Everything with
PowToon
What Is PowToon?
• PowToon is a tool to create videos. You can use it for presentations,
to create a set of instructions, and for marketing.

• It is cloud-based and you do not need to install any software to use it.

• You do need to set up an account and should review the terms and
conditions to make sure that you are happy with how your personal
information will be stored. As with any platform, choose your
marketing and notification preferences.
What should I consider
before I use PowToon?
• The free version of PowToon allows you to create a video of 3
minutes or less, and each slide can only by 10 seconds long.

• Videos that are created in the free version of PowToon cannot be


downloaded as video files. You can share a link to your video to allow
others to watch it online. You can also share the video to social media
or embed it in another online platform.
What should I consider
before I use PowToon?
• Videos created in the free version of PowToon feature a small
Created in PowToon logo in the bottom right-hand corner. Consider
this in your slide design. This can be a subtle way to demonstrate
your skills with a video creation tool!

• Videos that are created in the free version of PowToon cannot be

others to watch it online. You can also share the video to social media
or embed it in another online platform.
What should I consider
before I use PowToon?
• Plan what you want to communicate first. Make a list of one or two
points that you will make per slide, and what kinds of images will help
to communicate your ideas.

• Use images, keywords/bullet points, and narration together to


communicate ideas. Viewers would not expect to read a lot of text in
a video, and images can help them to understand and remember
what you say.
What should I consider
before I use PowToon?
• Build in time to review your video and ask others for
feedback before you finally share it with the intended
audience.
How do I use PowToon?
Be careful with the volume and
type of music that you use it can
become distracting!

If you are including narration, the


volume of the music should be
low, and you may decide that you
don’t need music at all.

For the best results, use a microphone when adding narration.


How do I use PowToon?
Like PowerPoint, create a series
of slides with transitions between
them. Add text, images, and
narration to the slide and control
when these appear and
disappear using the timeline
below the slide. Everything is
controlled by drag & drop, and is
auto-saved as you go with an
undo button of course!
How do I use PowToon?
Add text, props, characters, and
shapes to your slide. Some props
and characters are already
animated. You can also add your
own images and logos.

Select items on the slide to


change their position, size, or
color.
