Disclosure: NOXI publishes this page and is one of the fifteen tools scored. That's why the rules, the weights and the source of every cell are printed, along with the three readings under which it would be second.
AI presentation maker Arabic, checked on 10 November 2026 on seven printed rules: NOXI scores 90 of 100, Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint 80 and Sharayeh 72.5. Only those three document right-to-left Arabic with joined letters in the exported PowerPoint. Read on its home page alone, Sharayeh would be first at 95; its FAQ and plans page say otherwise.
The rule set. Seven rules ask, heaviest first, whether Arabic comes out right to left with joined letters in the PowerPoint you hand in (20 points), whether you can work in an Arabic interface and edit right to left (15), whether the free plan downloads an editable PowerPoint (15) with no watermark (15), whether one request makes a designed deck (15), whether sources reach the slides (10), and whether a team gets a shared space and a saved brand kit (10). By these rules NOXI is first of ten, 10 points ahead of Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint. Every cell comes from vendor pages opened signed out on 10 November 2026 (where a page would not open, four vendors keep their 9 November reading, dated): documented capability, not a new hands-on test.
Three readings change the top, and all three are printed here. Sharayeh's home page lists no watermarks and an editable PPTX on the free plan, while its FAQ puts a watermark on the free tier and its plans page sells editable downloads in credit packs. The plans page decides, so Sharayeh is third; on its home page alone it scores 95 and NOXI is second. If NOXI's five documents a month were read as a cap worth half marks, it would be second on 75 behind Microsoft's 80. And if its Arabic-in-the-file cell were read at half, the two would tie on 80, with Microsoft first on that rule.
AI presentation maker for Arabic: the ten, scored
On seven rules checked on 10 November 2026, NOXI scores 90 of 100, Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint 80, Sharayeh 72.5, Canva 70 and Gamma 67.5, and places 10 to 13 share 32.5 points.
| # | Tool | Score of 100 | Choose it if | Source, with the date opened |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| 10 | ppt.ai | 32.5 | Choose ppt.ai if an Arabic language menu is enough and a watermark on free downloads is acceptable. | ppt.ai/ar and ppt.ai/pricing; 10 November 2026 |
On team use with a saved brand kit (A7), seven of the ten ranked tools take full marks, Microsoft and Sharayeh among them; in NOXI the accent colour, logo and fonts are set per document in Design.
Five more tools are named lines: Manus Slides 32.5 (below ppt.ai on the Arabic-file rule; no free plan card on its plans page on 9 November), Beautiful.ai 32.5 (below Manus on sources; its trial needs a card), Pitch 32.5 (below Beautiful.ai on name; Pitch branding on every Free export), SmallPPT 27.5 (PowerPoint export on paid plans only) and Prezi 25 (no PowerPoint export).

Which Arabic AI presentation maker to choose
Six needs point to six tools, and five of them are not ours.
- If you already pay for Microsoft 365 and build inside PowerPoint then Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint, because Microsoft documents right-to-left files with contextual shaping for Arabic and lets an organisation publish its Brand Kit for Copilot; Copilot needs a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription [2].
- If you convert Arabic PDFs or Word files into slides, or must repair a broken Arabic deck then Sharayeh, because its home page lists those conversions into editable PowerPoint and its RTL fixer allows 3 fixes a day without sign-up [3].
- If your team designs in Canva then Canva, because its Arabic page says the editor writes right to left automatically, its help offers Mirror page, and Free puts watermarks only on premium elements [4].
- If cited research on the slides matters most then Gamma, because its help says the AI can search the web and pull in citations; Free exports carry a Made by Gamma badge [5].
- If you write Arabic content inside Google Slides or PowerPoint then SlidesAI, because its about page names Arabic among its creation languages and its free plan downloads a .pptx, with a small mark [6].
- If one request should become a designed right-to-left deck with sources, downloaded free with no watermark then NOXI, because its PowerPoint export embeds the fonts so Arabic stays joined, and the free plan covers five documents a month [1].
