How to present an HTML file as a slideshow
An HTML deck opens in the browser — but scrolling through it in a tab isn't presenting. Here's how to run it like a real slideshow: full screen, one slide at a time, arrow keys to navigate.
Some HTML decks come with their own presenting mode built in; many (especially AI-generated ones) are just a long scrolling page. Either way, when it's time to actually give the talk you want the PowerPoint experience: black background, slide fills the screen, next slide on keypress.
Present any HTML deck
- Open edit-html.com and drop in your
.htmlfile. - Click ▶ present in the toolbar, then click once to begin — the deck goes full screen.
- Navigate with arrow keys, space, or by clicking. Esc leaves.
Slides are auto-scaled and letterboxed to your screen, whatever size they were designed at. And since it's an editor too, you can fix that typo you spot two minutes before the meeting — then present.
Open the editor →Presenting tips
- Everything runs locally in your browser — presenting works offline once the page is open, and your deck is never uploaded.
- Sharing your screen on a call? Share the presenter window and it behaves exactly like a slideshow app.
- Need handouts? Export the deck to PDF first.
