A Tome alternative: Reveal.js decks you can export and keep
Tome’s presentation product was discontinued in 2025, and tome.app returns an HTTP 404 — “The deployment could not be found on Vercel” — rechecked 1 Oct 2026. There is nothing left to price against, so this page is not a bake-off. It is a replacement page. AI Slide Generator is a Reveal.js editor: Free is unlimited manual decks with PDF, PPTX, and HTML export and no credit card; AI is optional and lives on Pro and Unlimited. The thing you finish with is an HTML file you host — not a deck rented from a player that can be switched off.
Why people still search for a Tome alternative
A year after the shutdown the query has not gone away, and the people typing it want three different things:
- Dead share links. Tome decks lived at a URL their servers answered. When the host went, the links went with it — including the ones already pasted into emails, proposals, and course pages. Nothing on this page brings those back, and any tool claiming it can is selling you something.
- They want the AI-drafted narrative back. Tome’s pitch was that you typed a topic and got a story with a shape, not a grid of bullet slides. That job still exists; several living products do it.
- They want an artefact that survives the vendor. This is the new one, and it is the reason this page exists. Losing a deck library to a product decision teaches a specific lesson: the file should be yours, not a row in someone’s database.
What AI Slide Generator is
AI Slide Generator builds Reveal.js decks. Free: unlimited manual presentations, all templates, export PDF, PPTX, and HTML, no credit card, no AI. Pro $15/month: 100 AI generations, the Alie assistant, AI images. Unlimited $39/month: unlimited AI generations and API access. Yearly billing is 20% off and shown separately on pricing (Pro $12/month billed $144/year; Unlimited $31.20/month billed $374.40/year) — the list prices are the monthly ones.
We are not a hosted narrative platform. There is no seat count, no viewer analytics, and no share-link product here. We give you an editor and a file you own.

Comparison (honest)
| Tome | AI Slide Generator | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Discontinued. The presentation product was shut down in 2025; tome.app returns HTTP 404 as of 1 Oct 2026. | Live. |
| What it was / is | A hosted, prompt-first narrative deck tool. You described a topic and got a scrolling card-based web story you shared as a URL. | Standalone Reveal.js editor; AI optional. |
| Free plan | N/A — nothing to sign up for. | Yes, and it has no AI. Unlimited manual decks, no slide cap, no card. |
| Paid plans | N/A. No live SKU and no current price. We are deliberately not reprinting archived Tome figures as if you could still buy them. | Pro $15/mo (100 AI generations). Unlimited $39/mo (unlimited AI + API). Yearly 20% off, priced separately. No Team plan. |
| Export | Whatever you exported before the shutdown is what you still have. The app is gone, so no new export is possible. | PDF, PPTX, and HTML, all on Free. |
| Reveal.js | No. | Yes. |
| Offline HTML you host | No — the deck was served from their player, which is exactly why the links died. | Yes. Put it on Pages, Netlify, or an intranet and present without our servers. |
Tome status checked first-party: tome.app and its pricing path both return HTTP 404 (“The deployment could not be found on Vercel.”), rechecked 1 Oct 2026. Because there is no live pricing page to read, there are no Tome dollars anywhere on this page — we do not reprint historical tiers from archives or comparison roundups as though they were current. Our prices come from aislidegenerator.ai/pricing.
What Tome did well, while it existed
It was prompt-first before that was normal. You typed what the deck was about and got a draft with a structure. Plenty of tools do that now; Tome was early, and it shaped what people expect from the category.
It made a web story, not a slide grid. The output read like a designed page you moved through, not sixteen-by-nine rectangles with bullets. For a pitch or a portfolio that difference was the whole appeal.
Sharing was a URL. No attachment, no export step, no font problems on someone else’s laptop. It looked right everywhere because it was rendered from one place. That was a genuine strength — and the same property that made every shared link a dependency on the company continuing to exist.
Where we are different
The output is an exportable file. Reveal.js HTML with your CSS, downloadable, commitable to git, servable from your own domain. You can present it from a laptop with the network off. This is the one property Tome could not have had, given what it was.
Free is an unlimited manual editor. No deck quota, no slide cap, three export formats, no credit card. It has no AI — that is the trade, and we will not dress it up as free AI generation.