In short
- Arabic in the fileThree of fifteen tools document right-to-left, joined Arabic in the exported PowerPoint: NOXI, Microsoft and Sharayeh. Six more document Arabic in the product, not in the file.
- The biggest sensitivitySharayeh's home page and its FAQ and plans page disagree about the free plan. On the home page alone, Sharayeh is first at 95.
- The leadTen points, and they rest on the free-plan rules. Without the watermark rule the lead is 2.5; under the cap reading Microsoft leads 80 to 75.
- MethodDocumented capability from official pages opened signed out on 10 November 2026. Not a new hands-on test.
Key numbers
How we scored: rubric A, seven rules, 100 points
Seven rules add up to 100 points, and every rule has a printed full mark, half mark and zero, the same for all fifteen tools.
| Code | Rule (points) | Full, half and zero, identical for every tool |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Arabic right to left with joined letters in the exported PowerPoint (20) | 20 = the tool's own file is PowerPoint with right-to-left, shaped Arabic documented, or the vendor documents that its PowerPoint export keeps Arabic right to left and joined · 10 = Arabic documented for the product only · 0 = neither |
| A2 | Arabic interface and right-to-left editing (15) | 15 = both documented · 7.5 = one · 0 = neither; a translated marketing page or a site language menu is not product documentation |
| A3 | Editable PowerPoint export on the free plan (15) | 15 = the free plan downloads an editable .pptx of the AI deck · 7.5 = a .pptx, but paid, trial, editability not stated, or the AI deck is paid · 0 = no .pptx, or slides as pictures |
| A4 | Free download with no watermark (15) | 15 = the vendor says free downloads carry no mark · 7.5 = a free download with no such sentence, marks on premium elements only, or the AI deck is paid · 0 = a mark, or no free download |
| A5 | One request to a designed deck (15) | 15 = a complete designed deck from one request · 7.5 = beta, outline only, or one slide at a time · 0 = not documented |
| A6 | Research with sources in the deck (10) | 10 = citations or a sources list in the deck · 5 = research, sources in the deck not stated · 0 = not documented |
| A7 | Team workspace and saved brand kit (10) | 10 = both documented · 5 = one · 0 = neither |
The half-mark rule: half is half the weight, and every half cell below says why inside the cell. The tie chain, printed before scoring: A1, A2, A5, A3, A4, A6, A7, then name. It decides three places at 32.5: ppt.ai above Manus Slides on A1, Manus above Beautiful.ai on A6, Beautiful.ai above Pitch on name. Settled readings: a stated free cap takes the full level because no half line names caps (the cap reading is printed below); where a row's AI deck needs a paid plan, A3 and A4 take half at most. The same evidence family feeds our Arabic ranking of Gamma alternatives, scored on 9 November on a different rubric.
Every cell, with the reason for each middle mark
NOXI's 90 is 20 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 10 + 0 and Microsoft's 80 is 20 + 15 + 7.5 + 7.5 + 15 + 5 + 10; every row adds the same way.

The gaps between the rows you will compare
- NOXI 90 minus Microsoft 80 = 10. NOXI gains 15 on A3 and A4 (the free plan, where Copilot needs a subscription) and 5 on A6 (sources on the slides); Microsoft gains 10 on A7 (organisation Brand Kits). A1, A2 and A5 are level.
- Microsoft 80 minus Sharayeh 72.5 = 7.5, all A4: Sharayeh's FAQ puts a watermark on its free tier.
- Sharayeh minus Canva = 2.5: Sharayeh gains 10 on A1, Canva 7.5 on A4. Gamma minus SlidesAI = 5, all A6: Gamma documents citations.
- Places 2 to 6 sit within 17.5 points, and 102 single-step moves of one cell change some place.
