Gemini’s Canvas Creates Slides Presentations

Generate full slide presentations within Gemini's Canvas workspace, a significant time-saver and creativity accelerator. This feature allows users to convert complex research papers, lengthy documents, or even simple text prompts into structured, visually engaging slide decks—complete with themes, relevant imagery, and key data visualizations—in a matter of moments.

To get started, go to gemini.google.com and make sure you are logged in with your university account. Under “Tools”, select Canvas and type in the details of the presentation you would like. You can reference web site URLs or upload documents to provide the presentation’s content.

The power of this feature lies in its ability to support iterative refinement and seamless integration. Once a presentation is drafted, users can continue to collaborate with Gemini, requesting specific edits like adding charts, adjusting the color palette, or refining the text for conciseness before the final export. The final deck can be exported directly into Google Slides, preserving editability and facilitating easy collaboration with peers or instructional partners. This moves Gemini beyond a simple brainstorming tool, transforming it into a high-efficiency content production platform.
