Use cases

Bring a talk to life

Reveal each point as you reach it, so the room listens instead of reading ahead.

Lobby screens

Timed transitions that keep a kiosk deck moving.

Classrooms

Answers that appear one click at a time on a school presentation.

Transitions

How do slide transitions work?

Pick an effect on the Transitions tab, set direction and duration, and use Apply to all for consistency; the same tab can advance slides on a timer for a kiosk slideshow. Morph is saved with its object, word and character options for other apps, while our own slideshow plays it as a soft cross-fade.

Examples

What are good animated presentation examples?

Bullets appearing By paragraph as you talk
A chart fading in once you've posed its question
A product photo zooming in on the cover and a contact slide bouncing in at the end

Maker

Do I need a separate presentation animation maker?

No — effects live in the same editor as your slides, with a live preview, a Preview button for the whole slide and Animation painter to copy a setup. Anything you build is written into the .pptx and plays in desktop presentation apps too.

FAQ

What is animation in a presentation?

Animation is motion applied to objects on a slide — a title fading in, a chart appearing on a click, a photo zooming out at the end. Used sparingly, it steers what the audience looks at and when. The Animations tab groups effects into Entrance, Emphasis and Exit.

What are slide transitions?

Transitions are the effects between one slide and the next — a fade, a push, a turning cube. You set them per slide on the Transitions tab with direction and duration, and Apply to all uses one across the deck; the same tab can advance slides automatically.

How do I create an animated presentation?

Select an object, open Animations and click Add animation, then pick an effect — it previews on the slide. Set Start to On click, With previous or After previous, adjust duration and delay, and press Preview to replay every effect on that slide.

Will my animations play in desktop presentation apps?

Yes. Animations and transitions are written into the .pptx and play in other presentation apps. Effects from other people's files that the editor doesn't know are listed as effects from the file and saved untouched, so nothing breaks on the way back.

What isn't supported?

Motion paths aren't available, and charts animate as a whole rather than series by series. Morph is stored correctly in the file but plays as a cross-fade in our slideshow. Everything else — entrance, emphasis, exit, timing and text builds — works in the browser.

Is it free? Is there a watermark?

Every transition and animation effect is free, needs no sign-up and adds no watermark to the slideshow or the saved file. Only AI operations are paid in Zotu. Animated decks play in any browser, and downloaded files can be shared freely.

Is it safe to upload documents?

Nothing is uploaded to animate a deck — it opens and is edited in your browser. It reaches the Zotu cloud only if you sign in and save, under GDPR. That makes it fine for animating confidential work decks too.
