Genially

Interactions and animations

Any element can be made clickable or animated without code, and every plan includes all interactions, effects and animations, plus games, challenges and branching scenarios.

Genially AI

AI Builder drafts a creation from a prompt, and other tools write text and questions. Use is metered in credits: 500 a year on Free, 2,000 on Pro. Image and voiceover generation start at Master.

Live sessions

Content can be projected in a live session with questions and polls answered in real time. Sessions hold 50 participants on Free and Pro and 200 on Master and Author.

Quizzes, surveys and tracking

Master adds surveys, open-ended questions, tests, quizzes and competitions, with metrics on each creation, individual tracking and a view of responses.

Import, download and LMS export

PowerPoint, PDF and Google Slides files import on every plan. Pro downloads PDF, JPG and video, Master adds HTML, and Author adds SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 and xAPI packages.

Collaboration and brand kit

Real-time collaborative editing and comments are on every plan. Master adds a brand kit with logo variations and palettes, team templates, spaces, and roles and permissions.

Prezi

Prezi AI drafts

Describe the session in a sentence, or upload a PowerPoint, PDF or Word file, and Prezi AI drafts an outline and a designed presentation that stays fully editable.

Zoomable canvas

Presentations sit on an open, zoomable canvas, so a presenter can move around the material in whatever order the room needs rather than only stepping through slides.

Live polls, quizzes and Q&A

Polls, quizzes, Q&A and word clouds are planned in the deck and opened during the session. The audience joins by scanning one QR code, with no app or account, and can upvote questions.

After-session review

The shared link lets people revisit a session as a narrated video, podcast, transcript or the slides, and practice with flashcards and a self-test built from the material.

Results and feedback

Quiz and poll results appear question by question, alongside audience questions ranked by upvotes and an end-of-session digest of ratings and comments.

Prezi Video

Puts the presenter on screen next to the content in video calls and records presentations as video files that can be downloaded and shared.
