What you get

The academic arc

Research question, background and literature, method, findings, discussion, limitations and conclusion.

From your paper

Upload the PDF and the talk is built from it, condensed to what fits the time you have.

Results as charts

Findings become charts, tables and key-number slides.

Clean, minimal templates

Clarity is free and keeps the content first; Editorial and Atelier add polish for conferences.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Describe it or upload it

    A sentence is enough. Or add PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, a link, or pasted notes.

  2. Step 2

    Shape the storyline

    Arcdeck drafts the argument as headlines. Reorder, reword or cut them, then pick a template.

  3. Step 3

    Get the slides

    Every slide is written and designed, with charts and speaker notes. Present, share a link, or export.
