Prezi vs. PowerPoint: Which Will Come Out on Top?

Prezi Strengths▪ The new presentation platform is less linear and

more free-flowing, which excites people significantly.  ▪ For many, the standard, cheesy transitions

available in PowerPoint limited the creativity of their presentations.▪ Prezi uses paths, where a free-moving “camera”

follows a set of connected frames, instead of slides.

Prezi vs. PowerPoint: Which Will Come Out on Top?

Prezi Flaws▪ Until recently, Prezi users were not able to insert

new stops along the pathway easily.  When a user took a screenshot, Prezi sent the frame to the end of the presentation, requiring the user to painstakingly drag the frame all the way back to the necessary position within the storyboard.  ▪ Lastly, if the user abuses Prezi’s functionality,

including the in-and-out zooming feature, audiences may become nauseated rather than captivated.

PowerPoint Strengths▪ Theme customization is much easier in

PowerPoint.  ▪ Sound and video can also be added to

PowerPoint much more easily.  ▪ Moreover, PowerPoint allows the user to add

slides in a specific point simply with the click of a button.

So What’s the Verdict?Prezi comes out on top!▪ In summary, both PowerPoint and Prezi are effective tools for

communicating an idea.  ▪ Both, however, have the possibility of being overused and

mismanaged.  ▪ When deciding whether to use a Prezi or PowerPoint for your

next presentation, take into context the audience and its tastes.  ▪ However, Prezi is the overall winner in this battle. The

freedom and spatial creativity that Prezi allows for cannot be matched by PowerPoint, and these elements, when used wisely, will continue to fascinate audiences around the world.
