Here are 50 of the best InDesign presentation templates I could find, free and paid. The first five are free downloads. For the rest, the price and the licence sit on the product page that each name links to, so you can check both before you commit to anything.
Worth knowing before you start clicking: a lot of these are multi-page InDesign layouts that their marketplace sells as a proposal, a business plan or a brochure. That's not a catch. A landscape proposal layout is a deck in all but name, and I've grouped everything by style so you can jump straight to whatever fits your story.

Picking the right template for your deck
Start with the structure, not the cover. The list splits into five groups: five free templates at the top, then 15 modern, 10 colourful, 10 minimalist and 10 simple layouts. Choose the group that matches the tone of your deck, then look at how the pages are actually built.
Page count matters more than people expect. Some of these are big documents. "Gray Guarantee" at number 50 runs 40 pages, and "Simplicity above all" at number 10 runs 28. A 40-page business-plan layout is not a 10-slide pitch until you have deleted 30 pages. If your story is short, start from a short template.
Two things to check on the product page before you customise anything: which files are in the download, and what the licence covers. You want an IDML in there if your InDesign is not the newest version. Redoing a deck on a template you can't use for the job is no fun.
How do you open and edit an InDesign template?
Open the file, replace the placeholder content, and restyle through the styles panels instead of frame by frame. Here's the routine:
- Unzip the download and install any fonts the vendor lists. Missing fonts are the number one reason a template looks wrong the first time you open it.
- Open the INDD file. If your InDesign is a few versions behind, open the IDML instead: INDD only opens in the version that created it or a newer one. IDML goes back to InDesign CS4. Adobe explains the boundary in its note on opening documents in previous versions.
- Set View > Display Performance > High Quality Display, so you are judging the design and not a low-resolution preview.
- Press W to leave preview mode. Guides, margins and frame edges appear.
- Swap the content. Double-click a text frame to edit the copy, and drag your own picture onto a placed image frame to replace it.
- Restyle from the Paragraph Styles and Character Styles panels. Change a style once and every element using it follows. Our guide to InDesign paragraph styles goes deeper if that part is new to you.
Can you present straight from InDesign?
Yes. Press Shift+W and InDesign goes full screen: panels, guides and frame edges disappear, and the spread sits on a black background. Shift+W or Esc gets you back out.
- W, G and B switch the background to white, grey or black.
- Arrow keys move you through the spreads. Click to advance, Shift-click to go back.
- You can't edit while you're in there. Exit, fix it, go back in.
- Nothing interactive runs. No buttons, no video, no animation, as David Blatner spells out in his CreativePro write-up on Presentation Mode.
That last one is the honest reason a live talk usually belongs in PowerPoint or Google Slides, while InDesign owns the printed deck and the leave-behind. If you've already built the thing in InDesign and someone now wants slides, there's a quick way to get from InDesign to PowerPoint. Shift+W is also one of the handful of shortcuts worth memorising, and our InDesign keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet has the rest.
What happens when you export to PDF?
It depends on which PDF you pick. File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive) keeps buttons, multimedia, hyperlinks, bookmarks and page transitions. Adobe PDF (Print) keeps only bookmarks and hyperlinks, though it can include the static appearance of interactive items.
Neither one keeps animation. Animation is not part of the PDF specification, so an animated object arrives frozen in Acrobat. If the movement is the point, use Publish Online instead of exporting a PDF.
Where to look if none of these fit
Scroll back to the search bar at the top of this page and try a word or two there. Search the document type rather than "presentation" if what you actually need is a proposal, a brochure or a report. A lot of these layouts are sold by their marketplace as a proposal or a business plan rather than a deck. Adobe Stock and Envato Elements both carry far more than fits in one list, and our roundup of InDesign templates by category is the other place to start.
Conclusion
That's the list. I tried to keep it varied on colour, shape and structure, so whatever you're pitching, something here should be close enough to build on.
One last thing. If the finished deck has to go out in more than one language, don't rebuild it by hand. Our walkthrough of translating an InDesign file shows how to get the text out and back in with the layout intact.
If you are looking into creating another type of InDesign document - make sure you head to our InDesign templates page.
All the best,
Stefano
