Slide presentation on a desktop computer.

A slide deck is a collection of slides used to convey information or provide an overview of a topic. Originally, slide decks referred to compilations of physical slides created for desktop machines. However, slide decks are now often utilized in presentation software, like Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Apple Keynote.

Each slide in a deck can include a combination of text, images, graphics, charts, and multimedia elements like videos or audio clips. Slide decks are used in various areas, including conferences, business meetings, academic lectures, sales pitches, training sessions, and others.

What's the difference between a slideshow and a slide deck?

While used interchangeably, the terms slideshow and slide deck differ in one key area: their purpose. A slide deck is a collection of slides that are structured and ordered to present a cohesive idea or message. A slideshow is a sequence of images, like a disjointed collection of vacation photos.
