PowerPoint to Form · Your App Cloud
Turn PowerPoint slides into an online form
Upload the deck that asks your audience something: a feedback slide, a sign-up slide, or a template people fill in and email back. Mark the slides that ask, then put into words what you used to explain from the stage.
From questions put to a room to answers you can count.
Pick out the slides that ask something, write down what you used to settle on the spot, then answer the form the way your audience will: on a phone, as a session ends.
01
Mark the slides that ask something
Attach the deck with the upload button above. Switch to Slide Sorter view to see every slide at once, then list in the prompt the numbers of the slides that ask a question, collect sign-up details or serve as a template to complete. Say that the rest are there to present.
02
Settle what you decided on the spot
In a room, you tell people whether to pick one option or several, whether to write their name, and when to hand answers in. Put each of those rules in the prompt beside its question, along with who reads the answers and the date the form closes.
03
Answer it on a phone, against the clock
Set a timer for the minutes you leave at the end of a session and answer every question on a phone. Submit, then sign in as a reviewer and find that response. If the timer ran out first, cut questions before anyone else sees the form.
Where each question on your slides goes.
Read across each row: something in your deck, what it can become in the form, and how to confirm it. The slide text is invented, from a partner workshop day that Atlas Tech runs in Austin, Texas.
| On your slides | In the online form | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| A question slide with its options as bullets: 'Which topic should we cover next?' above Pricing, Onboarding and Integrations | A choice question worded from the slide title, with one option per bullet | Bullets don't say how many may be picked; you said that to the room. State it for every question, and add Other with a short text answer wherever the audience used to call out their own. |
| A row of numbered boxes from 0 to 10 under 'How likely are you to recommend this workshop to a colleague?' | A rating question with eleven points and the words printed under each end | Count the boxes on the slide rather than trusting the heading. Choose 0 in a test and confirm the response stores 0, not a blank. |
| A table of statements such as 'The pace was right' and 'The examples fit my work', with Strongly disagree to Strongly agree across the top | One rating per statement, each using the same five labels in the same order | Decide whether a statement may be left unanswered. Skip one in a test, and check that the form reacts the way you decided and still saves the rest. |
| A template slide people complete and email back, with prompts such as '[Project name]', 'Owner:' and 'Click to add text' | One question per prompt, and each returned slide becoming a saved response instead of an attachment | Open two slides people sent back last time. Wherever someone typed over a prompt, deleted a box or added a box of their own, the question needs clearer wording or is missing. |
| The same feedback slide pasted into each session's deck with only the heading changed, such as 'Session 3: Pricing basics, Priya Shah' | One form with a question that lists every session and its speaker | Copy the session names from the printed program, not from the decks, which drift apart. Submit one test answer per session and confirm each is filed under the right one. |
| An RSVP slide closing the webinar: 'Partner Summit, May 14, Austin. Name, company, dietary needs. Reply by April 30' | Registration questions, a closing date and the message people see once it has passed | Ask for the form to stop taking answers after April 30. Before sharing, set the date to yesterday in a test and confirm the closed message appears where Submit was. |
| Discussion prompts such as 'Discuss in pairs: what slowed your last rollout?' and a Parking lot slide for questions saved for later | An optional comment question, or nothing if the discussion stays in the room | A slide ending in a question mark isn't always a form question. List the prompts that deserve a written answer, and confirm the preview holds no others. |
| Last year's results slide: a bar chart of ratings and 'You told us: more hands-on time' | A summary for signed-in staff with counts per option and each rating's average | Enter ten test responses whose totals you know and compare the summary with your own count. From a signed-out browser, confirm the form opens and the summary doesn't. |
| A 'Scan to give feedback' slide whose QR code points to last year's survey | The published form's address, and a new QR code you make from it for the same slide | The code on the slide is a picture of the old link. Replace it with your new code, show the slide on the big screen and scan it from the back row. Close the old survey so nobody answers in two places. |
A slide can ask a question. It can't keep the answer.
In a session, answers arrive as raised hands, sticky notes, a chat message or a deck emailed back with slide 3 filled in. None of it ends up in one list beside the session it came from. The form needs the decisions you made on the spot written down: who may answer, what is required and when it closes.
Upload a clean copy of the deck
Workshop decks collect answers as they go: ideas typed onto a brainstorm slide, votes tallied in a text box, a returned template with a colleague's figures in it. Upload the version from before the session. Filled-in slides put other people's names and opinions into the upload, and an answer can read as part of the question.
