SlidePix

SlidePix opens *.slidepix.json files as visual presentations inside desktop VS Code and Cursor.

Start without writing code

1. Open the Command Palette with Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS.
2. Run SlidePix: Create Deck.
3. The editor opens untitled.slidepix.json next to the selected Explorer item, or in the workspace folder.
4. Use the left rail for slides, the center canvas for editing, the top toolbar for content/export/presentation, and the right panel for properties, layers, and animations.

Text supports Markdown, inline/display LaTeX, and fenced code. Images and videos can be chosen or dropped from the workspace Explorer and stay relatively linked by default. Use Embed all to copy them into the sibling .assets folder. Selected SlidePix elements can be copied between slides; clipboard images and plain text can also be pasted. Properties provides system-font selection and image border/crop controls. Undo and redo work from the toolbar or standard VS Code/Cursor shortcuts.

PDF/PNG export asks once before downloading the optional Chromium renderer. PPTX needs no renderer and creates native editable text, highlighted code, OfficeMath equations, shapes, tables, pictures, and embedded video. It also maps SlidePix transitions, Morph identity, and appear/fade/fly timeline steps to PowerPoint motion. The .pptx is generated directly; LibreOffice is not an export dependency. Browser-only details use the closest native PowerPoint equivalent and are listed in the export report; content is never replaced with slide or element screenshots. Fonts are referenced but not bundled. Web creates an offline index.html folder with copied media and needs no renderer download; the folder can be opened directly or hosted by a static web server. System fonts are not bundled and may fall back on another computer. Run SlidePix: Configure MCP to preview configuration for the bundled read-only slide inspection and rendering tools.

For teams using Git, run SlidePix: Configure Git Collaboration with a deck open. The explicitly confirmed, repository-local setup adds stable line endings and an ID-aware deck merge driver. Independent slide/element changes and concurrent additions merge automatically; true value, delete/edit, and order conflicts can be resolved with SlidePix: Resolve Git Conflict. Removal is available through SlidePix: Remove Git Collaboration.

If a deck opens as text, choose Reopen Editor With… → SlidePix Editor.
