Learn why forward-thinking professionals are ditching PowerPoint for web-based presentations that are interactive, shareable, and always accessible.
PowerPoint has been the standard for presentations for decades, but in 2025, a new paradigm is emerging: web-based presentations. These aren't just slides on a browser—they're interactive, always-accessible experiences that are transforming how we communicate ideas.
PowerPoint and similar desktop applications have served us well, but they come with significant drawbacks in today's connected world:
Web-based presentations solve these problems elegantly while offering capabilities that traditional software simply can't match.
Instead of attaching a 50MB PowerPoint file to an email, simply share a URL. Your audience can view your presentation instantly on any device with a browser—no software installation required.
Made a mistake or need to update information? With web presentations, you edit once and everyone sees the latest version. No need to resend files or worry about people viewing outdated versions.
Want to know who viewed your presentation? How long they spent on each section? Web presentations can provide these insights, helping you understand engagement and follow up effectively.
Go beyond static slides with:
Your audience might be reviewing your presentation on their phone during their commute. Web presentations are responsive by default, ensuring a great experience on any screen size.
For public-facing presentations, web-based formats are indexable by search engines, potentially driving organic traffic to your content. Your presentation becomes discoverable content, not a forgotten file.
Send prospects a link to your pitch deck that they can review at their convenience. Track who's viewed it and for how long, giving you valuable insights for follow-up.
Create interactive product showcases that prospects can explore at their own pace, with embedded videos, clickable prototypes, and call-to-action buttons.
Share your presentation URL before, during, and after your talk. Attendees can follow along on their devices and reference it later.
Teachers and trainers can create presentation-based learning materials that students can access anytime, from anywhere, on any device.
Display your work in a presentation format that's easy to share with potential clients or employers. No need for them to download anything.

Switching from PowerPoint to web presentations is easier than you might think:
Start with your next presentation. Instead of opening PowerPoint, use a web-based tool. You'll find the creation process is often faster and more intuitive.
Many tools allow you to import PowerPoint files and convert them to web format, giving your existing presentations new life.
Gradually transition by using web presentations for external-facing content first, then expand to internal presentations as your team gets comfortable with the new format.
Web presentations aren't just a trend—they're the logical evolution of how we share ideas in a connected world. They offer:
PowerPoint will always have its place for certain use cases, but for most modern presentation needs, web-based solutions offer a superior experience for both creators and audiences.
