Last updated: April 2026

Migrating from Beautiful.ai to Tome offers a shift from automated design assistance to AI-driven narrative creation.

This guide covers the complete migration process, including data export strategies, feature adaptation, and timeline planning. You'll learn how to leverage Tome's prompt-based generation while preserving your existing content structure and visual assets from Beautiful.ai presentations.

Data Transfer Guide

Export from Beautiful.ai: Access each presentation and use the 'Download' option. Choose PDF for visual fidelity or PowerPoint for editable content. Save all exports to an organized local folder. For media assets, download separately from Beautiful.ai's media library. Import to Tome: Create new presentations in Tome using AI prompts based on your content. Copy text from exported files into Tome's text blocks. Upload images and media through Tome's insert menu. For complex slides, use screenshots as visual references while recreating in Tome's native format. Note that direct file import isn't supported, requiring manual recreation with AI assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Beautiful.ai to Tome?+

Yes, but not directly. Export presentations as PDF or PowerPoint from Beautiful.ai, then use the content to inform Tome's AI generation. You'll recreate presentations in Tome's format rather than importing files directly.

How long does migration take?+

For a typical user with 10 presentations, expect 4-8 hours. This includes content export, AI recreation in Tome, design adjustments, and testing. Complex presentations with multimedia may take longer.

Will I lose any features switching to Tome?+

You'll gain AI narrative generation but may miss Beautiful.ai's real-time design automation. Tome focuses on story creation rather than slide-by-slide design assistance. Some advanced animation features differ between platforms.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Absolutely. Maintain Beautiful.ai access during migration for reference. Run both tools in parallel until all presentations are recreated and tested in Tome. This ensures business continuity throughout the transition.

Is Tome cheaper than Beautiful.ai?+

Both offer freemium models with similar pricing tiers. Tome's Pro plan starts at $16/month, comparable to Beautiful.ai's Team plan. Evaluate based on feature needs rather than cost alone, as the tools serve different purposes.
