When running a survey or a benchmark the participating groups expect some feedback on how they perform.

Monthly reporting /
progress tracking

For reporting on a regular basis the slide structures remain the same but charts, action titles and highlights need to be updated.

Backup slide
preparation

Even though nobody likes to create backup slides which are most likely never shown, it is sometimes good to be prepared.

These are real-life use cases of SlideFab

All features

SlideFab contains all available features at no cost.

All what you can do with the paid versions is possible here, too.

No Watermarks

The created presentations with SlideFab have no watermarks.

The output is not marked in any way to highlight that the free version of SlideFab was used.

All private

SlideFab does not collect any data. Neither in the paid version nor in the free Lite version.

You won’t pay with your data for using SlideFab for free.

This is how and why SlideFab Lite is for free

SlideFab Lite offers all features for free.

The only difference to the paid versions is that on every template slide not more than two elements can be linked with the Excel workbook. This covers a headline and some content, for example.

To unleash SlideFab a paid version is required

The paid versions of SlideFab are offered on a monthly or yearly basis as subscription. This way all features, all updates and all bugfixes are included. The paid versions remove the two shapes per template slide limit.
