Turn plain text into diagrams, infographics, and presentation-ready visuals.
Paste or import your text and Napkin generates infographics, diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, and data charts that fit your content.
Napkin Slides collaborates with you to turn ideas into complete, ready-to-present decks rather than static images.
Adjust colors, fonts, layouts, and icons, reshape individual elements, and match your brand — nothing is locked after generation.
Export visuals as PPT, PNG, PDF, or SVG and drop them into PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote, Notion, or any tool you already use.
A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
