Prezi - Free PowerPoint Alternative & Presentation Tool

Presentation is a powerful tool that helps us to communicate. To build a presentation we make use of PowerPoint, which is a part of the Microsoft Office Suite. If you are looking for a free online PowerPoint alternative tool, you may want to check out Prezi. With Prezi you don’t create slides at all; instead you work on a canvas. Prezi captures content in a spatial framework that can actually help to engage your audience really well.



Prezi is a cloud based presentation tool. To begin using the free online tool, go to prezi.com and sign up to start using Prezi. To start with your own presentation, click on New Prezi. Please note that with your free Public license you can view other popular Prezi, and at the same time your Prezi will also be viewable to others.

After you click on New Prezi, choose your favorite template or you can start with a blank Prezi. As shown below you have many templates categorized as Professional,  Inspirational & Photographic to choose from. 


Having selected the Template, now you have the basis canvas ready to roll on. You can work across the whole canvas and make use of your mouse and additional tabs at the right to zoom in and out.

There are three tabs located at the top of the canvas which are your main tools for completing the presentation. You can change the sequence of the frames just by clicking on Edit path. Just drag and drop, and you can change the sequence of your presentation easily.

Prezi automatically saves your presentation from time to time so once you are finished putting the content you can start with your presentation by clicking on the Present tab. 

This video tutorial will help you get started with Prezi.
You can also watch the entire official tutorials at here.

Prezi would always need a broadband internet connection so you have to be connected to use Prezi. However, you can download your Prezi as PDF or portable Prezi, so that you can view them offline anytime and anywhere!

A free account at Prezi would mean that your presentation is viewable to everybody hence so you cannot use any confidential information in your frames.
