Why deckd

4 reasons brands are switching

deckd makes it easy to create professional presentations that are always on brand.

Design flexibility

1

Canva offers extensive design options mainly aiming at non-designers. However it lacks the granular control and creative freedom deckd provides by leveraging Figma’s full design capabilities for template designs on a familiar canvas that designers love.

Brand consistency

2

Even though offering brand kits and controls, Canva’s open-ended design features still lead to inconsistencies if multiple people are creating presentations. deckd prevents such issues by locking key design elements in place, preventing any off-brand design elements or inconsistencies from creeping in.

Collaboration

3

Canva and deckd both support real-time collaboration. In addition to that, deckd’s integration with Figma streamlines design feedback and communication, avoiding the multi-channel feedback loops often found in Canva workflows.

Ease of use

4

Canva is an intuitive design platform aimed at non-designers, offering drag-and-drop simplicity but plenty of functionalities. deckd on the other hand integrates with Figma, making it better suited for teams that rely on designers and want to maintain strict control over branding.

What is deckd?

deckd is the ideal presentation app for corporations and organizations that need to maintain the highest standards across all their presentations. deckd is particularly useful for customer-facing teams in sales, marketing and executive management.

Who is deckd for?

deckd is the ideal presentation tool for organisations and professionals that aim for a consistent branding and design approach across all presentations. It's particularly useful for customer-facing teams in sales, marketing, and executive management.

How does the Figma integration work?

deckd imports slide designs and their properties as templates directly from Figma. This allows designers to stay in Figma to create slide templates, while teams use deckd to create, edit, present, and share decks seamlessly.

What can I edit, exactly?

In the deckd editor, you can freely edit text and swap media (eg. visuals, embeds). However, layout, fonts, and color schemes of the master slides can only be altered by designers in Figma. This helps maintain a consistent and professional appearance across all presentations.

Why deckd?

The process of creating professional presentations is often challenging in organizations, leading to inconsistencies, cluttered slides (ever heard of death by PowerPoint?), and inefficient workflows. Or how one of the leading neurologists John Medina puts it:

"If companies would have as little respect for business as they have for presentations the majority would go bankrupt"

With deckd, we are redefining how professional teams approach presentations — eliminating design inconsistencies, cluttered slides, and inefficient workflows. Designers stay in Figma with full creative control, while GTM teams focus purely on the message, ensuring clear communication and preserving design integrity. Learn more
