How to Catch PowerPoint Mistakes Before They Ruin Your Big Presentation

You rehearsed your pitch, memorized your key talking points, and double-checked your data. But as you click to the third slide, the investor frowns. Your bullet points jump around. The logo’s off-center. And wait—is that Comic Sans?

Formatting issues can sabotage even the best ideas. In 2025, with AI-generated decks and tighter deadlines, one misplaced font or alignment error can shatter credibility. That’s why more consultants, students, and remote teams are turning to slidecheck—the ultra-fast PowerPoint QA tool that scans your deck in under 60 seconds and flags issues before your audience does.

Why Formatting Still Matters in the AI Era

With generative tools now drafting entire presentations in seconds, it’s easy to assume design doesn’t matter. But slide aesthetics signal attention to detail. When slides look rushed or inconsistent, clients subconsciously question your professionalism—even if your content is solid.

A recent McKinsey report found that 83% of senior decision-makers associate visual polish with competence. Another survey from Deloitte showed that 58% of lost RFPs involved presentation errors, including misaligned logos, font inconsistencies, and typos.

In short: AI can write your slides, but only a tool like slidecheck can make sure they’re presentation-ready.

Case Study: How One Freelancer Landed a $40K Retainer

Ayaka K., a Tokyo-based freelance designer, used slidecheck before sending her final pitch deck to a potential client. “I was tired and almost hit send,” she says. “But I uploaded it to slidecheck just in case.” The tool flagged three font mismatches, a missing slide number, and a box that was 5px off-center. “It would’ve looked amateur,” she says. She fixed the issues, sent the deck, and closed a retainer deal that paid 40x what slidecheck cost.

She now runs every client presentation through it—twice.
