Paste a blog post, news article, or documentation page. PechaKuchaPPT reads it, picks the 20 key ideas, and designs a presentation you can deliver in 6 minutes 40 seconds.

What this tool does
Articles do not present well as-is. A 3,000-word essay has its own rhythm — long paragraphs, nested arguments, link soup — that does not map cleanly to slides. When you try to copy-paste an article into PowerPoint, you usually end up with walls of text that no audience will read.
The URL to PechaKucha tool solves this by treating the article as a source, not a script. The AI fetches the page, strips out navigation and ads, identifies the main argument, and rebuilds it as 20 paced slides. The result reads like a presentation that was designed from scratch — because it was.
Most copy-and-paste workflows lose the argument inside the layout. You spend time formatting text boxes and end up with slides that quote the article instead of presenting it. The URL to PechaKucha tool inverts that: extraction first, design second. The structural skeleton of the talk is decided before a single visual element is chosen.
How it works
Paste the URL of any public article, blog post, or documentation page. The tool fetches the page, removes navigation, sidebars, ads, and footers, and isolates the main content before it goes anywhere near the slide generator.
+ 15 more · always exactly 20 ideas
PechaKuchaPPT reads the cleaned content, identifies the main argument and its supporting points, and produces a 20-slide outline. You see the structure before any visuals are drawn — easy to skim and confirm the AI captured the article correctly.
Each outline point becomes a designed slide with a short title, supporting text, and an image. The deck is paced for 20-second auto-advance, ready to present or export to .pptx.
Features
The tool isolates the article body the same way Safari Reader or Pocket do. Ads, related-content widgets, comments, and navigation never make it into the deck.
The AI maps the article's claim-evidence-conclusion structure into the 20-slide arc instead of just chopping it into 20 equal chunks.
Each slide gets a visual that matches the idea, not the exact phrase. Swap any image through the chat sidebar in one message.
Links and references from the original article are kept in the speaker notes so you can cite sources during your talk.
Read an article in English, present in any language. The chat sidebar translates content, titles, and structure with one message.
Export to PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides. All images embed cleanly and the 20×20 timing is preserved.
Use Cases
Turn your latest essay or newsletter post into a conference-ready talk. The 20×20 format forces the same clarity that made the article worth writing in the first place.
Share a long industry report with your team as a 6:40 walkthrough. Faster than reading, faster than writing the briefing by hand.
Onboard new engineers with a PechaKucha generated from your internal docs page. Easier to absorb than 5,000 words of Markdown.
Build a quick PechaKucha summary of a breaking news story for a stand-up or class. Twenty slides, one idea each, no fluff.
Comparison
Most teams build article presentations by copy-pasting paragraphs into slides. Here is what changes:
The format
An article is a reading medium. The reader controls pacing, can scroll back, can pause on a phrase. A presentation is the opposite: linear, timed, listener-controlled by the speaker. When you copy article paragraphs onto slides, you keep the reading medium's density but lose all of the reader's control. The audience cannot keep up.
The PechaKucha 20×20 format inverts that. Each slide carries one idea, displayed for exactly 20 seconds, regardless of what the original article looked like. You stop trying to fit prose onto slides and start designing for the listener. The URL to PechaKucha tool defaults to this format because it is the format that actually works for spoken delivery — and because the constraint forces every idea earn its slide.
There is also a craft argument. Articles let writers indulge — long lead-ins, hedged claims, footnoted asides. Presentations reward the opposite: a tight thesis, fast supporting points, and a hard ending. By compressing an article into 20 timed slides, the tool strips the indulgences and surfaces the structural argument the writer probably wanted to make in the first place. The audience hears the article's strongest version.
Best practices
These habits make the difference between a deck that summarizes an article and a deck that actually presents it.
Essays and analysis pieces convert better than lists or roundups. A 'top 10 tools' post becomes 20 slides of names; a 1,500-word opinion piece becomes a 6:40 talk with a real arc.
Read the 20-point structure the AI produces and confirm it represents the article. Restructuring at the outline stage takes seconds; doing it after slides are designed takes minutes.
Ask Mia to add a citations slide at slide 20. The original URL and any references found in the article get listed automatically.
Always extract from the source language. Translation works better on the 20-slide structure than on the raw 3,000-word article — fewer words means fewer translation slips.
FAQ
Only if the article is publicly reachable. If a page is behind a hard paywall the fetcher cannot read it — but if you have an account and can copy the article text, you can paste that text into the chat sidebar instead, and the same engine will generate the deck.
Public blog posts, news articles, documentation pages, Substack posts, Medium articles, company landing pages, GitHub READMEs, and most CMS-hosted long-form content. Pages that are mostly forms, dashboards, or JavaScript-only renders may not extract cleanly — in that case, paste the text directly.
Yes — the source URL is automatically saved into the speaker notes of the title slide so you can credit the original work during your talk. You can also add a Sources slide at the end if your audience expects citations.
Extract first, translate second. The tool produces the deck in the article's original language, and then a single message in the chat sidebar translates the whole 20-slide deck — titles, body, and image captions — to your target language. The translation stays internally consistent across slides because it works on the structured deck, not the raw article text.
The tool reads a public web page and rewrites its ideas as a presentation — similar to how a person might summarize an article in a meeting. The AI does not copy paragraphs verbatim. You remain responsible for citing the original source and using the output within fair-use limits for your jurisdiction. For commercial publishing, get permission from the article's owner.
No account is required to generate your first PechaKucha deck. You can try the tool, see the output, and only sign in if you want to save the deck to your library, export to PowerPoint, or come back to edit later. Anonymous use is supported so you can evaluate the quality before committing.
Yes — every slide is fully editable. You can rewrite text directly, swap images through the chat sidebar, change the template, tweak the color scheme, switch fonts, or ask Mia (the built-in AI designer) to refine any slide with a natural-language message. Nothing is locked.
PechaKucha is a presentation format invented in Tokyo in 2003. Each deck has exactly 20 slides, each slide is shown for exactly 20 seconds, and slides auto-advance. Your total runtime is 6 minutes and 40 seconds. The constraint forces clarity — one idea per slide, no overcrowding.
Get a designed 20-slide PechaKucha deck in minutes. Always 6 minutes 40 seconds long, always one idea per slide, always ready to present.
