Add PowerPoint Export to Your SaaS in 5 Minutes

Your users want to export their data as slides. Building it with python-pptx takes weeks. SlideForge generates native .pptx files from structured data via a single API call — 50+ templates, custom themes, $0.03/slide.

The problem: PowerPoint export is a 2-week project

Every SaaS product eventually gets the request: “Can I export this as a slide deck?” CRM users want pitch decks from deal data. BI tools need dashboard exports. HR platforms want onboarding presentations.

Building this with python-pptx means writing hundreds of lines of layout code — alignment, spacing, fonts, colors, edge cases. Then maintaining it forever. Every new slide type is another sprint.

The real cost: 2-4 weeks of engineering time upfront, plus ongoing maintenance. And the output still looks like it was made by a developer, not a designer.

How SlideForge solves it

One API call. Real .pptx output.

curl -X POST https://api.slideforge.dev/v1/render \

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to integrate SlideForge?

A basic integration takes 5 minutes: one API call to render a template with your data. A full integration with custom themes, multiple templates, and deck generation takes a few hours. No library dependencies — it's a REST API.

Can I use custom branding for each of my customers?

Yes. Create a custom theme per customer via the Themes API (colors, fonts, logo) and pass the theme_id on each render call. Every slide matches the customer's brand. Themes persist across sessions — create once, use forever.

Is the output a real .pptx file?

Yes — native PowerPoint with editable shapes, text boxes, charts, and icons. Your users open it in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Keynote and edit anything. Not an image, not a PDF, not a web export.

How does pricing work for SaaS integration?

Pay-per-slide: $0.03 for template renders, $0.20 for AI-generated slides. No subscription, no seat licenses. Volume discounts at $50+ top-ups (10-20% bonus credit). A SaaS generating 1,000 slides/month pays ~$30-100/month.
