Presentations that stand out. Beautifully.

With its powerful tools and dazzling effects, Keynote makes it easy to create stunning and memorable presentations, and comes included with most Apple devices. Use Apple Pencil on your iPad to create diagrams or illustrations that bring your slides to life. And with real‑time collaboration, your team can work together, whether they’re on Mac, iPad, iPhone, or a PC.

Present your story. Your way.

Keynote sets the stage for an impressive presentation. A simple, intuitive interface puts important tools front and center, so everyone on your team can easily add beautiful charts, edit photos, and incorporate cinematic effects. And Rehearse Mode lets you practice on the go, with the current or next slide, notes, and clock — all in one view.

Start with a gorgeous layout.

Choose from over 40 eye‑catching themes that instantly give your presentation a professional look. Or create your own slide designs, background images, and page‑by‑page customization.

Create next-level animations.

Add drama to your presentation with more than 100 cinematic transitions and effects. Make your words pop by adding textures, color gradients, and even photos — with just a tap. And animate objects along a path using Apple Pencil or your finger on your iPhone or iPad.

Make every slide spectacular.

Add subtle movement to your slides with dynamic backgrounds. Illustrate your point with over 700 Apple-designed shapes, or add photos, videos, music, image galleries, and charts. Easily remove backgrounds from supported images and live videos or manually refine adjustments as needed. You can even use your iPhone to take a photo or scan a document, and Continuity Camera can send it straight to Keynote on your Mac.

Learn about everything you can do in Keynote

Get the updates. Then get in touch.

Stay up to date when people join, edit, or comment in collaborative presentations and easily get in touch with your team using Messages and FaceTime.

Get more done on iPad.

Quickly insert objects, find settings, and get to your favorite tools with the customizable toolbar. And Stage Manager makes it easy to multitask across multiple presentations and apps at the same time. 1

Make backgrounds disappear.

Now you can more easily remove backgrounds from supported images — and even live videos — or adjust them to your liking.

Add live video feeds to any slide.

Appear in a window, right on your slides, with a picture-in-picture display during remote presentations. Or include a live feed of your iPhone or iPad screen to show off apps.

Get started with dynamic themes.

Start with one of three beautiful new animated themes, then customize it to set the tone for each slide with 18 adjustable background presets — from understated to highly visual, monochrome to colorful, calm to energetic.

Captivate your audience with dynamic backgrounds.

Make your presentation stand out by adding stunning color and visual interest to your slides. Create motion on a title or closing slide for a bold statement, and keep viewers engaged with subtle movement throughout the presentation.

Present with your team. Seamlessly.

For slideshows with multiple presenters, you can take turns controlling a single deck — from anywhere — on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Play YouTube and Vimeo videos right in Keynote.

Embed a video from YouTube or Vimeo, then play it right in your presentations, without the need to download or open the video in a media player. 2

Present over video conference. Like a pro.

Play a slideshow in its own window so you can access other apps while you present. You can view your presenter notes, upcoming slides, and navigation in a separate window as well.

Outline your presentation. Easier.

With outline view for iPhone and iPad, quickly jot down your thoughts, restructure ideas, and move concepts from slide to slide. Then switch to slide view and start designing.

Present like never before. From anywhere.

With Keynote, presenting remotely can be just as seamless as presenting in person. Say goodbye to saying “Next slide, please” — now multiple people can present together, even remotely, with each person taking control of their section of the deck. Add a live video feed of yourself to any slide for a picture-in-picture experience. Or when presenting on your Mac, include a live feed of your iPhone or iPad screen to walk through your apps. You can even play a slideshow in its own window, so you can simultaneously access your notes and other apps.

Any presentation. Any device. Anytime.

You don’t work in one place on just one device. The same goes for Keynote. Work seamlessly across all your Apple devices. The slides you create using a Mac or iPad will look the same on an iPhone or web browser — and vice versa.

You can also work on presentations stored on iCloud or Box using a PC.

Start using Keynote at iCloud.com

Create and present together. Even when apart.

