→How to Migrate from SlidesAI to Tome (Step-by-Step)
Last updated: April 2026
Migrating from SlidesAI to Tome offers a shift from text-to-slide automation to AI-powered narrative creation. While SlidesAI excels at transforming raw text into Google Slides, Tome generates complete, story-driven presentations from simple prompts, offering more creative control and modern, responsive outputs. This guide covers the complete migration process, including exporting your existing SlidesAI content, understanding feature differences, setting up Tome, and recreating your presentations with enhanced AI capabilities. You'll learn how to leverage Tome's narrative-focused approach while preserving your core content.

easyFeature Mapping
| SlidesAI | Tome Equivalent | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Transforms text into polished presentations instantly | AI generates coherent narratives and visual layouts automatically | SlidesAI focuses on slide formatting from text; Tome focuses on creating a narrative story from a prompt. Tome's output is more conceptual. |
| Integrates directly with Google Slides for easy editing | Native Tome editor with real-time collaboration | Tome is a standalone platform, not a Google Slides add-on. Editing happens within Tome's proprietary canvas. |
| Offers multiple design themes and layouts automatically | Clean, modern, and mobile-responsive output format | Tome provides curated, responsive themes. You have less granular layout control than in Google Slides but gain mobile optimization. |
| Output to Google Slides format | Output as shareable Tome link or PDF export | You cannot edit a Tome in Google Slides. Primary sharing is via a live web link, maintaining interactivity. |
| Free tier for basic functionality | Freemium pricing model | Both have free tiers. Compare limits on AI generations, slides per deck, and storage when choosing a plan. |
| One-click design application | AI-generated outlines and visual layouts | Tome's AI suggests structure and imagery contextually, going beyond applying a uniform theme to all slides. |
| Graphics from integrated libraries (via Google Slides) | AI image generation & integration with Figma, YouTube, Airtable | Tome offers dynamic embeddable apps and AI image creation, a significant upgrade from static graphic libraries. |
Data Transfer Guide
There is no direct data transfer or import function from SlidesAI (or Google Slides) into Tome. The migration is a recreation process. First, export your SlidesAI-generated presentations from Google Slides: Open the deck in Google Slides, go to File > Download > Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx). Save all files locally. In Tome, you do not import these PPTX files. Instead, you use the content within them as a reference. Open the exported file, extract the core text and data, and use it to craft a narrative prompt for Tome's AI generator. For complex charts or graphics, you may need to screenshot and upload them as images into Tome's media library. The transfer is manual and conceptual, not automated.
