History

[edit]

The first version of SoftMaker Presentations was released in November 2007 as part of the commercial SoftMaker Office 2008 productivity suite. In May 2011, this version was released as freeware.[4]

The second release was SoftMaker Presentations 2010, released in November 2009 as part of SoftMaker Office 2010. This release added a sidebar similar to the one in Microsoft PowerPoint, video export, DirectX-accelerated animations and transitions, support for picture collections, and improved PDF export.

SoftMaker Office added support for iOS in 2022.[5]

The subscription-version of SoftMaker 2024 includes a connection to ChatGPT, to summarize texts, make improvements or generate text. It translates documents with DeepL and preserves the text formatting.[6]
