You can import existing PowerPoint presentations or PDF documents directly into AhaSlides. Your slides are converted to static Content slides, and you can then insert interactive polls, quizzes, and word clouds anywhere in the deck.

​
Import Options

When you import a file, AhaSlides presents three options for how to handle your content:

Import + AI

Imports your slides and auto-generates interactive slides (polls, quizzes, word clouds) based on the content of your file. Your final presentation contains both your original static slides and newly generated interactive ones.

Generate Interactive Slides

Analyses your file and creates only interactive slides — your original slides are not imported. Use this to build an interactive layer on top of a deck you’ll present elsewhere.

Import Slides Only

Converts your slides to static Content slides with no interactive additions. All interactivity can be added manually after the import is complete.

​
What Gets Converted

Animations, audio, embedded videos, and hyperlinks in your original file are not preserved after import. Only static content — text, images, and shapes — is converted. Review each slide carefully after import and recreate any important dynamic elements manually.

​
Making Imported Slides Interactive

After import, you can add interactive slides anywhere between your static slides:
  1. Click the + Add Slide button between two slides in the slide panel.
  2. Choose an interactive type — Poll, Quiz, Word Cloud, Q&A, and more.
  3. Configure the slide content and settings.
To save time, use AI to generate interactive slides automatically during import by selecting the Import + AI or Generate Interactive Slides option.