Sensitivity readings: what moves when a rule or a cell moves
- Sharayeh's home page read on A3 and A4, its FAQ, plans and generator pages set aside: Sharayeh 95 and first, NOXI 90, Microsoft 80. Home page on A3 alone: Sharayeh 80, second above Microsoft on A3. Home page on A4 alone, at half because its AI deck's editable download is paid: Sharayeh 80, third on name.
- The cap reading, a stated free cap at half on A3 and A4 (NOXI's five documents a month, Gamma's 400 credits at signup, SlidesAI's 200 credits a month): Microsoft 80, NOXI 75, Sharayeh 72.5, Canva 70, Gamma 60, SlidesAI 55. Microsoft is first under this reading.
- NOXI's A1 at half, if its record's "Arabic stays joined" were read as not covering the exported file: NOXI and Microsoft on 80, Microsoft first on A1. No single Microsoft cell does the same; its best move gives 87.5.
- Without A4, the watermark rule, out of 85: NOXI 75, Microsoft 72.5, Sharayeh 72.5. NOXI first by only 2.5: the lead rests largely on the clean free download.
- Without A2, out of 85: NOXI 75, Microsoft 65, Gamma 60, Sharayeh 57.5, NOXI first by 10. Without A6, out of 90: NOXI 80, Microsoft 75, Sharayeh 67.5, NOXI first by 5.
- Equal weights: NOXI 85.7, Microsoft 78.6, then Sharayeh, Canva and Gamma level on 71.4; ppt.ai leaves the ten and Manus Slides enters.
- Microsoft A3 and A4 at full, if Copilot came to the free PowerPoint: 95 and first. A3 alone at full: 87.5, second.
- Middle of the table: Gamma's A2 at full gives 75, third; Canva's A3 at full gives 77.5, third; Manus's free daily credits read as a free plan push ppt.ai out of the ten.

Blanks, printed as blanks. Genspark's pages returned 403 on 10 November, so its cells keep the 9 November reading; its own pages do not document an Arabic interface or right-to-left editing in a page we could read, and its plans sit behind sign-in (A2 and A4 are named blanks). Beautiful.ai A1 and A2 and Prezi A1 are named blanks: their help searches for Arabic returned 403. Gamma's pricing page returned 403 on three attempts, and the Manus and Prezi pricing pages served empty shells, so their plan facts are dated 9 November.
AI presentation generator Arabic RTL support: who documents it in the file
Nine of fifteen tools document Arabic somewhere in the product, but only three document right-to-left Arabic with joined letters in the PowerPoint file a reader takes away.
The three at full marks. NOXI's product record says its PowerPoint export writes editable text boxes with embedded fonts, so Arabic stays joined, on right-to-left pages with mirrored layouts [1]. Microsoft's support page on right-to-left languages says Office covers languages that require contextual shaping, such as Arabic, and that you can change individual files so their contents read right to left; PowerPoint is Microsoft's own file [2]. Sharayeh's AI presentation maker page, updated on 10 November 2026, describes a complete Arabic presentation with proper right-to-left text direction and Arabic fonts, downloaded as a fully editable PowerPoint file [3].
The six at half document Arabic while you work, not in the file: Canva's editor writes right to left automatically [4]; Gamma supports right-to-left languages including Arabic in the editor and the AI output [5]; SlidesAI names Arabic among its creation languages [6]; NextDocs shows an Arabic prompt on its Arabic page [7]; Genspark's Arabic page, read on 9 November, names Arabic among 19 generation languages [8]; and ppt.ai has Arabic in its language menu, though its FAQ list omits it [10]. The six at zero are Presentations.AI, whose FAQ names no language, Manus Slides, Pitch and SmallPPT, with no Arabic output statement, and Beautiful.ai and Prezi, whose help searches would not open.