Rules you said instead of printing
'Pick your top two.' 'You can skip this one.' 'Nobody sees your name.' Rules like these usually live in what the presenter says, not on the slide. Write each one into the prompt next to its question, so the form can state it for people who never heard the talk.
Slide shorthand, written out
Slide text is short on purpose: 'Pace?', 'Venue 1–5', 'Next topic'. That works while a presenter fills in the rest. On a form, each question has to stand on its own, so write the full sentence, such as 'How was the pace of today's sessions?'
Wording locked inside a picture
A scale pasted in as a screenshot, options drawn only as icons, or a question copied from another tool as an image: in each, the wording sits inside a picture rather than a text box. Type out every question and option that sits in one, then read the preview against the slide word for word.
Decks keep changing after the upload
An upload is a snapshot. When you reword a question for next month's session, the form won't follow the slide. Keep one list of the current questions, and change the app and the deck together.
An illustrative starting point
A form your slides point to, not a deck people fill in.
Questions taken from the slides you mark, ratings on the scale each slide drew, answers filed by session, and a summary your staff can check.
Questions from the slides you mark
Ask for one question for each question slide or template prompt you list, written in full rather than in slide shorthand, with options from its bullets. Keep the deck open beside the preview and tick off each slide as you find its question.
Ratings with every point the slide drew
Ask for a 0 to 10 row, five stars, or Strongly disagree to Strongly agree, each with the words printed at its ends. Choose the lowest and the highest point in a test and read what the saved response holds.
Answers filed by session
Ask for each response to be saved with the session, date or deck it answers, so comments on Session 3 don't mix with Session 1. Saving responses and signing reviewers in need a backend.
A confirmation and a reminder for registrants
The app can email each person who answers the RSVP form the details the slide listed: the date, the venue and what to bring. It can then send a reminder on a schedule you set, such as the day before. Send both to your own inbox first.
A summary instead of a results slide
Ask for counts per option and average ratings, shown only to signed-in staff, in place of the chart you rebuilt by hand for next year's opening slide. Decide whether each speaker sees only their own session, then sign in as one to check.

Good questions.
Can people answer while I'm still presenting?
Yes, if the form loads in the room. It is published at a web address and opens in a browser, including on phones. Leave the slide with its address or QR code up for a few minutes, and test the venue's Wi-Fi and cell signal beforehand, because a form that won't load collects nothing.
Can I tell people their answers are anonymous?
Only once you have checked what anonymous means for this form. Leave out name and email questions, don't require sign-in, and word open questions so they don't invite names. Then open a saved test response and look at everything it holds. Say on the form what you collect, and promise nothing you haven't checked.
Can I show the results on screen at the end of the session?
Ask for a summary screen and decide who may open it: staff who sign in, or anyone holding the link while the session runs. Submit a few test answers, compare the counts with your own, and clear the tests out before the room answers. If anyone with the link may open it, try the link signed out after the session and see what it still shows. For charts of your own, you can export your app's data.
My slides are a quiz with right answers. Is this the right guide?
A form collects answers; it doesn't mark them. When each question has a correct answer and people should see a score or move through lessons, start from the PowerPoint to Training App guide instead. The feedback and sign-up slides at the end of a course still belong here.
What happens to earlier answers if I reword a question?
The form won't follow edits to the deck, so change the wording in the app as well. Then decide what earlier answers mean under the new wording: keep them with a note of the date it changed, or start a fresh question so old and new results aren't added together.
Who can read the answers?
Each submission can be saved as a response, which needs a backend. Name the people who read them, such as the organizer and each session's speaker, and write down what each may open as the access you describe for each collection. Then sign in as a speaker with a test account and check whose answers appear.
Can a model sort hundreds of written comments?
An app can use a Language model to suggest themes across the answers to an open question, when asked or on a schedule you set. Read a sample of the comments under each theme yourself, and check that every theme links to the comments it came from. Model usage is metered separately.
Which plan does a form built from slides need?
Keeping answers, reviewer sign-in, confirmation emails, reminders and model help all run on a backend, so the form is an app with data, and putting it live needs a paid plan. A page announcing the workshop day would be a one-page site. The pricing page lists current plans.
Explore Pricing for plans, included capabilities, and usage details.
Keep exploring.