Work together in the same presentation, from across town or across the world. You can see your team’s edits as they make them — and they can watch as you make yours, too. You can even get notifications when people join, edit, or comment. When presenting as a team, you can also take turns controlling a single deck from anywhere.

Use Apple Pencil when inspiration strikes.

Add color, illustrations, and handwritten comments for more beautiful presentations with Apple Pencil on your iPad.

Plays well with Office.

Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft PowerPoint? Keynote makes it a great working relationship. You can save Keynote presentations as PowerPoint files. Or import and edit PowerPoint presentations right in Keynote.

Apple keynote: how to make an interactive presentation..

Although we have all heard of Powerpoint as a powerful tool for presentations, I believe that after using the Apple keynote, I have also learned that it can be used to create impressive and engaging presentations.

In this story I’m going to show you how we can create and Deliver a Killer Keynote Presentation using Keynote

Set it up correctly :

Start Keynote, then choose a Theme . Choosing an appropriate theme can save you time and effort in redefining styles, backgrounds, and image formatting.

Planning your content :

The Slide is the core component of Keynote, so it’s best to view your interactive piece as a series of small, slide-sized chunks. If you want to tell an interactive narrative, you’ll want to write it one slide at a time in words, images, video, or short animations.

Create your content :

The first page will be a title slide , so write a good welcome text ,Also use simplify charts and graphs to present your data,Always try to put points in further interactive way so that viewer can understand and grasp the slides veritably and fluently. it'll also helps to make the bystander always stick with the slide.

Short animations :

• On the slide, click to select the object you want to animate.
• In the Animate sidebar, click the Animate tab.
• Click Add an Effect, then select an animation.
• To set animation options such as the duration and direction of the animation, use the controls that appear.(Start Transition,Delay)

A Good Animation can help make a PowerPoint presentation more dynamic, and help make information more memorable. The most common types of animation effects include entrances and exits. You can also add sound to increase the intensity of your animation effects.

Presentation experts recommend using animations and sound effects sparingly. Animation can be useful in making a presentation more dynamic, and help to emphasize points, but too much animation can be distracting. Do not let animation and sound take the focus away from what you are saying.

Present it! :

Go ahead — press Play and test out your presentation. Everything should work as you’d expect, and you can press Escape to exit. Save your Presentation to iCloud, then open it on your iPad, and everything will work just the same there.

You have some great tips. I also appreciate the paragraph about using sounds and animations sparingly. It never fails when I introduce Keynote to students, that their first presentation has sounds and animations for everything. Thank you for sharing, Keynote is one of my favorite apps.

There's nothing like a great, well-thought-out Keynote. Thanks for sharing your step-by-step guide.

Another great tips would be to use purposeful animation. If your an explaining how gravity work, using the anvil composition to have an object (or even the word GRAVITY) fall for the sky and land in a smoke dust deliver a message out the topic. And you are right to use is sparingly, use it to gain focus, to surprise you listener.

Great topic and explanation!

Essential in presenting scientific research with one minor defect

I have recently started using Keynote for my presentations as a substitute for Latex and Powerpoint. While the output in Keynote looks much better compared to the previously mentioned softwares, I have been suffering from a defect which might be happening to other users too. Its regarding dragging objects around on a slide. Lets say I write an equation using Latexit or say copy and paste an image from my computer, it sometimes get “stuck” and won’t move around when selected and dragged around. It will eventually but I have no clue as to the origin of the problem. This is time consuming and annoying while editing presentations at the last minute or in general. I haven’t found a good solution to this problem online. The typical solution suggested is to use coordinates which works but sometimes and more often you would like to place the object according to your liking which is difficult to judge from the coordinates. Compared to Keynote, it is seamless in Powerpoint to drag and drog items. Barring this issue, Keynote is a wonderful software, easy to start with and highly useful in presenting your research anywhere.