On the interface rule, four tools document both an Arabic interface and right-to-left editing: NOXI, Microsoft (Arabic as the display language, right-to-left buttons on the ribbon), Sharayeh (its FAQ names Arabic among 14 languages and full RTL layout support for Arabic and Hebrew) and Canva (its Arabic help says the app reloads in the language you pick, and Mirror page flips layouts). Gamma and SlidesAI document one of the two. For Arabic writing, translation or OCR rather than slides, our best AI for Arabic ranking scores those.
PowerPoint AI in Arabic: Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint
Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint scores 80, second, with full marks on Arabic in the file, the interface, one-request decks and team brand assets, and half marks on the free plan and on sources.
Its strength is that the deck is PowerPoint from the first slide: Microsoft's Arabic generator page shows a request becoming an outline or fully designed slides, with native PowerPoint editing [2]. Microsoft Learn's Brand Kits page lets admins publish the organisation's Brand Kit to make approved brand assets available in Copilot in PowerPoint.
The limits are on the same pages. Step 2 of the Arabic generator page says that if you cannot see Copilot, you first need a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, and on 9 November its FAQ said Copilot is not in the free PowerPoint. Microsoft Learn's web search page, updated on 4 November 2026 by its own data, says citations are not available in the Copilot pane inside Word or PowerPoint. The UAE compare page lists Microsoft 365 Personal at USD$99.99 a year or USD$9.99 a month, offers a free month, and says AI features are not available in Microsoft 365 Basic.
Sharayeh: Arabic-first pages, and a free plan they disagree on
Sharayeh is the specialist here: full marks on Arabic in the file, the Arabic interface, one-request decks and team use, and third at 72.5 only because its own pages disagree about the free plan.
What its pages document, read on 10 November 2026. Its home page lists conversions of PDF, Word, Excel, images, HTML, audio and video into slides, and says files are auto-deleted after processing and never used to train AI models. Its enterprise page lists workspaces with role-based permissions and shared templates and brand kits. Its PPT RTL fixer, updated on 10 November 2026, takes a .pptx whose Arabic runs the wrong way and returns an editable file with right-to-left paragraph direction, punctuation moved to the correct side and broken fonts replaced by Cairo, Tajawal, Amiri or Noto Sans Arabic; without sign-up it allows 3 fixes a day, files up to 50 MB, no credit card [3].
| Sharayeh page | What it says about the free plan | Read, 10 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Home page (English and Arabic) | No watermarks on Free; 3 conversions per tool per day with editable PPTX export | 09:00 |
| FAQ (English and Arabic) | A free tier that creates presentations with a watermark | 09:02 |
| Plans page (/en/buy-credits) | Credits unlock PRO features; editable downloads listed in both paid packs; silent on marks | 09:02 |
| AI presentation generator page | Preview your first deck without sign-up; the editable PPTX needs a paid plan | 09:05 |
The plans page decides, as for every vendor: A3 takes half and A4 zero, so 72.5 and third. On the home page alone, A3 and A4 go to full and Sharayeh scores 95, first by five. The packs are $10 for 3,000 credits and $24 for 10,000, sold as packs, not monthly. Our Arabic head-to-head, NOXI or Sharayeh (September 2026), goes deeper.

Sharayeh alternative: when to switch, and when to stay
Stay with Sharayeh if your work starts from Arabic PDFs or Word files, or if you repair decks other tools made; no other tool on this page documents a fixer for another tool's Arabic PowerPoint in the pages we read. Look at the other rows if you need a free download today: Microsoft's free PowerPoint (without Copilot) has no mark stated, and Canva's free plan marks only premium elements; if you need citations on the slides, Gamma documents them. If Sharayeh's plans page and FAQ come to match its home page, it moves to first.
Canva, Gamma and SlidesAI: Arabic in the editor, silent about the file
Canva, Gamma and SlidesAI score 70, 67.5 and 62.5, each with half marks on the Arabic-file rule: all three document Arabic while you work, and none says what direction it takes in the exported PowerPoint.
