Beautify a deck without changing its content

Restyle

Redesigns hierarchy, spacing and typography while keeping every word, number, chart, citation and the slide order exactly as they were.

Beautify this presentation while preserving the exact wording, numbers,
images, charts, citations, footnotes, slide order, and technical labels.
Improve visual hierarchy, alignment, spacing, typography, color consistency,
figure placement, and information grouping. Do not summarize, rewrite, remove,
or add claims. Use the selected template and keep every source element complete.

Consulting-style strategy review deck from a report

Full deck

Turns a report into a 12-slide strategy review deck with restrained color, clear section pages and evidence-first charts.

Create a 12-slide executive presentation from this report. Use a premium consulting style, clean hierarchy, restrained color, editable text, clear section pages, and evidence-first charts. Preserve key tables and source figures where relevant. The deck should be suitable for a strategy review meeting.

Source-grounded executive deck with outline approval

Full deck

Extracts the argument, data, risks and actions from a document, gets an outline approved, then builds an editable deck.

Create an executive presentation from this source document. First extract the key argument, supporting data, risks, and recommended actions. Then create a slide outline for a senior business audience. After I approve the outline, generate an editable PowerPoint deck with clear hierarchy, strong section pages, and source-faithful charts.

Conference presentation from a research paper

Full deck

Turns a paper into a conference talk that keeps the research question, method, setup, key figures, results and limitations.

Turn this research paper into a conference-style presentation. Preserve the research question, method, experimental setup, key figures, results, limitations, and conclusion. Keep the explanation accurate but presentation-friendly. Use editable slide text and keep figures connected to the source.

Analyst review deck from a financial report

Full deck

Converts a financial report into an investment committee style deck that keeps key tables, ratios, risks and management commentary.

Convert this financial report into an editable PowerPoint deck for an analyst review. Preserve key tables, charts, ratios, risk factors, and management commentary. Do not invent numbers. Use a clear investment committee style with concise headlines and source-grounded evidence.

Executive polish pass on an existing deck

Restyle

Refines hierarchy, cuts text density, smooths section transitions and sharpens titles while keeping source-backed numbers intact.

Improve this deck for a professional presentation. Keep the content accurate, but refine the visual hierarchy, reduce text density, improve section transitions, and make the slide titles more executive. Preserve all source-backed numbers and make sure the exported PPTX remains editable.

Extract assets from image slides for an editable PPTX

Workflow step

Cuts every shape, icon, chart and image on a slide into a clean transparent PNG at its original size and position, without layout text.

Split all PPT page elements into transparent independent assets.

Scope:
Process all generated PPT pages, including every adapted slide page.
Extract all visual elements, including shapes, color blocks, icons, charts, layout frames, images, and decorative graphics.

Splitting rules:
Export each element as a separate PNG image.
Strictly preserve the original aspect ratio and original relative position of every element.
Do not arbitrarily enlarge, shrink, stretch, or distort any element.

Image quality and cropping:
All exported assets must be high-resolution and lossless.
Crop each PNG precisely according to the actual visible size of the element.
Small elements must be exported at their native size.
Do not force small elements to fill a full-slide canvas with large empty margins.

Cutout quality:
Every PNG must have a clean transparent background.
No ghosting, double images, jagged edges, dirty borders, background residue, color contamination, or extra pixels.
Edges must be clean enough so that later text overlays do not create shadowing, visual noise, or messy stacking.

Text preservation rules:
If an image itself contains original embedded text, preserve that text completely and sharply.
Do not blur, smear, erase, rewrite, or alter text that belongs to the original image.
Remove all other layout text from the slide.
Keep only pure visual elements unless the text is part of an original embedded image.

Image grouping rule:
If a picture is a complete visual object, keep it as one complete asset.
Do not split internal details of a full picture unless explicitly required.

Output:
Export all transparent PNG assets and preserve page-level naming so each asset can be mapped back to its original slide and position.

Rebuild an editable PPTX from extracted assets

Full deck

Places extracted PNG assets back in their original positions and adds real text boxes, producing a .pptx that opens in Office and WPS.

Use all PNG assets extracted in the previous step to rebuild and create a complete editable industry report PPT file.

Layout reconstruction:
Restore every slide according to the original PPT page layout.
Place all PNG assets back into their corresponding positions.
Preserve the full layout framework for every slide, including all adapted pages.
Keep the original proportions, relative positions, spacing, and visual hierarchy.

Text handling:
Add editable text boxes into the restored layout.
All newly added text must be independent editable PowerPoint text.
Do not turn new text into images.
Use editable text boxes for titles, subtitles, section labels, body copy, chart annotations, callouts, and footnotes.

Format output:
Export the final result as a standard .pptx file.
The file must open and remain editable in Microsoft Office and WPS.

Goal:
The final output should be a complete editable industry report PowerPoint source file.
Users should be able to directly modify text, replace data, adjust layout, move elements, and use the deck for formal reporting.

Five-slide design system with one visual language

Full deck

Asks for five fully composed 16:9 slide concepts that share one palette, type hierarchy and grid, favoring structure over ornament.

Act as an elite presentation designer. Using the source material I provided,
design a complete set of slide pages for a [executive review / academic defense /
corporate report].

Output 5 distinct full-page slide concepts, each rendered as a complete, standalone
16:9 page — not 5 text blocks stacked onto a single frame. Across all pages, hold a
single design language: one restrained color palette, a consistent type hierarchy,
and a shared grid.

Prioritize clean layout grids, deliberate color blocking, generous whitespace, and
clearly defined typographic zones (title, body, data, caption). Favor geometric
shapes and structural alignment over decorative ornament.

Render each page as a finished, fully composed slide view at 16:9 — not loose
decorative elements.

