Dekked for Academics & Researchers
Updated October 2026
Transform your 20-page research paper into a focused, visual presentation for conferences, thesis defenses, lab meetings, or lectures. Dekked extracts your figures directly from the PDF and structures the narrative for a speaking format.
New here? Our step-by-step guides walk through the whole workflow: converting a research paper to a presentation and the best AI presentation maker for PhD students & academics.
Built for Academic Content
Figure Extraction
Detects figures in your PDF, extracts at high resolution, and places them on the appropriate slides with captions.
Methodology Slides
Converts dense methodology sections into clean visual diagrams — flow charts, process diagrams, and step sequences.
Narrative Reordering
Automatically structures slides for presentation flow (problem → approach → results → implications) rather than paper order.
Supported Academic Formats
Template Options for Academics
Pick a dark or light deck. Or, on Standard and Premium, upload your university's .pptx template and Dekked builds your deck in its colors and fonts.