Canva: mirrored pages, a Brand Kit, marks only on premium elements
Canva's Arabic AI presentations page says Magic Design drafts the slides from your input, handles formatting and layout, and that the editor writes right to left automatically [4]. Its translate help offers Mirror page for right-to-left languages, and Canva AI's help lists Arabic and offers Web Research with sources from the web, but no citation wording. Its download help lists PPTX and says you may need to make edits or install the fonts you used; premium elements carry watermarks for Canva Free users. On the UAE pricing page, Pro is 440 UAE dirhams a year for one person.
Gamma: right to left, citations, a badge on free files
Gamma's right-to-left help, modified on 3 November 2026 by its page data, supports right-to-left languages including Arabic and asks you to check that RTL text aligns properly [5]. Its AI editing help says the AI can search the web and pull in citations, the only other full A6 mark. Its export help, modified on 5 November 2026, embeds the theme's fonts in the .pptx and puts a badge on PDF and PPTX exports from Free workspaces. On 9 November its pricing page listed Free with up to 10 slides per prompt and Plus at $12 a seat a month, billed monthly.
SlidesAI: Arabic content inside Google Slides and PowerPoint
SlidesAI's about page names Arabic among the languages it creates and translates presentations in, and a changelog dated 1 September 2026 by its page data says charts now display naturally in right-to-left languages [6]. Its supported-languages page says the app itself is translated into a list without Arabic. Its help says it builds a complete presentation from a topic, downloads a .pptx and searches the web on every plan; decks made on a free plan carry a small Made with SlidesAI mark. Pro is $10.00 a user a month, billed at $120 a user a year.
The rest of the ten. NextDocs' Arabic pricing page says its PowerPoint export is one picture per slide [7]. Genspark's English page, read on 9 November, says generation and export can require credits or a paid plan [8]. Presentations.AI's FAQ says paid plans unlock PowerPoint export [9], and ppt.ai's FAQ puts a watermark on free downloads [10].
Arabic slides with AI for free: what each free plan gives
Nine of the ten offer a free route, and they differ most in what the free file carries: a mark (Gamma, SlidesAI, ppt.ai), marks on premium elements only (Canva), no mark sentence (Microsoft, NextDocs), or pages that disagree (Sharayeh).
| Tool | Free route, as its page states it | What a free download carries | A paid price, as served |
|---|---|---|---|
| NOXI | Five documents a month; a free account, no card | No watermark; editable PowerPoint | Free to start; every change after a document is free |
| Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint | Free PowerPoint without Copilot; a one-month trial | No mark sentence | Personal USD$99.99 a year (en-ae) |
| Sharayeh | Preview a first deck without sign-up | FAQ: a watermark; home page: none | Packs: $10 for 3,000 credits, $24 for 10,000 |
| Canva | Free plan, 0 UAE dirhams | Marks on premium elements only | Pro 440 UAE dirhams a year |
| Gamma | Free, up to 10 slides per prompt | Made by Gamma badge | Plus $12 a seat a month, billed monthly (9 November) |
| SlidesAI | Basic, 200 AI credits a month | Made with SlidesAI mark | Pro $10.00 a user a month, billed $120 a user a year |
| NextDocs | Up to 3 exports, PDF and image | No mark sentence | Pro $16 a month, billed $192 a year |
| Genspark AI Slides | No free plan documented | Not documented | Behind sign-in |
| Presentations.AI | Starter $0, to create and evaluate | PowerPoint export is paid | Pro $20 a month, $240 billed annually (US) |
| ppt.ai | Free use, by its FAQ | A watermark, by its FAQ | Plus $9.9 and $14.9 a month on its Monthly and Annually toggle |
Below the ten, Beautiful.ai's 14-day trial needs a card, with Pro at $14.50 a month billed annually; Pitch's PowerPoint export starts on Plus at €10 a month paying yearly. Prices are as each page served them to a UAE connection, unconverted.
