Quick Presenter is a lightweight cross-platform presenter tool for PDF slide decks, built for academic talks, research presentations, technical conferences, and online presentations over tools such as Zoom and Google Meet. Quick Presenter focuses on one job: open a PDF slide deck and help the speaker present it reliably. It is not a slide editor, a deck authoring tool, or a document management app.

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Quick Presenter because I wanted a simple, lightweight way to present PDF slide decks without relying on a full presentation suite. Quick Presenter is a free and open-source presenter for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It focuses on the essentials: smooth PDF presentation, presenter controls, and a clean cross-platform experience. The project is still evolving, and I’d really appreciate your feedback — especially from people who regularly present technical talks, conference sessions, or PDF-based slide decks. If you find it useful, I’d also love to hear what features you’d like to see next. Thanks for checking it out!

Quick Presenter v1.4.0 is out! 🎉

Quick Presenter is a lightweight, open-source app for presenting PDF slides on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

This release makes live presentations smoother and more reliable:

Built for a simple workflow: export your slides to PDF, open them, and present.
