30hands review
A focused tool for narrated slide videos, captions, sharing, and viewer analytics.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
30hands is a presentation-recording app for teachers, instructors, L&D teams, consultants, and subject-matter experts who need to turn slide content into narrated videos. It can generate editable slide decks from a topic, import PDF and Google Slides presentations, and record narration as presenters move through slides. Webcam video is optional. Finished projects can become captioned MP4 videos in portrait or landscape formats, or shareable web links that do not require viewer accounts.
Pricing is structured around a free plan and two paid tiers. Free includes three projects, a five-minute video limit, 10 AI slides per month, 1 GB of storage, and watermarked exports. Pro costs $7.99 per month or $59.99 per year and adds unlimited projects, unlimited video length, 100 AI slides per month, 5 GB of storage, and exports without a watermark. Pro+ costs $14.99 per month or $119.99 per year, with 250 AI slides per month and 25 GB of storage alongside the same unlimited projects, unlimited video length, and no-watermark exports. The paid tiers fit users who need longer recordings, more AI-generated slides, or greater storage.
The standout workflow combines clip-based narration, automatic subtitles, narration transcription, and viewer analytics for watch duration and drop-off points. Team invitations and collaboration support shared production, while Google Slides and Google Drive integrations fit teams already working in that ecosystem. The web companion and iPhone and iPad app cover recording, exporting, and sharing, with offline recording available in the iOS app. Choose 30hands for narrated presentations with measurable viewer engagement; choose an alternative if you need a conventional timeline editor or a broader listed integration set.
