SlidePix
SlidePix opens *.slidepix.json files as visual presentations inside desktop
VS Code and Cursor.
Start without writing code
- Open the Command Palette with
Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows/Linux or
Cmd+Shift+P on macOS.
- Run SlidePix: Create Deck.
- The editor opens
untitled.slidepix.json next to the selected Explorer
item, or in the workspace folder.
- 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 and PNG capture the slides inside the editor without a renderer download.
PDF pages are rasterized.
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 choose which apps get the bundled read-only
list_slides and inspect_slides 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.
For full usage, troubleshooting, development, and architecture documentation,
open the project repository's root README.md and architecture.md.