Live Captions Are Needed

I've been using Keynote to build lecture presentations for university courses since shortly after it was originally releasted in 2003. My needs tend to be pretty simple, and I find that it suits me much better than PowerPoint does. The user interface works very well for me, I like the templates, and it integrates multimedia files like movies really well. In the last couple of years, however, I've focused more on making my presentations accessible to those with disabilities. Because Keynote doesn't create live captions, I've had to switch to PowerPoint for presenting in class (I still use Keynote to build the presentations). I'm hopeful that Apple's systemwide live captions feature (still in beta in Macos Ventura 13.1) will allow me to go back to presenting with Keynote, but the feature isn't functional in that way yet. When I start the presentation, the live captions don't show up on screen. I'm hopeful that Apple will implement something like what they're doing for the live captions in FaceTime (on a per-app basis), but it's just not there yet.

Apple's Keynote App Explained: What It Is, And How To Use It

In many instances in life, there is a need for presentations. Perhaps you've been tapped to give a keynote at a big work thing, or maybe you just want a more constructive way to sell your partner on a particular vacation destination. Either way, you don't need a full suite of professional tools to make a quality presentation in this day and age. All you need is your iPhone and Apple's Keynote app.

The Keynote app, as its name may imply, is an app designed to create quick and easy slideshow presentations from the comfort of your iPhone. Not only can you assemble a series of professional-quality slides in a snap, you can also invite other users to collaborate on the project with you, as well as broadcast your slideshow over the internet. If you need to cook up a convincing slideshow in a hurry, then the Keynote app will be your workplace buddy.

Is Keynote free to use?

As a first-party Apple product, the Keynote app comes preloaded on all modern iPhone models. Neither downloading nor using it costs anything, and in the event you delete it from your phone, you can easily re-download it from the Apple App Store.

Not only can you make and use slideshow presentations in the Keynote app proper, but after you've made a presentation, you can also export it to a variety of popular presentation formats, including Microsoft PowerPoint , a PDF, a standalone movie, and even an animated GIF.

Any presentations that you put together in the Keynote app are saved locally, so if you ever need to run through them again, you can just whip out your phone and show it to someone, as well as broadcast it over Apple's Keynote Live service. Whether you're in the office or out on a stroll, you can put on a presentation at a moment's notice!

How to make a presentation

The Keynote app utilizes a similar framework to slideshow systems like PowerPoint, but much more simplified for the sake of easy use on a mobile device. It only takes a few minutes to set up a quality presentation.

Open the Keynote app on your iPhone.

Tap the + sign on the top-right of the Home screen to create a new presentation.

Select a theme for your presentation.

On a slide, double-tap on a box to enter text, or tap the top + button to add media (pictures, links, etc.).

Tap the bottom + button to add additional slides.

To add a transition between slides, tap the three dots on the top-right of the screen.

Tap Transitions & Builds.

Tap the slide you want to add a transition to.

Tap Add Transition.

Tap the transition type you want.

Your presentation is automatically saved with every edit, so you can just hit the back button on the top left to return to the main menu when you're done. If you like, you can also press the three dots to access the Export option, allowing you to save your presentation as a standalone PowerPoint, PDF, video, or one of several other file types.

How to share a presentation

If you're working on a group project, either in school or in the office, you can use the Keynote app to invite others to work on your presentation alongside you. In the presentation editor, just tap the button with a person and a + sign on it on the top of the screen to get an invitation you can send to others via SMS, email, direct link, or social media. Anyone you send this link to will be able to see and make changes to your presentation.

If you want to share your finished presentation online, then it's time to broadcast with Keynote Live.

Open the Keynote app.

Select a presentation on the main menu.

Tap the three dots on the presentation's overview to open the More menu.

In the More menu, tap Use Keynote Live.

Tap Invite Viewers to send streaming invites to users on your iPhone contact list.

Tap More options to get a link you can send directly to others, as well as set a password for your presentation.

Once viewers have joined your presentation, tap the Play Now button at the bottom of the Keynote Live screen to begin streaming.

