This website has about 3,000+ templates that you can search for by tags, colors, categories, or top-rated. You can
download the files in ZIP format, and there is no registration required. Just be careful if you get thrown over to
their sister site, Slide Model, because those are not free presentations.
ALLPPT (https://www.free-powerpoint-templates-design.com/free-powerpoint-templates-design/)
This website has some really nice-looking templates in Widescreen or Standard format. There aren’t very many,
but the ones they do have are of high quality. You can download them without any registration.
TemplatesWise (https://www.templateswise.com/)
TemplatesWise has a large collection of templates made from photographs, abstract graphics, and clip art.
Categories include business, finance, nature, and travel. Besides templates, the site offers free charts, diagrams,
icons, and music loops. Basically, anything needed for a great PowerPoint presentation
can be found here.
PoweredTemplates (https://poweredtemplate.com/free-ppt-powerpoint-templates.html)
This site has one category with about 250+ free templates. Again, it’s not a lot of templates, but they are of good
quality. All the other templates on the site cost money. If you want to download the template, you either have to
register or you have to give the site a Facebook like or a tweet.
PresentationLoad (https://www.presentationload.com/free-powerpoint-templates/)
This website has only about 18 free templates, but they are really professional-looking templates, and that’s why
I’ve included them in the list. There are a lot of sites out there with lots of templates, but most of the templates
are terrible looking. In order to download, you have to add the item to your cart and then register for an account.
KingSoft Office (https://www.wps.com/)
KingSoft Office has an office suite that is similar to Microsoft Office, and its website has a section with free
PowerPoint templates. The templates are pretty basic, but they have some specific holiday categories like
Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, New Year's, etc. that you don’t see on other sites.
SlideGeeks (https://www.slidegeeks.com/free-downloads)
This website has about 400 free templates you can download, and most of them are very unique. Click on the little
download icon and then register in order to complete the download.
Hopefully, browsing these sites should give you enough templates to choose from for your presentation.
Actually, with so many choices, you might end up wasting more time searching for the perfect template rather
than creating one!