How to test Arabic in your PowerPoint file before you send it
Seven checks on a second computer show whether the Arabic in a PowerPoint file survived, whichever tool made it.
The editor is not the file. A deck can look perfect in the browser and open differently on a client's laptop that lacks the font, reads paragraphs left to right, or reorders numbers and English words. That order is set by the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm (Unicode Standard Annex #9, revision 52, 1 September 2026), written for "unambiguous handling of bidirectional text" [16]. Test the exact file you will send.
- Open it on a computer that is not yours.Pass: desktop PowerPoint on a colleague's machine, without your fonts, shows every slide as you approved it. Fail: line breaks moved, text spills out of a box, or the typeface changed.
- Joined letters.Pass: at 200% zoom every Arabic word is joined, in titles, tables and chart labels. Fail: separate letters, or empty rectangles.
- Paragraph direction.Pass: in each Arabic paragraph the Right-to-left button (Home tab, Paragraph group) is on, and bullets sit on the right. Fail: Arabic starts at the left edge.
- Numbers and Latin words inside Arabic.Pass: a line such as ارتفعت المبيعات 12% في الربع الثالث بعد حملة Instagram reads in order, the percent sign stays with its number, and the English word sits where you typed it. Fail: digits jump to the other end, or a question mark lands at the start.
- Fonts embedded or substituted.Pass: you saved with Embed fonts in the file, or the other computer has the Arabic font, and letter shapes and line lengths match. Fail: lines wrap elsewhere, a sign the font was replaced.
- Tables, timelines and mirrored layouts.Pass: the first table column is on the right and timelines run the way Arabic reads. Fail: an English layout with Arabic words poured in.
- The PDF too.Pass: a PDF saved on the second computer shows the same Arabic. Fail: the PDF differs from the slides.

If the Right-to-left button is missing, Microsoft's support page says it appears only when a right-to-left language is enabled: File, Options, Language, choose the Arabic dialect, then Add a Language [2]. Direction is set per paragraph, so an English line can stay left to right.
To embed fonts in PowerPoint for Windows, Microsoft's page gives File, Options, Save, then Embed fonts in the file under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation. It recommends Embed all characters when others will edit, and warns that without embedding, special characters can turn into meaningless rectangles [2]. It lists the feature for PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac too, and says nothing about PowerPoint for the web.
If a check fails, fix it by hand with the Right-to-left button and an Arabic font, then save with fonts embedded; ask the tool that made the deck to rebuild the slide; or run the file through Sharayeh's PPT RTL fixer, which documents paragraph direction, punctuation and font replacement for a .pptx from any tool [3]. Our guide to the bilingual Arabic and English presentation covers mirrored layouts from the start, and once the file passes, our presentation skills drills cover the rehearsal.
What changed recently
Five vendor pages behind the cells above carry a date in the last ten days; the newest is Sharayeh's, dated the day we read it.
| Vendor | What moved | Date on their page | When we read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharayeh | AI presentation maker page: Arabic right to left, try without sign-up, editable PPTX | 10 November 2026 | 10 November 2026 |
| Beautiful.ai | Pricing page republished; visible text unchanged (trial needs a card) | 9 November 2026, the page's own data | 10 November 2026 |
| Gamma | Export help: badge on Free PDF and PPTX; theme fonts embedded in the .pptx | 5 November 2026, the page's own data | 10 November 2026 |
| Microsoft Learn | Web search page: citations only in Copilot Chat, not in the pane inside PowerPoint | 4 November 2026, the page's own data | 10 November 2026 |
| Gamma | Right-to-left and interface language help: Arabic among RTL languages; no interface language list | 3 November 2026, the page's own data | 10 November 2026 |
What these rules don't measure
Seven rules about Arabic in the file leave out things readers care about, and other tools on this list are strongest in several of them.
- Deck quality, Arabic style and dialect. No rule reads the slides or judges the Arabic prose.
