11 ways to level up your slides with AI

Faster doesn’t always mean better. These days, it’s easy to spin up slides in seconds — but making them stand out is another story. Pitch’s AI actions help you clean up copy, fix visuals, and keep every slide on brand, even when you’re short on time.

And this is just the beginning. Pitch AI will keep evolving to support more of your presentation workflow so you can focus on channeling your human creativity — and shaping the conversations that win work.

Here are 11 ways to start using AI to make your slides look sharper, sound clearer, and land better.

1. Fix inconsistent headshots in seconds

Uniform headshots instantly elevate any slide — whether it’s showcasing speakers, founders, or sales reps. With AI image enhancements, you can quickly standardize images without needing an extra design tool, making every slide look cohesive and professional.

Tip: Use a consistent background color or subtle gradient that matches your brand palette for a polished, premium look.

2. Make product visuals pop in sales and client decks

When you’re presenting — say, a beauty line, a SaaS platform, or a new campaign — clean product cutouts make your slides feel intentional and put-together. Use AI background removal to isolate products from busy environments and spotlight what matters.

This isn’t just for looks, though. People judge credibility in a split second, and 75% say design quality plays a major role in that decision. Consistent, distraction-free visuals help you land on the right side of that snap judgment.

3. Improve images so they look crisp on any screen

When showcasing ad campaigns, lifestyle photography, or event shots, image resolution can make all the difference — and nothing undermines your reputation faster than a pixelated hero image on the big screen. Enhance images with AI upscaling to improve resolution and bring out crisp details, even on larger screens or printed slides.

Tip: Stick to the image types that AI handles best: photos, textures, and illustrations. For screenshots or UI mockups, re-export or rebuild natively for best results.

4. Align multiple visuals into a clean layout

Slides with several visuals (think campaign cards, product tiles, or feature highlights) often look uneven because they have different aspect ratios. Use Pitch AI to expand or crop your images so they line up perfectly. You’ll get a clean grid in seconds without having to drag corners or nudge elements into place.

The result: cohesive layouts that feel designed, not rushed, even when you’re working fast.

5. Create full-bleed hero slides that command attention

Need a wide, cinematic visual for your title slide or section opener? Hero slides set the tone for your story, but finding the right image dimensions can be tricky. With AI outpainting, you can easily extend visuals beyond their borders to create extra space without distortion.

You can also use outpainting to add breathing room around text overlays or maintain visual flow across section dividers.

6. Maintain your brand voice in multi-author decks

Even the best teams struggle with consistency when multiple people touch the same deck. Why does this matter? Because brand consistency can increase revenue by up to 23%.

Pitch AI makes it easy to stay true to your brand voice, regardless of who’s editing. Set up your brand tone so every rewrite sounds unmistakably like your company — whether it’s bold and innovative or polished and professional.

7. Keep language consistent across regional teams

When teams work across different regions, tone and language can easily drift off brand. AI in Pitch helps keep every localized deck aligned with your global voice while adapting for cultural nuance in spelling, phrasing, and emphasis.

For instance, it can swap “organise” for “organize,” and subtly shift tone — thoughtful and restrained for UK audiences, more energetic and to the point for those in the US.

Tip: Combine regional tone rewrites with variable inputs to automatically localize currencies, contact details, and regional data points.

8. Tailor slide text to each client’s reality

Want to show clients you get their world? With Pitch AI, rewrite slide text to instantly adapt your messaging to their specific context. Whether you’re referencing a client’s tools, addressing their pain points, or mirroring their priorities, every slide will feel like it’s speaking directly to them.

Tip: AI can also help you align your tone with a client’s industry. Startups tend to love playful, punchy language; financial institutions expect confident professionalism. Match their vibe, and your pitch is more likely to hit home.

9. Personalize decks for different decision-makers

Different stakeholders care about different outcomes. A CEO wants big-picture ROI. A marketing lead wants campaign metrics. IT wants to talk technicalities. Use AI to adjust slide text for your audience, keeping your core story intact while fine-tuning the details that resonate most with each persona.

Tip: Generate your starting deck in seconds with Pitch’s AI presentation generator, or leverage batch create to instantly produce multiple personalized versions at once. Then insert variables (like role-specific priorities or top KPIs) and use AI to adjust the tone, emphasis, or examples for each audience. Every deck will feel handcrafted — and you’ll save yourself hours of manual editing.

10. Translate slides for global audiences

If your team works in multiple languages, the ability to translate your message quickly helps keep up momentum. With Pitch AI, translate slides into another language in seconds — no clunky copy-pasting or long wait times. Your design and layout stay the same while the text adapts to your audience.

Tip: As with all AI-generated text, have a native speaker review translations to make sure they capture local nuance and tone.

11. Adapt your deck to the timeframe

Tailoring your slide content to the time you have (and format you’re delivering it in) boosts engagement and retention. You don’t need one “perfect” deck; you need flexible versions that fit the moment.

With AI text editing, you can effortlessly reshape your slides to match the context. Tight on time? Condense your story for a 15-minute meeting with crisp headlines and punchy bullets. Got 30 minutes? Expand key points for richer storytelling and deeper discussion. After the meeting, build on that same deck with fuller sentences and context for an async follow-up.

This is just the start

Pitch’s AI actions — alongside existing tools like the presentation generator, batch create, and variables — are helping teams personalize and polish decks faster than ever, without sacrificing quality.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. As Pitch AI evolves, you’ll see deeper intelligence and automation woven into every part of your workflow. Expect a chat-based assistant that grows smarter with every use, and tools that help automate your entire pitching process from generation to follow-up.
