
