AI is a paid add-on, not the product. Pro is $15/month for 100 AI generations; Unlimited is $39/month with no cap. The editor works fully without either.
We are worse than Gamma at “pretty web story in one prompt.” That should be said plainly rather than buried. If what you miss about Tome is typing one sentence and getting a polished, hosted, card-based narrative, Gamma is the closest living product to that experience and we are not going to pretend a Reveal.js editor feels the same. We ask more of you up front and hand you a file at the end.
No Team plan. No Team, no Enterprise, no SSO, no seats. Individual plans only.
Who should use something else
- Gamma — if you want the hosted, card-based, prompt-to-web-story shape Tome had. This is the closest living cousin and the first place most Tome refugees should look.
- Presentations.ai — if you want prompt-to-deck with a brand kit and are comfortable with AI metered in credits per billing cycle.
- Pitch — if the real requirement is a team editing the same deck in real time, with seats and roles.
Who should try AI Slide Generator
- You just lost a deck library to a shutdown and want the next one to be files.
- You want a self-hostable Reveal.js HTML deck with CSS you control.
- You present in a browser — workshops, classes, meetups, conference talks.
- You want an unlimited manual editor for $0, with no slide cap and no card.
- You want AI drafting to be a line item you can switch off, not the whole tool.
Switching from a product that is already gone
There is no Tome importer here, and we cannot restore dead Tome workspaces or repair Tome share links. That is not a roadmap item — the host that served them no longer answers, so the data is not ours to reach. The honest path is short:
- Gather whatever you exported while Tome was up: PDFs, PPTX files, even screenshots. That is your content. Put it somewhere you control before you do anything else.
- Rebuild the deck here from that material. Text and images carry over by hand; layout does not, and a card-based web story will not land as a 16:9 deck without editing.
- Export the HTML the same day and put it in git, or on a static host you own. Do this on day one rather than day four hundred. The entire lesson of the Tome shutdown is that the export you never took is the one you needed.
FAQ
Is Tome still a presentation tool?
No. The presentation product was discontinued in 2025, and as of our recheck on 1 Oct 2026 tome.app itself returns an HTTP 404 — the page reads "The deployment could not be found on Vercel." Their pricing path returns the same. The company has since pivoted to Lightfield, an AI-native CRM — that is not a slide product, so it is not a Tome replacement and we do not compare against it here. There is no live plan to sign up for and no current SKU to compare against. If you are reading a comparison article that still lists Tome tiers, that article is describing a product that is no longer being sold.
What were Tome’s prices?
We are not publishing them. Any number we printed here would be a figure lifted from an archive or a third-party roundup and presented next to live prices, which reads as a current comparison whether or not we label it. Since the product is gone, the historical price is not a decision input for anyone — what matters is what you move to. Our own prices are on our pricing page and they are the only dollars on this page.
Are you the new Tome?
No, and we are not going to claim the slot. Tome was a hosted narrative web deck: prompt-first, card-based, presented and shared from a URL they served. We are a Reveal.js editor whose finished output is an HTML file you host. If what you loved about Tome was the hosted, prompt-to-pretty-web-story shape, Gamma is the closer living cousin and you should look at it first. If what you want is an artefact that outlives whoever built the editor, that is the thing we actually do.
Can you import my Tome workspaces or decks?
No. There is no Tome importer here, and we cannot restore a dead Tome workspace or repair a Tome share link — nobody can, because the host that served them is gone. If you still have exported PDFs, PPTX files, or even screenshots, keep them; those are your content and you can rebuild from them. If you have nothing but tome.app links, the content is not recoverable through us.
Do you sell a Team plan?
No. We do not sell Team, Enterprise, or SSO, and there is no seat-based billing here. Free is unlimited manual decks with no credit card; Pro and Unlimited are individual plans that add AI generation. If you need seats, shared workspaces, or procurement, we are not the replacement — Pitch and Gamma run that lane and we do not.
What happens to my decks if you shut down?
Export the HTML. That is the honest answer and it is the whole argument of this page: a Reveal.js bundle is a file with your CSS in it, and it presents from a laptop, an intranet, or a static host without calling our servers. We are not promising we will outlive every competitor. We are saying the artefact does not depend on us being here, which is precisely what people who lost Tome decks are now shopping for.
