What it is
DeckForge is a presentation platform for creating decks with shared brand controls, AI-generated slides, and viewer analytics. Users can create slides from plain-English prompts, which DeckForge inserts as editable HTML/CSS. A central slide library supports categorization, search, locking, and admin-controlled publishing; updates can flow to decks that use a slide. Workspaces set logos, typefaces, and colors that are applied to new decks. Sharing options include public, time-bound, and password-protected links, with controls for navigation and PDF downloads. The platform also lists version history, approval workflows, and API access. Its security features include per-workspace isolation, magic-link authentication, and role-based access controls. DeckForge is open source under the MIT license and can be self-hosted without license fees or seat limits. Self-hosting requires Node.js 20+ and PostgreSQL 14+. White-label options include custom domains, client workspaces, login pages, email templates, and unlimited sub-workspaces. The site identifies teams in sales, marketing, product, HR and people, as well as agencies and consultants, as potential users.