You can invite up to 100 users to view a single Keynote Live presentation. Anyone who follows the link will get a web version of your presentation stream, so they don't need to be using an iPhone themselves to see it.

How to open Microsoft PowerPoint presentations in Apple Keynote on a Mac

If you use Microsoft PowerPoint on your Mac, you can save the presentations you create and open them in Keynote, Apple’s presentation app. It’s a handy feature to use in case you can’t access Microsoft’s apps.

Every Mac comes with Apple’s iWork apps: Pages (word processor), Numbers (spreadsheet), and Keynote (presentations). And these apps can import Office documents. Here’s how you can open Word documents in Pages, as well as export Pages documents for use in Word.

How to import Microsoft PowerPoint presentation into Apple Keynote

This procedure works with .pptx and .ppt file formats.

• Launch Keynote (it’s in the Applications folder of your Mac).

• A window may appear, explaining any changes that were made during the import process. The more complicate your PowerPoint presentation (formatting, fonts, images, etc.), the higher the possibility that a change had to be made. The simpler the document, the more your file will resemble what you created in PowerPoint.
• That’s it. The PowerPoint file should open in Keynote.

Before you start working on your presentation, look it over carefully. Formatting may have changed and you may have to fix it. There’s always a chance that so much happened during the import that you can’t use your presentation.

How to export Apple Keynote presentations as Microsoft PowerPoint documents

If you’ve been working in Pages and will eventually return to Word, you can export your document as a Word file. Here’s how.

• In Keynote, click on the File menu and move your cursor to “Export to”.

• Choose where you want to save the file and name it.
• When you click Export, this will save the file.

4 Powerful Presentation Lessons from Apple

Get your team on prezi – watch this on demand video.

Chelsi Nakano May 02, 2016

With the upcoming Apple announcement only a day away, the business world is buzzing in anticipation. What will Tim Cook unveil next—and how will it impact our lives? Whether tomorrow’s announcements harken a new iPhone or a wearable device, we can be certain of one thing: the presentations will be of the highest caliber.

Over the past three decades, Apple’s executives have delivered some of the best presentations in the business. From Steve Jobs’ unveiling of the first iMac in 1998 to Tim Cook’s keynote at last year’s Worldwide Developers’ Conference, Apple has served as an exemplary model for effective content and delivery for years.

As we get ready for the next big product launch from Cupertino, let’s look back at some of the presentation techniques that have made past Apple announcements so great. If you want to present like Steve Jobs, make note of this list in the prezi below and follow these tips next time you get up on stage.

1. KEEP YOUR MAIN MESSAGE SIMPLE—AND TWEETABLE.   (TWEET THIS!)

Apple sticks to sleek, simple design when it comes to its devices—and its presentations are no different. From the language to the visuals, everything in an Apple presentation is designed to convey one message at a time as clearly as possible. This dedication to clarity and simplicity ensures that Apple’s audiences come away from these presentations with the exact message that Apple wants to spread. Communications expert Carmine Gallo praises Apple executives for going so far as to make sure that their headlines are less than 140 characters long, so media outlets and audience members can tweet them out exactly as they said on stage. Take a look at Twitter after tomorrow’s announcement—you might just notice the same headlines, straight from Tim Cook’s mouth, making the rounds.

2. BRING YOUR DATA TO LIFE WITH VISUALS.   (TWEET THIS!)

Steve Jobs understood the importance of powerful imagery. When he announced the launch of the MacBook Air on stage in 2008, Jobs wanted to highlight just how thin Apple’s newest laptop computer was. Instead, however, of simply telling his audience the impressive dimensions of the computer, he showed them, using an image of a manilla envelope .

“It’s so thin,” he said, “it even fits inside one of these envelopes we’ve seen floating around the office.” With this powerful image, Jobs was able to get his message across in a much more compelling way than he would have with numbers and text alone.

Visuals are scientifically proven to help your audience remember your message. Several studies have shown that when combined with images, text-based information is  42% more memorable .

3. PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED.   (TWEET THIS!)

At the Macworld Conference in 2007, Steve Jobs’ clicker famously failed him. Instead of throwing the wretched piece of plastic on the ground or storming off the stage, Steve kept his cool. He made a joke to put the audience at ease, and then launched into a story about his adventures with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in high school.

https://youtu.be/_NNdOy0TJSk

In a matter of minutes—which can feel like hours when you’re up on stage with no backup—the clicker was working again, and Steve was able to continue with his talk. Steve seemed like a natural on stage, but in fact he was meticulous about his preparation—which included preparing anecdotes to tell when clickers stopped working.

4. PLAN FOR A “WOW” MOMENT.   (TWEET THIS!)

Steve Jobs was famous for his audacious statements and bold choices, especially when it came to presenting. Jobs knew how to work an audience—and how to delight them with the unexpected. A great example of this kind of “wow” moment is from Jobs’ introduction of the iPhone in 2007.

“Today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products,” Steve began. “The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third is a breakthrough Internet communications device.” He repeats these lines as the audience begins to cheer. “Are you getting it? These are not three separate devices. This is one device.” And the crowd went wild.

By baking a surprising “wow” moment into every presentation, you’ll be able to keep your audience engaged and enthused—because they’ll never know what to expect next.

Apple uses a unique method to stream and present immersive video

A fisheye lens on an iPhone

Headsets providing VR and AR experiences often offer immersive video to users as well. This can take the form of Spatial Video, providing a 3D effect, but also 360-degree video that favors surrounding the viewer with content.

Apple has also released immersive video clips , namely 180-degree 3D video at high resolutions, though it is relatively slow to grow its content library at present.

To produce those videos, cameras with fisheye lenses are often used to produce an extremely wide angle shot, with multiple videos combined to make a single video.

The Apple Vision Pro does, naturally, have the capability to view fisheye content. However, while it is used to stream Apple TV+ videos, the format is largely undocumented and is unused by third parties.

In research by Mike Swanson published on Sunday, Apple's immersive video projection for users takes a different approach from more conventional fisheye formatting.

Differing distortions

Translating an image from a 2D video into a hemispherical or spherical projection map that's viewable from the user at the center isn't easy, but it is something that has practically been solved thanks to distortion.

A typical 180-degree out-of-camera fisheye shot that encompasses everything within the frame will appear as a circle, with black sections in the corners and edges of the circle referencing areas with no visual data available.

By segmenting the video up in a specific way, it can be stretched to fit a 180-degree field of view of the user, both horizontally and vertically within a virtual sphere. This is the simplest way of accomplishing a projection, but it isn't data-efficient due to the corner sections being part of the encoded video, but not actually being used in the final image.

An alternative that eliminates the black sections exists, in the form of an 180-degree equirectangular projection. Created via editing, it warps the image to fill the entire rectangular frame.

When distorted for viewing, this means more pixels are used for the edges of the projection map, meaning more detail for users to actually see.

To create stereoscopic video for each, or a 360-degree video, each 180-degree field of view is often squished into half the available space, allowing both sides to be included within the same frame.

For this scenario, which makes it harder to preserve details in each 180-degree view, warping out the image to the corners to eliminate wasted pixels makes sense.

Reality distortion effects

Swanson had trouble initially determining what Apple changed in its fisheye projection treatment, but did pull up some details about what was performed from monitoring the network traffic of his Apple Vision Pro.

From monitoring alone, he discovered streams were approximatly 50Mbps, encoded in HDR10, at a resolution of 4,320 by 4,320 per eye, at 90fps. However, since immersive videos were DRM-protected, Swanson couldn't view the raw fisheye frames without breaking it.

He was then alerted to the Apple TV+ intro clip of the logo using the same fisheye encoding, but without DRM. This allowed further analysis of Apple's fisheye format.

For a start, rather than using a single video frame to handle two eyes or front and back 180-degree projections, Apple instead encodes stereo video using MV-HEVC. In effect, each 180-degree projection is stored in a separate video layer within the video file.

