WRITE YOUR OWN STORY.

Build the deck together

When the whole team can get into the file, you end up with sharper arguments and fewer surprise rewrites the night before. Tessera keeps everyone on the same slide.

Edit side by side or leave notes overnight, on a laptop or a phone, and keep every round of feedback attached to the slide it belongs to instead of buried in a thread.

Tell a fuller story

A deck usually carries the most consequential thing a company has to say — and it usually gets made in a rush. Tessera plugs into the tools already holding your numbers so the slide is right the first time.

Drop in photography, partner marks and clipped video, or pipe charts straight through from Beacon Analytics, Ledgerloop and Gridsheet. When it’s ready, the deck travels anywhere you send it.

Everything stays on brand

No more hunting for the right green or the licensed weight of a typeface. Save a slide style once and everyone in the workspace inherits the correct colours, spacing and type.

Load your brand assets into Tessera, publish a style, and every deck that leaves the company looks like it came from the same studio. Your designers get their afternoons back.

Decks and the people who need them, together

A workspace gives your team one shelf for its best thinking, so the current version is the one people actually find.

Picture always having the live revenue figure, the approved positioning line and the right product shot within reach. That’s the point of keeping decks where the work happens.

“With Tessera, people can open a deck and pull from styles we’ve already signed off. Doing that live, in one file, took a week of back-and-forth out of every launch.”

How a deck gets made in Tessera

Getting going takes about a minute. Bring an existing slide file across, borrow a structure from the layout gallery, or open a blank slide and start typing. Once you’re in the editor, everything on the slide is yours to move.

Nudge-free editing

Auto-tidy squares up spacing and alignment in one click — useful whether or not you draw for a living. Fix a slide five minutes before the call without filing a design ticket.

Charts that stay current

Stop rebuilding the same quarterly chart. Point Tessera at the source and every table and figure in the deck refreshes itself before you present.

Present from wherever you are

On a call, in a room, or to a few thousand people at once — a Tessera deck runs live in the browser. Invite a client as a guest and decide exactly who can look, comment or edit, or send it out as a PDF.

Common questions

Which deck builder should I actually use?
The one your team will keep open. Tessera runs in the browser, so nobody installs anything, everyone edits the same file, and the version in the shared folder is always the current one.
What’s the fastest way to put a deck together?
Open a layout that matches the shape of your argument, replace the copy, then run auto-tidy once at the end. Most people are through a first draft in about 25 minutes.
Can I build something entirely from scratch?
Yes. Start with a blank slide and the full editor is there — type, media, shapes, tables, embeds and recorded narration, all on a grid you can switch off.
Do I need design skills to end up with something good?
No. Slide styles carry your colours, type and spacing, and auto-tidy handles alignment. If your company has published a style, you inherit it the moment you open a deck.
What should I look for in a deck builder?
Real-time co-editing, brand controls that hold across a whole workspace, live data connections, and a link you can send that tells you what people actually read.
What features does good deck software have?
A shared asset library, comment threads pinned to slides, version history you can walk back, PDF and live-link export, and analytics on the links you send out.
Why work in the browser instead of a desktop app?
Because attachments go stale. A browser deck updates for everyone at once, opens on any machine, and never arrives as deck_final_v7_REAL.
How does Tessera handle our data?
Decks are encrypted in transit and at rest, workspace admins control sharing scope, and we run to SOC 2 Type II and GDPR requirements. Data processing terms are on the legal page.
