Markdown‑driven slides with live coding and instant preview
Slidev lets developers author presentation decks in Markdown, add live code, Vue components, LaTeX, and diagrams, then preview instantly with Vite‑powered hot reload.
Slidev is a developer‑centric tool for building presentation decks directly from Markdown. By leveraging Vue 3, Vite, and UnoCSS, it transforms plain text into interactive slides that support syntax‑highlighted code blocks, live coding sessions, LaTeX equations, Mermaid diagrams, and on‑the‑fly Vue components.
Write your content in any editor, run npm init slidev, and see changes instantly thanks to Vite’s fast hot‑module replacement. Slides can be presented in a dedicated presenter mode, recorded with built‑in camera support, or exported to PDF, PNG, and PPTX formats. The themable architecture lets you share or install custom themes via npm, and the platform remains fully hackable through Vite plugins, Vue components, or any npm package. Deploy locally, host on a static site, or run in the browser via the online editor at sli.dev/new.
Ideal for technical talks, workshops, and internal training where code, diagrams, and live interaction are essential. The open‑source MIT‑licensed project integrates smoothly into modern JavaScript toolchains while keeping the authoring experience lightweight and markdown‑first.
When teams consider Slidev, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Conference technical talk
Deliver polished slides with embedded live code snippets and interactive Vue demos.
Hands‑on workshop
Allow participants to modify slide content on the fly and see instant updates.
Product demo recording
Record the presentation with camera view and export to video or PDF for sharing.
Internal training portal
Convert markdown documentation into slide decks for consistent, reusable training material.
Basic Vue knowledge helps for advanced customizations, but most features work with plain Markdown.
Yes, Slidev can export decks as PPTX files alongside PDF and PNG formats.
An online editor is available at sli.dev/new for quick prototyping without local installation.
Performance remains fast thanks to Vite’s on‑demand loading, though very large decks may benefit from modularizing content.
Slidev is released under the MIT license.
