Napkin AI

Napkin AI is a visual communication platform. Napkin Visuals analyzes text and generates relevant diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, infographics, and data charts, which users can then choose from and customize. Napkin Slides turns ideas into complete, ready-to-present decks. Generated visuals can be exported as PPT, PDF, PNG, or SVG files. The page states that a free plan is available with weekly AI credits, and that paid Plus and Pro plans unlock more credits and features such as PPT and SVG export and custom branding. Visual generation is not yet available on mobile, though existing work can be viewed and presentations created or edited on mobile. The interface is available in several languages and visuals can be created in 60+ languages. Teams can collaborate through a shared Teamspace with real-time editing and commenting.
