You can present an existing HTML deck directly
A self-contained HTML presentation opens in a browser, so you do not need PowerPoint, Canva, or Figma Slides just to display it. Use the deck locally for a simple talk, or upload it to HTML Slide Presenter for a temporary link, phone controls, and embedded notes. Choose an editor when you need its editing workflow.
Tiny Design Shop accepts supported HTML files, not native Canva, Figma Slides, or PowerPoint files. Renaming or downloading a preview page does not convert a deck.

|---|---|---|---|
| Local HTML file | A simple offline presentation | Browser and the deck’s own controls; notes depend on the deck. | Keep and share the file yourself. |
| HTML Slide Presenter | A temporary talk with phone notes | No account, app, or subscription; upload HTML and pair a phone online. | 30 minutes, 3 hours, or 1 day. |
| HTMLSlides | Offline desktop and dual-display presenting | Install its presenter; its site lists speaker notes and audience sync. | Local files and app workflow. |
| PowerPoint | An event or team using PowerPoint files | Web and desktop workflows; presentation and notes features vary. | Your file or Microsoft sharing workflow. |
| Canva | Template-based creation and collaboration | Browser editor, presenter notes, remote control, and documented offline mode. | Your Canva design and sharing settings. |
| Figma Slides | Collaborative design and prototype-led talks | Figma workflow with presenter notes and co-presenting controls. | Your Figma file and permissions. |

When you do not need Canva
If an AI tool has already produced a complete HTML deck and you only need to present it, uploading the HTML avoids rebuilding that deck in Canva. If you want a visual editor, template library, team comments, or Canva’s presentation tools, keeping the work in Canva may be simpler.
Canva is a browser-based option too. Its official presentation page describes speaker notes, a remote, and offline presenting; “no app needed” is not a unique claim against Canva.
When you do not need Figma Slides
For a finished HTML deck, a browser presenter is enough to show the file. Figma Slides is useful when the team is shaping a deck together or presenting interactive design prototypes. Its notes and co-presenting workflow may fit a multi-speaker session better than a temporary HTML upload.
Tiny Design Shop does not import a native Figma Slides file or reproduce Figma’s editor. Keep a Figma presentation in its original workflow unless you have separately created and checked a self-contained HTML version.
Choose for the talk you need to give
- Already have HTML and want phone controls? Use the free temporary presenter.
- Need reliable offline laptop notes and a second display? Rehearse an offline-capable presenter such as HTMLSlides or a suitable desktop presentation app.
- Conference requires a PowerPoint file? Follow the organizer’s submission format.
- Need comments and shared editing? Use the editor your team already works in.
- Need a lasting public URL? Host the deck permanently instead of relying on an expiring session.
Try your deck before the real talk
Open HTML Slide Presenter, upload one HTML file below 2 MB, select expiry, and complete the bot check. Follow the phone setup guide and check the actual deck on your display.
The Tiny Design Shop presentation step requires no sign-in or subscription. AI tools used to create slides have separate limits. Hosted phone synchronization needs internet; opening a self-contained file locally is a different, offline workflow.
Before an event, work through the conference rehearsal and backup checklist.