- Converting and repairing files. Sharayeh turns PDFs, Word files and images into editable PowerPoint and repairs other tools' Arabic decks.
- Working inside PowerPoint. Copilot builds in native PowerPoint with your Brand Kit; SlidesAI works inside Google Slides and PowerPoint.
- Design range. Canva's library and team editing, and Gamma's theme builder.
- Data location and privacy. Not scored. UAE buyers who need data residency can read our AI presentation makers in the UAE ranking, which scores it.
What would change this ranking
Three page changes would move the top of the order, each tied to a vendor page and a re-check date.
- 1. Sharayeh's plans page adds a free editable PPTX, and its FAQ drops the free-tier watermark. If sharayeh.com/en/buy-credits and sharayeh.com/en/faq match the home page and the generator page drops its paid-plan line, A3 and A4 go to full: Sharayeh 95 and first, NOXI second. The plans page alone gives Sharayeh 80, second. Re-check 1 December 2026.
- 2. Microsoft puts Copilot in the free PowerPoint. If step 2 of the Arabic AI PowerPoint generator page stops requiring a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription and its FAQ stops excluding the free PowerPoint, A3 and A4 go to full: Microsoft 95 and first, NOXI second. Re-check after Microsoft Ignite (17 to 20 November) and on 1 December 2026.
- 3. Gamma's help names Arabic as an interface language, or says PowerPoint exports keep Arabic right to left. If help.gamma.app article 11016506 lists Arabic, Gamma scores 75, third; if article 8022861 documents Arabic in the export, 77.5, third. If that export article also dropped the badge on Free exports, Gamma would reach 92.5 and move to first. Re-check 1 December 2026.
Make it in NOXI: a 10-slide Arabic launch plan from one request
NOXI (noxi.ai) is an AI maker for presentations and documents: you describe what you need in one request, and it builds a designed deck or document in one of 14 formats; the free plan covers five documents a month, downloads carry no watermark, and files export to PowerPoint, Word and PDF.
This flow uses the Presentation format of NOXI 2.0, with one request written in Arabic, or in English with "in Arabic" added.
اعمل عرضًا تقديميًا من 10 شرائح بالعربية عن خطة إطلاق [اسم المنتج] في [السوق] خلال الربع الأول من 2027: الفكرة، العميل المستهدف، حجم السوق مع مصدر لكل رقم، المنافسون، السعر، قنوات التسويق، خطة زمنية بالأسابيع، الميزانية في جدول، المخاطر، ثم الخطوة التالية.
In English: a 10-slide deck in Arabic on the launch plan for [product] in [market] in early 2027, with a source for every market figure, a week-by-week timeline and the budget as a table.
في الشريحة 4، حوّل أرقام حجم السوق إلى رسم أعمدة، وأبقِ المصدر تحت كل رقم، ولا تغيّر شيئًا آخر.
In English: on slide 4, turn the market figures into a bar chart, keep each source, change nothing else.
اكتب اسم المنتج بالإنجليزية كما هو في كل العناوين، وأبقِ بقية الجملة بالعربية.
In English: keep the product name in English in every title, and the rest of each sentence in Arabic.
Step 1. Keep Presentation picked on Home
Open noxi.ai and create a free account; no credit card is needed to start. Home opens with the Presentation format picked, and the whole interface is available in Arabic.
Step 2. Write the request in Arabic
Paste Prompt 1 with your product and market. Attach your notes or a report if you have them, and NOXI builds from them.
Step 3. Press Create and let NOXI plan every slide
NOXI sketches every slide first (cover, key number, chart, table, timeline), searches the live web for the market figures and keeps every source on the slide. When a figure cannot be confirmed, it leaves a clear field for you to fill instead of guessing.
Step 4. Look over the right-to-left layout
Slides come out right to left with mirrored layouts, in an Arabic typeface such as IBM Plex Sans Arabic, with Arabic and English mixed correctly in one sentence, in a style picked from more than ninety in English and Arabic.
