New · SlideShortcuts for Google Slides

Your PowerPoint shortcuts. Now in Google Slides.

The consultant keymap you built at the firm — align, distribute, resize, order, group — as a Chrome extension for Google Slides. Same keys, same speed, none of the menus.

7-day free trial · One subscription covers PowerPoint and Google Slides

Why it matters

You didn't forget the shortcuts. Google Slides just doesn't have them.

Move to a company that runs on Google Workspace and every slide costs you a keystroke tax: align, distribute, order, group — all buried in menus. SlideShortcuts gives you the keys back.

The part nobody else can copy: it's the exact keymap as SlideShortcuts for PowerPoint on Mac and Windows. If you already use it there, your hands don't learn anything new — the same chord aligns, distributes, sizes, orders and groups in both apps. One subscription, one muscle memory, both tools.

What you get

The whole Arrange menu, on the keys.

01 · Align & distribute

One-key alignment

Align left, right, center, top, bottom, middle — one object to the slide, several to each other, exactly like PowerPoint. Distribute horizontally and vertically.

02 · Size

Resize without the handles

Wider, narrower, taller, shorter with Shift + arrows (10% steps), or in exact 1% steps with Ctrl/⌃ + Shift + arrows — grown about the center and precisely reversible.

03 · Order & group

Stack, arrange, group

Bring forward, send backward, bring to front, send to back. Group and ungroup on PowerPoint's own keys — no more digging through Arrange.

04 · Insert & text

Build slides faster

Insert a text box that's already placed and ready to type. Center and justify text, autofit, paste unformatted — the daily moves, on the keyboard.

05 · Format & color

Format from a leader key

Fill, border and text color, border weight and dash, paint format, font size, line spacing — a leader key opens a hint palette so you never memorize a wall of chords.

06 · Selection engine

Make same size, swap, more

Make same size/width/height, copy and paste position, swap objects, select similar — selection-aware ops via the free companion add-on. Every shortcut is remappable.

Questions

Good to know.

01 I already pay for SlideShortcuts for PowerPoint. Does my key work here? +

Yes. One SlideShortcuts subscription covers both products — enter the same license email and key in the Chrome extension and you're activated. No second purchase, no separate plan.

02 Do I need a subscription to use it? +

Yes — SlideShortcuts is a paid product. Start with the 7-day free trial; when it ends, a Monthly or Annual plan keeps the shortcuts live in both PowerPoint and Google Slides.

03 Which shortcuts work in Google Slides? +

The full align, distribute, resize, order, group, insert, text and format families — the same keys as the PowerPoint product. A handful of selection-aware operations (make same size, swap, copy/paste position) run through a free companion add-on you install once. Every shortcut is remappable from the options page.

04 Does it read or change my slides? +

No. The extension runs only on Google Slides pages and simply activates the same menu commands you could click yourself when you press a shortcut. It doesn't read, transmit or store the content of your presentations. The only data it sends is the license email and key you enter to activate, used solely to verify your subscription. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

05 Mac and Windows? +

Both — it's a Chrome extension, so it works in Chrome on Mac and Windows. The shortcut card above has a toggle for each platform's modifier keys.

06 Is this an official Google product? +

No. SlideShortcuts is an independent product built and operated by 1183 Ventures LLC. It works with Google Slides but isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
