Import iPhone

Presenter for iPhone and iPad is currently in beta. Sign up for the waitlist.

Want to create a presentation really, really quickly? Import a Markdown or text file, which automatically converts it into slides in Presenter. Add a few visuals and you’re good to go.

To import a .md or .txt file from Writer (or any text editor):

💡 Keep the additional importing options checked to further speed up the process of converting your document into a presentation.

Convert Markdown to Slides

Presenter will split your imported document’s content based on its structure. For example, Presenter will create new slide for each # Heading1 or ## Heading2 it finds in your document.

💡 Keep in mind that regular text paragraphs are not not visible in your slides, as explained in our tutorial. Body text is your script by default—your speaker notes.

Import Local Images

If your imported .md or .txt document includes local images, Presenter will automatically add them to the .iapresenter file. Depending on your local settings, Presenter may ask you for access to these images.

Imported images have to be added like this: ![alt text](image_name.png)—see our Markdown Guide for more details. Presenter doesn’t currently support adding images as Content Blocks yet.
