🧹 DeckMedic · Repair Shop Suite · Tool 3 of 3
Copilot, Gamma, and Beautiful.ai generate decks packed with Morph transitions, Spin entrance effects, and Float In sequences that look polished in the tool preview — then lag in Zoom screen shares, corrupt in PDF export, and break entirely in Keynote and LibreOffice. This tool strips every single animation and transition in one pass, producing a static, click-through deck that works reliably on every platform, every time.

Load and scan every slide
Opens the PPTX ZIP and reads every ppt/slides/slideN.xml file. Checks for <p:timing> (click animations) and <p:transition> (slide transitions) elements.
Remove timing trees
The entire <p:timing>...</p:timing> element is removed. This block stores the full animation sequence — entrance and exit effects, emphasis effects, motion paths, timing delays, and repeat counts. Removing it makes every slide instantly display without any click-sequencing.
Remove slide transitions
<p:transition> elements (both self-closing and wrapped forms) are removed from every slide. This eliminates Morph, Fade, Push, Wipe, Reveal, Zoom, and all other transition effects. Slides advance with a clean, instant cut.
<p:timing>
All entrance, emphasis, exit effects and motion paths
<p:transition>
Morph, Fade, Push, Wipe, Zoom, Reveal, and all other slide transitions
Timing delays
After-previous, with-previous, and timed sequences
Repeat loops
Any animation set to loop or repeat indefinitely
Motion paths
Animated objects flying across the slide
Click sequences
Multi-click build animations (bullet points appearing one-by-one)

Management Consultants
AI-generated client decks arrive with dense Morph transitions that lag during boardroom screen shares. Strip them before every delivery.
Video Producers
Recording a PowerPoint walkthrough video? Animations desync from your narration. Remove them first for a clean, frame-accurate recording.
Analysts & Finance Teams
PDFs of animated decks reorder slides or produce blank pages. Detox first, export second — every time.
Drop your .pptx into DeckMedic's Animation Detox. It opens the PPTX ZIP in your browser, scans every slide XML for p:timing elements (click-based animation sequences — Entrance, Exit, Emphasis, Motion Path effects) and p:transition elements (Morph, Fade, Push, Wipe, Zoom transitions), removes them entirely, and rebuilds the file. No PowerPoint installation required. Everything runs locally in your browser via Web Worker.
In the OOXML format, p:timing is the XML tree that stores all click-based animation sequences for a slide — Entrance effects (Fly In, Float Up, Spin), Emphasis effects (Pulse, Grow/Shrink), Exit effects, and Motion Paths. p:transition controls the visual effect when advancing from one slide to the next: Fade, Push, Wipe, Morph, Zoom, Reveal, and others. Animation Detox removes both completely, producing a static deck where every slide displays instantly without sequencing.
AI deck builders like Microsoft Copilot, Gamma.app, and Beautiful.ai add dense Morph transitions and complex multi-step animation sequences by default. These look impressive in tool previews but cause serious problems in production: lag and rendering issues during live Zoom or Teams screen shares, out-of-sync timing in recorded video exports, blank slides or reordered content in PDF conversion, and incompatibility in Keynote, Google Slides, and LibreOffice. A static deck is universally compatible and fully predictable — the right choice for client delivery, board materials, and archiving.
No. Animation Detox only deletes the p:timing and p:transition metadata blocks. All text, images, shapes, charts, tables, speaker notes, and layout are completely untouched. Every slide looks identical — objects are simply displayed instantly rather than animated into view on click.
Yes. Everything runs entirely in your browser using a Web Worker and JSZip. Your PPTX file is never transmitted to any server, never stored, and is immediately discarded when you close the tab. There are no analytics on file content. This makes it safe for board presentations, client NDA deliverables, and confidential internal decks.
