Let’s not discount what we were talking about in the last section because it does have an important statement to make in this point as well, “Keynote is Powerful.” If you’re a more advanced presentation builder, Keynote is robust…it’s powerful. Keynote is cleaner, slicker, and will make your material look better than PowerPoint – if you’re a novice user.
#APPLE KEYNOTE VS POWERPOINT SOFTWARE#
Seriously, if you’re looking at which software gives you the best looking and wider array of choices up-front, there’s no competition. Perhaps you want to create a slideshow of pictures, again, preloaded as the Photo Essay theme. If you want to create a showcase for your product, Showroom is setup for that, again – right away from the core theme chooser that comes preloaded with your software. If you want a simple presentation, no frills, something to start building from scratch – you have a black or white My Presentation theme ready to go. The basic themes for PowerPoint all lend themselves adequately to classroom or generic office settings, whereas Keynotes basic theme templates have a wider spectrum of basic uses. The themes are diverse in purpose as well. In contrast to PowerPoint, Keynote has gorgeous basic themes and templates. Keynote = “Lickable” Themes Keynote is Beautiful Your flying in words effect on the “Parcel” theme is going to be something your audience has seen so many times that it has become de facto amet. There’s no getting around that unless you’re a power-user of PowerPoint, everything you create is probably going to be based on a template that millions have used before you. Users that are comfortable delving deep into the weeds or seeking answers on forums for creating that elegant bouncing basketball animation or transition effect. However, this is only really true for power-users. The counter argument from PowerPoint users in the Keynote-PowerPoint war is that you can do anything with PowerPoint that you can do with Keynote. However, from step one, the PowerPoint themes are structured to look generic. To some degree, these are crutches set up so that anyone can quickly start using these presentation tools and get something going in short order. Out of the box, PowerPoint and Keynote both give you basic templates that you can use to structure your presentation. At this controversial statement, I digress. If the answer to that is a ‘no,’ then it’s likely that you either don’t make many PowerPoints or you don’t consider the audience when you do. Have you ever created a detailed, thought intensive PowerPoint and sat back.looked, scratched your head and thought: “I wish this didn’t look so much like a PowerPoint, sigh.” Keynote Fanboy: “Keynote can do such and such.”Īnd they continue like this until someone gives up.īut I can tell you one excellent reason right now why Keynote is so Great, and better than Powerpoint. In the ensuing debates that follow, the typical back and forth consists of: You might not realize this because to you it doesn’t matter, and why should it? But for someone to unequivocally state that one is better than others is fire a shot across the other side’s noses. There’s a bit of a cold war between Keynote and Powerpoint users. But if I’m glowing a bit, it’s because I believe that Keynote is a great presentation platform. I am a bit of an Apple fanboy, so it should come as no shock that I may sound less objective and more like I’m a shill for my favorite product. Apple’s Keynote presentation software is a brilliant solution for creating clean, crisp, and beautiful presentations.