Break slide designs into text-free layers

Workflow step

Exports each background panel, container, border and separator as its own transparent PNG at its exact position, with no text baked in.

Take the slide layouts from the previous step and break each one down into its
component layers.

Export every structural element — background panel, shape container, accent border,
line separator, and graphical block — as its own transparent PNG. One element per
layer, each on an isolated alpha channel.

Preserve each element's exact position, scale, and aspect ratio on the 16:9 canvas.
Do not shift, distort, or merge overlapping containers, and do not bake any gradients
into individual layers.

Critically: do NOT burn any text into the pixel layers — text is handled separately
in the next step. Deliver the layers as individual files I can access directly, not
as a single zipped archive.

Reassemble layers into an editable PPTX with live text

Full deck

Puts each layer back at its original coordinates and adds editable text boxes so every element can be selected in PowerPoint.

Using the transparent PNG layers from the previous step, assemble a single editable
presentation file.

Place each layer back onto its exact original coordinate on the 16:9 canvas so the
rebuilt layout matches the original design precisely. Preserve every proportion and
relative position.

On top of the graphical anchors, add real, editable vector text boxes — never flatten
text into the images.

Export the result as a native .pptx file in which every text box, shape, and layer
remains individually selectable and editable in PowerPoint or Keynote.

Rebuild a weak slide layout to a studio standard

Restyle

Tells the model to discard a draft with uneven spacing and unclear hierarchy and rebuild the layout on a tighter grid.

This draft falls short of professional design standards — the spacing is uneven and
the hierarchy is unclear. Discard it and rebuild the entire layout system to the
standard of a senior design studio: tighter grid, deliberate whitespace, and a single
coherent visual language.

Minimalist dark SaaS product demo deck

Full deck

Builds a 10-slide SaaS demo deck on a dark background with one accent color, icons instead of photos and a problem-to-CTA flow.

Design a 10-slide presentation for a SaaS product demo. Use a dark background with light text, accent colors limited to one brand color, and icon-based visual elements rather than photos. Structure: Problem, Solution, Product Demo, Key Features, Integrations, Pricing, Social Proof, Team, Roadmap, CTA.

Brand color roles for primary, secondary and accent

Full deck

Assigns the primary color to headers and callouts, secondary to backgrounds and dividers, and the accent to one key element per slide.

Generate a slide deck using the following brand colors: primary [hex code], secondary [hex code], and accent [hex code]. Apply the primary color to section headers and key callouts, secondary to backgrounds and dividers, and accent sparingly to highlight the single most important element on each slide.

Color scheme for a data-heavy deck

Full deck

Sets a white or light gray base, one accent for highlights, single-hue sequential chart colors and red reserved for risk only.

Create a presentation using a neutral base (white or light gray) with a single strong accent color for data highlights. All charts and graphs should use a sequential color palette from light to dark in the same hue, with red reserved exclusively for negative trends or risk indicators.

Dark theme professional deck

Full deck

Specifies a charcoal background, white body text, teal or blue headers and high-contrast chart colors that stay legible on dark.

Design all slides with a dark charcoal background (#1a1a2e or similar). Use white for primary text, a light teal or blue for headers and data callouts, and muted gray for secondary text. Charts should use high-contrast colors that remain legible against the dark background.

Industry color palettes for presentations

Workflow step

Gives three-color palettes for finance, healthcare, technology and sustainability decks, such as navy, forest green and white for finance.

For financial presentations: use deep navy, forest green, and white. For healthcare: use trust blue, clean white, and soft green. For technology: use electric blue, dark gray, and white. For sustainability: use earth green, warm tan, and off-white.

Revenue trend line chart with insight title

Single slide

Plots four years of quarterly revenue as a shaded line, labels the highest and lowest points, and titles the slide with the insight.

Create a slide showing quarterly revenue for the past four years. Use a line chart for the trend, add a shaded area under the line for visual weight, and annotate the highest and lowest points directly on the chart. Title the slide with the insight, not the description — for example, "Revenue Has Grown 47% Over Four Years" rather than "Quarterly Revenue Trend."

TAM SAM SOM market size slide

Single slide

Shows TAM, SAM and SOM as nested circles or a funnel with dollar sizes, percentages and color that deepens toward SOM.

Design a TAM/SAM/SOM slide using nested circles or a funnel diagram. Label each level with the market size in dollars and the percentage of the total. Use decreasing opacity of the same color from TAM (lightest) to SOM (darkest) to indicate market capture depth.

Before and after metrics comparison slide

Single slide

Puts baseline and post-change metrics side by side with large numbers, direction arrows and a highlighted percentage-change badge.

Generate a slide comparing key metrics before and after implementing [solution]. Use a side-by-side layout with large number callouts for the key figures, directional arrows showing improvement, and percentage change in a highlighted badge. Use green for improvements and neutral gray for baseline.

Executive cover slide layout

Single slide

Places the logo top left, a large bold title centered vertically, a smaller subtitle and presenter details bottom right on brand color.

Design a cover slide for a presentation titled [title] to be presented on [date] by [presenter name] to [audience]. Use the executive visual style with the company logo in the upper left, title in large bold typography centered vertically, subtitle in smaller text, and presenter information in the lower right. Background should be the primary brand color.

Design prompt FAQ

How do I prompt AI to design better slides?

Describe the audience and tone, fix the palette and typography, and limit each slide to one message. Ask for consistent margins and alignment, and name what to avoid, such as decorative stock photos.

Can AI restyle my existing PowerPoint without changing the content?

Yes. Upload the deck and use a restyle prompt that says to keep the text and data unchanged. In Tosea you can pick a template for the new look and export the result to PowerPoint.
