Generate AI presentations from your data


Get started with AI presentations

You can turn your data into a fully designed AI presentation with charts and insights. Upload a CSV file, import from Canva Sheets, or connect a source. The AI then creates a complete presentation with a clear story from summary to key points. This saves time when you need to present data without building slides from the beginning.
