Summary
What this business is
MagicSlides turns a prompt, a document or a video link into a slide deck. It started in January 2023 as an add-on inside Google Slides, built by Sanskar Tiwari, an Indian developer who has launched many small tools under his company IndianAppGuy Tech. It has taken $731,768 in verified revenue, most of it from a $149 annual plan. This year monthly revenue has halved, from about $19,000 in December to February to under $10,000 since July. Google began building the same feature into Slides at the end of June. The business has been listed for sale since September at $700,000.

Key findings
Product overview
A prompt or a file goes in, an editable deck comes out, inside the tools people already use.
MagicSlides started as an add-on that runs inside Google Slides: you open it from the menu, type a topic, and it fills the presentation with slides[2]. It has since grown into a web app with converters for PDFs, Word files, YouTube videos, audio and web pages, and it now also runs in Figma, ChatGPT, a Chrome extension, Telegram, Zapier, iOS and Android, and as an MCP server for AI assistants[2].
On Google’s add-on marketplace it shows 1M+ installs and a 4.7 rating from 1,484 ratings[4]. The homepage claims 10 million presentations created and 2.6 million users, and on the same page says 13.6k decks were created in the last 30 days[2]. These are the company’s figures. The first two read as running totals; the third suggests current use is much smaller.Our read

Our arithmetic on the verified data in this report. Revenue ÷ MRR uses the last 30 days; the share of all-time revenue counts the months in the chart above; the swing is the median change between complete months.
Monthly revenue held near $19,150 from December to February, slipped 9.7% in March, kept falling through June and dropped another 20.6% in July[1]. Since then it has stayed between $9,623 and $10,427.Derived

The verified record does go back to the start: only 23% of all-time revenue falls in the last twelve months[1]. What is not public is the month-by-month shape before December 2025, so we cannot say when the peak was or how high it went. The average before December 2025 was about $16,400 a month, below the $19,000 of last winter.Derived
Market: Google ships the same feature
On Jun 30, 2026 Google announced that Gemini in Google Slides can build a full, editable, multi-slide presentation from one prompt, with the rollout starting on Jun 29 for paid Workspace and Google AI plans[8]. On Oct 30 it added editing of whole decks with one prompt[8].
MagicSlides’ revenue had already fallen by more than a third between February and June, before that rollout[1]. July, the first month after it, was the largest single drop, 20.6%[1]. The timing overlaps; it does not show that Google caused the decline, and other AI tools that make slides were competing for the same users all year.Our read

Key takeaways
MagicSlides shows how far an AI add-on inside a big platform can go, and what happens to it when the platform adds the same button.
Why we scored it this way
Copy
- Build inside the editor people already use. The Google Slides add-on reached 1M+ installs. P2
- Give every input its own tool and page: PDF to slides, YouTube to slides, URL to slides. P1
- Follow users to the new front doors. It now has setup pages for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more. P3
- Run several small products and put your time behind the one that takes off. P4
Avoid
- Depending on a feature the platform owner can add. Google added it to Slides in June. §02
- Reading cumulative user counts as current use. 2.6M users next to 13.6k decks a month. §01
- Calling three flat months a recovery before the next renewal season. §10
Our predictions
Three claims with dates. We mark each one right or wrong on its date and keep the result on the page.
Track record: the predictions in our earlier reports are still open; the first checks land Dec 1, 2026. We mark each prediction right or wrong on its date and keep the result on the page.
What could prove us wrong
Things that would change our read, and how to check them.
- The decline may have bottomed out. Monthly revenue stayed between $9,623 and $10,427 from July to October.Check: November and December revenue, and whether MRR stops falling.
- Google may not be the main cause. Revenue started falling in March, three months before Gemini’s prompt-to-deck rollout. ChatGPT, Gamma and the removal of the free plan could each play a part.Check: not separable from outside. Only the founder’s churn reasons would show it.
- We may be too generous on Copyability. The founder started alone, but the company runs many products and its team size is not public.Check: not public.
- A sale could change the plan. A buyer may cut costs, raise prices or drop products.Check: the TrustMRR listing on the next review.