Step 5. Change one slide by chat
Select slide 4 and say what should change, as in Prompt 2; NOXI changes only what you asked, or edit the slide by hand. Every change can be undone, and every change after a document is made is free.
Step 6. Export to PowerPoint and run the checks
Export to PowerPoint: editable text boxes and embedded fonts keep Arabic joined, and the file is compared with the slides before the download appears, with no watermark. Then run the seven checks above on a second computer.

Frequently asked questions
- Which AI presentation generator has Arabic RTL support?
- Many write Arabic right to left in the editor, but on 10 November 2026 only three of fifteen documented right-to-left, joined Arabic in the exported PowerPoint: NOXI (90 of 100 on our seven rules), Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint (80) and Sharayeh (72.5). Canva, Gamma and SlidesAI say nothing about direction in the file.
- Does Copilot in PowerPoint work in Arabic?
- Yes. Microsoft's support page says Office handles languages that need contextual shaping, such as Arabic, offers Arabic as a display language and enables right-to-left paragraph buttons. Its Arabic generator page shows a request becoming an outline or designed slides. Copilot itself needs a Microsoft 365 subscription with Copilot, checked 10 November 2026.
- Is Copilot in PowerPoint free?
- No. Microsoft's Arabic generator page says that if you cannot see Copilot you first need a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription, and on 9 November its FAQ said Copilot is not in the free PowerPoint. The UAE compare page lists Microsoft 365 Personal at USD$99.99 a year and says Microsoft 365 Basic has no AI features.
- Is Sharayeh free, and does it add a watermark?
- Its pages disagree. Sharayeh's home page, read on 10 November 2026, says no watermarks on Free and lists editable PPTX export on the free plan. Its FAQ says the free tier creates presentations with a watermark, and its plans page puts editable downloads in paid credit packs, from $10 for 3,000 credits.
- Does Canva support Arabic presentations?
- Yes, in the editor. Canva's Arabic AI presentations page says the editor writes right to left automatically, its help lists Arabic among Canva AI's languages, and Mirror page flips layouts for right-to-left languages. Free downloads PPTX with marks only on premium elements; its download help says nothing about text direction in the file.
- Does Gamma support Arabic right to left?
- In the editor and AI output, yes: Gamma's help says it supports right-to-left languages including Arabic. Its export help, modified on 5 November 2026, says nothing about Arabic in the PowerPoint file and puts a Made by Gamma badge on PDF and PPTX exports from the Free plan.
- Why do Arabic letters come apart in PowerPoint?
- Usually because of the font. Arabic letters join by contextual shaping, so a font without Arabic letters, or one missing on the computer that opens the file, can show separate letters or empty boxes. Microsoft warns that characters can turn into meaningless rectangles. Embed the fonts when you save, or use a font that supports Arabic.
- How do I make text right to left in PowerPoint?
- Add Arabic under File, Options, Language, then select the paragraph and click Right-to-left in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. Microsoft's support page says that button only appears when a right-to-left language is enabled. Direction is set per paragraph, so an English line on an Arabic slide can stay left to right.
- How do I embed fonts in PowerPoint so Arabic looks the same?
- In PowerPoint for Windows, go to File, Options, Save and tick Embed fonts in the file under Preserve fidelity when sharing this presentation. Microsoft recommends Embed all characters when other people will edit. Its page lists the feature for PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 for Mac too, and says nothing about PowerPoint for the web.
- Is there a free tool to fix Arabic RTL in a PowerPoint file?
- Sharayeh's PPT RTL fixer, updated on 10 November 2026, returns an editable .pptx with right-to-left paragraph direction, punctuation on the correct side and broken fonts replaced by Cairo, Tajawal, Amiri or Noto Sans Arabic. Without signing up it allows 3 fixes a day, files up to 50 MB, with no card.