More unusually, Apple encodes its fisheye content at a 45-degree rotation. The base of the "sphere" is located at the bottom left corner of the frame, with the top point at the opposite corner.

Swanson says this change makes sense, with one good reason being that the diagonal is the longest dimension of the frame and therefore can store more horizontal post-rotation pixels than an unrotated version.

To viewers, the advantage is that the horizon line will have the most pixels available. Since this is where most people will be looking while watching a video, preserving detail in this section is crucial to the viewing experience.

The areas with the fewest pixels to work with in a projection shifts from the middle of the top, bottom, and sides of a normal fisheye to the "corner" sections, which are feasibly less viewed.

Still some mysteries

Despite the additional information, Swanson hasn't cracked Apple's entire process, with some elements still eluding him.

One of these centers around a technique called Radial Stretching, where each degree of an image is stretched to the edge of a square frame, maximizing the usage of the entire frame for the image.

While Swanson has gotten close when processing a raw Apple fisheye frame, it's "not 100% correct." It is proposed that there are some additional logic elements at play along the diagonals to reduce the amount of radial stretching and distortion required, with Swanson's best guess being the use of simple beveled corners.

It's also offered that Apple could potentially be encoding to a specific geometry to add unnecessary complexity, making it harder for others to use the same format.

Swanson is still left with questions about why Apple uses this type of projection format. While Apple may find there are more benefits to doing so, they are still a mystery.

Encoding video for the Apple Vision Pro is just one of the challenges filmmakers face. In March, Canon executives explained that none of its cameras are capable of producing video at the resolution and refresh rate the headset requires.

If Apple is going to expand on how it treats video in the format, it may do so during WWDC 2024 in June .

Apple believes that AI is the future

• Apple wanted all eyes to be on the Vision Pro when it launched.
• There's a lot more excitement about its plans with AI instead.
• A report about AI chips coming to next-gen Macs helped boost Apple's stock by $112 billion.

Two months ago, Tim Cook was busy marking Apple's bold new vision of the future with the launch of expensive nerd goggles. He might want to reconsider where the company's real future lies.

Last week, investors signaled their belief that there is a more important needle-mover in the Cupertino giant's future than the $3,500 Vision Pro headset it launched in February; Apple's stock by $112 billion after news of an AI overhaul to Macs, of all things.

A report on Thursday from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said Apple is working on revamping its entire Mac lineup with a series of new M4 processors that aim to put AI at their center.

The positive response to the news shows two key things for Apple.

First, expectations are sky-high for its AI strategy.

Though Apple has remained mostly silent on its plans for the tech industry's most-discussed technology over the past year, the market expects Apple's AI efforts to help bring new life to product categories that have felt increasingly staid in recent years.

Related stories

Macs, which suffered a 27% sales drop in the last fiscal year, could entice a new generation of buyers if they come fitted with chips that power generative AI features.

The same goes for iPhones — Apple's biggest revenue driver — at a time when their sales are showing signs of weakness. A report from the International Data Corporation published Monday showed iPhone sales dropped almost 10% in the first quarter of the year.

During that period, Apple particularly struggled with selling iPhones in China, its most important international market, as competitors like Huawei enticed consumers to rival offerings like the Mate 60 Pro. AI could give the phones the refresh needed to make them more appealing again.

Second, the future of the Vision Pro remains highly uncertain.

Mixed-reality technologies like virtual and augmented reality remain niche areas, which are proving tough to attract a mass consumer market to. Some early adopters have already returned their headsets . Apple, meanwhile, has already started offering discounts, per reports .

Also, as my colleague Peter Kafka noted this month , the Vision Pro lacks "killer apps" that can make its "spatial computing" concept feel like more than just a neat trick with a limited number of use cases.

Will that change any time soon? It's possible. With Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference set for June, a slate of announcements linked to the Vision Pro could make it much more useful.

Just don't expect the Vision Pro to steal the show in the same way a big AI reveal would.
