How Slicess picks and fills a template

Press Generate and Slicess picks the template for your topic and brand, then builds your deck out of its slides: the right layouts, your words, new pictures in each photo box.

You don’t choose a template. After you press Generate, Slicess picks one and builds your deck from that template’s own slides — not a loose imitation of its style.

How the template is picked

  • Your Brand Kit comes first. With a brand selected, Slicess picks the template whose colors, light or dark feel and mood are closest to your brand.
  • Otherwise, your topic decides. A pitch gets a pitch template, a report a report template, a talk a talk template — matched to your industry and audience.
  • Attached files count. Attach a PDF or document and Slicess reads it first to work out what the deck is for.

How the AI uses the template

  1. It reads every slide in the template — covers, agendas, stats, team, timelines, quotes — not just the first few.
  2. It plans your story and picks the template slide that fits each part: a three-number layout for traction, a timeline for the roadmap.
  3. It writes your words into the slide’s own text boxes, sized to fit. Long text is set a little smaller or shortened; numbers are never cut.
  4. It paints a new picture for each photo box, shaped to that box, and puts it in the same place — same size, same crop, same layer. Nothing is stacked on top of the old photo.

What stays exactly as designed

  • Fonts, colors, backgrounds and spacing
  • Shapes, icons, lines and decorations
  • Round and rounded photo crops
  • The template’s logo spots — filled with your logo when you attach one with “logo” in its file name

Things to know

  • Charts drawn into the design keep their shapes. Check the numbers after generating and edit them by hand if they’re not yours.
  • Your photos win. Attach photos and the AI can use them in photo boxes instead of generating new ones.
  • Not enough credits for every picture? Boxes without a new picture keep the template’s own photo.
  • Slide limits still apply (Free 8, Pro 15, Plus 25, Ultra 40 slides per AI deck). The closing slide is always kept.
