Simple Slides

Simple HTML based slide presenter, designed for demos and other situations where switching to PowerPoint is distracting or unnecessary.

Usage

1. Export your presentation as PNG from PowerPoint, using File --> Save As. When prompted select All Slides
2. PowerPoint will put all of the PNG files into a subdirectory
3. Download release of this repo, extract & copy slides.html into the directory alongside the PNG files
4. Open slides.html in your browser
5. If planning to serve via some hosting or other means, rename slides.html to index.html

Controls

• Next slide: space, pgdown, down-cursor, right-cursor
• Back slide: backspace, pgup, up-cursor, left-cursor
• Blank screen: 'b'
• Hide/show slide number: 'n'
• Show elapsed time (for 5 seconds): 't'

Note

The slides.html file is expecting the PNGs for each slide to be named; Slide1.PNG, Slide2.PNG, Slide3.PNG etc. This is how PowerPoint names them by default.

Tip

To improve the resolution and & quality of the PNG files follow this Microsoft support article which lets you specifiy a higher DPI (e.g. 200) for exported images
