VERDICT

Should I use MagicSlides?

Create stunning AI presentations in seconds — free, no design skills needed, using AI PPT Maker. Trusted by 2.3M+ users. Supports 136+ languages. - magicslides.app

Depends. Buy only if the free tier covers low-stakes, non-confidential decks; $29/mo is fair for solo Google Slides users. Skip it for client, financial, or sensitive content — an alleged 2.3M-record leak and absent security page make the vendor risk real.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~50 public sources; breach reports are third-party threat-intel allegations, not company-confirmed.
