Our verdict
Being tested. An editor is using Prezi hands-on; the verdict and score appear here once they sign it off.
What it does
Prezi presents ideas on one large canvas instead of a stack of slides: it zooms in and out between topics to show how they connect. Its AI can turn your notes or an outline into a first draft of a presentation.
It has been around since 2009 and suits teachers, students and presenters who want something that stands out from standard slides.
Why use it
- It shows how ideas connect, not just one slide after another.
- AI turns an outline or notes into a first draft.
- Prezi Video lets you present beside your content on video calls.
How it works
- Sign up on the Prezi website.
- Paste in your notes or outline, or start from a template.
- Review the draft and arrange your topics on the canvas.
- Rehearse the movement, then present it or share it.
How hard is it to use?
Beginner Easy to start. You need an account, not any technical know-how.
Easy to start from a template or the AI, which is why we rate it Beginner. Planning a good path through the canvas takes practice.
What it costs
Free plan; paid plans. A free Basic plan, on which presentations are public, with some AI use. Paid plans add private presentations, more AI use and other features.
Prices change often, so check Prezi’s own site before you pay.
Watch out for
- Too much zooming can distract an audience, so keep movements simple.
- Presentations made on the free plan are public, so don’t put anything confidential in them.
