Animations

Build your slide click by click.

Bring a chart in bar by bar, reveal a number when you’re ready to talk about it, and let each slide move at your pace in present mode.

Start free How it works

Every plan · PowerPoint export on Plus and Ultra

Three result cards flying up into place on a dark slide — Click 1: the cards fly in

A bar chart wiping up from the bottom, one bar after another — Click 2: the bars wipe up

The finished slide: three result cards, the full bar chart and a peach callout reading +34 minutes a night by week 8 — Then the callout zooms in

One slide from an example results deck, caught at each click in present mode

In the editor

All the motion in one tab.

The Slicess editor with the Animate tab open: a result card selected, set to fly in from the bottom with the previous animation after a 0.2 second delay, and the slide’s animations listed in order below — The Animate tab: the selected item’s effect, direction, start, duration and delay, and every animation on the slide in the order it plays.

How it works

Animate a slide in three steps.

Pick an item

Select a text box, shape, line, image or chart, open the Animate tab and add an entrance, an emphasis or an exit.

Set the timing

Start it on a click, with the previous animation or after it. Give it a duration and a delay, and move it earlier or later in the slide’s order.

Preview and present

Preview the slide right in the editor. In present mode each click plays the next step, and the slide moves on when they’re done.

What you get

Motion with a purpose.

Animations that help you make one point at a time, not effects for their own sake.

Entrances: fade, float, fly, zoom or wipe in, or simply appear
Emphasis: pulse, grow or spin what you want people to notice
Exits that take an item away once you’ve moved on
On click, with previous or after previous, each with its own duration and delay
Going back undoes the last step, so you can make a point again
Kept as PowerPoint animations when you export, on Plus and Ultra

Directions	Float in from above or below; fly and wipe from any side
Timing	On click, with previous or after previous; duration and delay up to 20 seconds
Present mode	A click, → or Space plays the next step; ← takes it back

Questions

Animations, answered.

What can I animate?

Any text box, shape, line, image or chart, and an item can have several animations: say, an entrance, then a pulse, then an exit. Groups can’t be animated as one piece yet, so animate the items inside them.

Do animations play in share links?

Not yet. Share links show each slide complete. Animations play in present mode, in the editor’s preview and in PowerPoint.

Do they come with the PowerPoint export?

Yes, on Plus and Ultra. Each animation becomes a PowerPoint animation with the same order, start and timing, and slide transitions come along too.

What about people who prefer less motion?

Present mode follows the viewer’s reduced-motion setting: items still appear in order, with a fade instead of movement.

Do they cost credits?

No. Adding animations, previewing and presenting never use credits.
