A focused presentation tool for fast, visual decks with strong image and narration features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Haiku Deck is cloud-based presentation software for creating, editing, presenting, and sharing visual slide decks through the web and iOS apps. It suits individuals, educators, speakers, and teams that want simple, image-led presentations rather than a broad desktop authoring environment. Templates, layouts, fonts, themes, charts, privacy controls, and live web playback support a focused workflow for turning ideas into concise decks.
Its strongest area is visual content creation. Haiku Deck searches more than 40 million Creative Commons images and includes filters, layouts, professional themes, and styles. Users can add pie, bar, and stat charts, then extend a deck with audio narration, presentation video, YouTube embedding, and synchronized live web playback. Haiku Deck Zuru adds AI-assisted presentation creation from outlines, Wikipedia topics, and PowerPoint files. Integrations and export options connect it with YouTube, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Flickr, Instagram, and Facebook.
The pricing structure moves from a free Basic plan with one public presentation to Public at $7.99 per month billed annually, adding unlimited public presentations, cloud storage, image search, charts, professional themes, and iPhone and iPad apps. Pro costs $9.99 per month billed annually or $19.99 month to month, adding unlimited deck creation, PPTX and PDF downloads, offline access, privacy controls, narration, presentation video, and YouTube embedding. Premium costs $29.99 per month billed annually and adds analytics, view notifications, playback for up to 100 simultaneous viewers, and priority technical support. Choose Haiku Deck for streamlined visual storytelling; choose another presentation tool if broader platform coverage or a different collaboration model is central to the workflow.
