Tome alternative
The free Tome alternative
Tome pioneered the scrolling, web-native 'tome' format — great for interactive storytelling, less so when someone asks for the file as a PowerPoint. If you want AI generation but a classic slide deck you can export as a real .pptx and edit anywhere, EXdeck is the practical alternative — free to start.
Where EXdeck differs from Tome
Tome leans into an interactive, web-page style presentation. EXdeck is deliberately presentation-first: it produces standard 16:9 slides that export as a genuine Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx) and a high-resolution PDF, so your deck opens and edits normally in PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides — no 'view it on our site' step.
What you get instead
- Real editable .pptx + PDF export, not a shared web link
- A full slide editor — drag, recolor, and restyle every element
- AI data charts built from your real numbers, exported as vectors
- Per-slide regenerate with your choice of AI model
- A genuinely usable free plan; Pro from $1.99/mo
When Tome is still the better pick
If your end goal is an interactive, scrollable web experience rather than a file to hand off, Tome's native format fits that better. EXdeck is for the common case where the deliverable is a slide deck someone expects as PowerPoint or PDF.
