With its powerful tools and dazzling effects, Keynote makes it easy to create stunning and memorable presentations, and comes included with most Apple devices. Use Apple Pencil on your iPad to create diagrams or illustrations that bring your slides to life. And with real‑time collaboration, your team can work together, whether they're on Mac, iPad, iPhone, or using a PC.
Keynote for Mac allows you to play a slideshow within a window, instead of full screen, so you can access other apps and files while you present. Captions and titles stick with objects. Easily add text to images, videos, and shapes.
Keynote sets the stage for an impressive presentation. A simple, intuitive interface puts important tools front and center, so everyone on your team can easily add beautiful charts, edit photos, and incorporate cinematic effects. And Rehearse Mode lets you practice on the go, with the current or next slide, notes, and clock — all in one view.
Start with a gorgeous layout.
Choose from over 30 eye‑catching themes that instantly give your presentation a professional look. Or create your own slide designs, background images, and page‑by‑page customization.
Create next-level animations.
Add drama to your presentation with more than 30 cinematic transitions and effects. Make your words pop by adding textures, color gradients, and even photos — with just a tap. And animate objects along a path using Apple Pencil or your finger on your iPhone or iPad.
Make every slide spectacular.
Choose from over 700 Apple-designed shapes, galleries, math equations, and charts. Take a photo or scan a document with your iPhone, and Continuity Camera can send it straight to Keynote on your Mac.

Like a pro.
Keynote for Mac allows you to play a slideshow within a window, instead of full screen, so you can access other apps and files while you present.
You don't work in one place on just one device. The same goes for Keynote. Work seamlessly across all your Apple devices. The slides you create using a Mac or iPad will look the same on an iPhone or web browser — and vice versa.
You can also work on presentations stored on iCloud or Box using a PC.
Work together in the same presentation, from across town or across the world. You can see your team's edits as they make them — and they can watch as you make yours, too. Just select a name on the collaborator list to jump to anyone's cursor.
Add color, illustrations, and handwritten comments for more beautiful presentations with Apple Pencil on your iPad.
Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft PowerPoint? Keynote makes it a great working relationship. You can save Keynote documents as PowerPoint files. Or import and edit PowerPoint documents right in Keynote.

Keynote is a presentation software application made by Apple for its Mac OS Xoperating system.
History[change | change source]
Keynote was a software program that Steve Jobs, the chief executive officer of Apple used for his own presentations only. It was later sold to everyone as Keynote 1.0, competing against other presentation software, especially Microsoft PowerPoint. Unlike PowerPoint, Keynote can use all image types, and the design uses more pictures, making it easier to use. Because Keynote uses Mac OS X's built-in graphics technologies, it can produce slides with many graphics very easily.
