How to Switch from Beautiful.ai to Slidecraft (Step-by-Step)

Switching from Beautiful.ai to Slidecraft is mostly a matter of following the same three steps every OneTimeSuite app uses — buy once, deploy or install, bring your workflow over.

Step 1: Buy once on Whop

One payment of $29 gets the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/presentation-builder-mvp and run it yourself for free.

Step 2: Install and open the editor

Runs 100% local as a desktop app: slide thumbnails, live inspector, no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.

Step 3: Build and export

Type your content, let the layouts reflow, then export real editable .pptx or a 16:9 .pdf.

What to expect during the switch

Slidecraft covers the same core workflow as Beautiful.ai, so most people are productive within the first session — see the full feature list and FAQ on the product page before you commit.

Why make the switch at all

Beautiful.ai runs $12-40/mo, forever. Slidecraft is $29, once. Slidecraft costs less than one month of Beautiful.ai's Pro plan, then never asks again.

Try Slidecraft — $29, once

Content-aware slides that reflow themselves, real PPTX and PDF export, 100% offline.
