a thinkjoin studio

Decks, documents and PDFs. One easy place.

Text Steve or call him and ask for a deck: it lands here finished, with every word still editable. Or start from a blank page and build it yourself. Either way you send a real PDF or a PowerPoint that still edits.

Why it is different

No more bouncing between apps.

A deck used to mean a word processor, a slide app, an image generator and a PDF editor, and a lot of copying between them. thinkdeck puts all of it on one page.

The old way

Five apps and a lot of back and forth.

  1. Write it in Word or Google Docs.
  2. Lay it out in PowerPoint or Keynote, one text box at a time.
  3. Make the pictures in a separate AI image generator, download them, place them, resize them.
  4. Export the PDF, spot a typo, open Acrobat to patch it.
  5. Change one thing and start the whole round trip again.
With thinkdeck

One place, start to send.

  • The words, the layout, the art and the PDF live on one page.
  • Steve writes, designs and paints the first draft, or you start from a blank page.
  • Open any PDF, Word or PowerPoint file and edit its words right here.
  • New pictures are painted straight into the layout, no downloads.
  • Change a word, export again. A real PDF or a PowerPoint that still edits.

Two ways to start

Automatic, or all by hand.

Let Steve make the whole thing from one message, or make it yourself from scratch. Both end up in the same studio, fully editable.

Way one · Steve makes it

Ask for it. Get a finished deck.

Text Steve or call him and say what you need. He writes the copy, lays out every page, paints the art and checks each page before it reaches you. It opens here, ready to edit.

Make me a 10-page launch deck for our lemonade stand. Bright and fun.
SteveOn it: writing, laying out and painting the art now. I'll send the link the moment it's ready.

Way two · You make it

Start blank. Build it your way.

Open a blank page in any of 108 real sizes, then add text, shapes, your own pictures or new art. Pick a layout and a look, and Steve is one tap away when you want a hand.

What you can do

Every function, right on the page.

Whoever made the first draft, Steve or you, the deck opens here as a real document: every line its own layer, every picture its own frame. This is what you can do with it.

01

Every word, its own layer.

Click any line and type. Each text box keeps its own face, weight, size and colour, so the deck stays exactly as designed while you change it. Move it, resize it, align it, lock it.

  • The whole Google Fonts library, free everywhere
  • Bold, italic, underline, colour and alignment
  • Undo and redo every step

02

Open any PDF. Edit it like it's yours.

This is the Acrobat part. Bring in a PDF, a Word file or a PowerPoint and thinkdeck takes it apart: every line becomes a live text box in its own font, sitting on the original page. Fix the typo, change the price, send it again.

Scanned pages and picture-only PDFs stay pictures.

03

New art, painted into the page.

No more downloading from one app and placing in another. Pick a look and Steve paints a new picture for the page, right in the layout. Circle part of a picture to change only that part, or swap in your own.

  • New art in a chosen look
  • Circle-edit one region
  • Cut-outs and your own pictures

04

A whole new look in one tap.

Pick a type family and a palette and see each one as a real little slide before you choose. Every page restyles at once, and your words stay where they are.

05

Words that shine.

Give a headline a real finish: chrome, gold or holo fills, a bend or a warp, or bake it into 3D and 4D lettering, with each style shown as a picture of what it makes. Fills and warps stay live text; a 3D bake turns the words into art, and Undo brings them back.

Steve rides along in the deck.

Ask him to rewrite a page, change the tone or sharpen the headlines, and the new words land in the same boxes. Show him the page you are on and ask what to fix.

The whole studio, in your pocket.

Not a viewer: the same studio, laid out for a thumb. Fix a slide in the cab, then send it.
