Pro Level Info Graphics in Seconds

TLDR

• Napkin AI is a tool that generates high-quality graphics from text that can be used in PowerPoint presentations
• Allows you to highlight text to create individual graphics with customizable styles
• Outputs can be exported as PNG or SVG files with transparent backgrounds
• Pro tip: Add your brand color scheme to make graphics look more professional
• Advantage over PowerPoint’s native tools: Much faster than manual graphic creation
• Can be used for social media, presentations, and general visual communication

Visuals really sell a presentation but they are time consuming and hard to make, can AI do it for you? My verdict yes! and all the best features are free to use.

I've been testing Napkin AI for a few months - it's a powerful tool for creating presentation graphics. While there are many AI presentation tools available, most are novel and lacking the features you need, and I usually default back to PowerPoint. What makes Napkin AI special is its ability to generate high-quality graphics that you can easily import into PowerPoint.

The workflow is simple: start with your text (notes, documents, or AI-generated content), highlight what you want to visualize, and Napkin AI creates professional graphics. You can customize styles and add your brand colors for a polished look. The graphics can be exported as PNG or SVG files with transparent backgrounds for easy PowerPoint integration.

Looking ahead, I predict Microsoft might develop something similar within PowerPoint and Canva will do the same. Ideally, we'd be able to create and edit these AI-generated diagrams directly in PowerPoint, rather than working with static images. For not you have an opportunity to make your communications really stand out ;)
