Type your closing line, pick a style that suits your deck and save a short moving end slide that plays itself while you take questions.

Ready-made end slides to download

Download one as a PNG for your last slide, or personalise it with your own words and save an MP4 or GIF that moves.

A thank you slide is the last slide of a presentation: a short “Thank you”, often with “Any questions?” and your contact details, that stays on screen while the room claps and the questions start. Here you make it as a few seconds of gentle animation instead of a static picture, then insert the file on the final slide of your deck.

Choose a presentation template, change the words, keep the Slide 16:9 shape and press Export video. You get an MP4 that PowerPoint, Keynote and Google Slides accept, a silent looping GIF, or a PNG still for decks that must not move. It is all made in your browser, so a company logo or an unreleased product name never leaves your laptop.

Most thank you slide searches end at a gallery of flat images. If you want the moving version but would rather build it inside PowerPoint itself, the guide to animating a thank you slide in PowerPoint shows the built-in way first.

How to make an animated thank you slide

  1. Pick a presentation design

    Open Templates and choose one of the end slide designs. Format starts on Slide 16:9, the same 16:9 shape as a standard slide.

    The template picker on Presentation end slides with Slide 16:9 selected, showing end-slide designs such as Quiet full stop, Navy boardroom, Violet to coral and Any questions? (night) (enlarge image)

  2. Write the closing line

    In Text, type “Thank you”, “Thank you, any questions?” or your own line, plus a name, a team or an email address if you want one on screen.

    The Quiet full stop end slide in the editor: “Thank you for listening.” in large serif type with “The design team” above and “Questions welcome” below, the Text panel with a From field, and a single 6-second scene in the strip (enlarge image)

    An end slide in the editor: type your sign-off under Text; the slide lasts about six seconds and loops.

  3. Add a logo if you like

    Add photos or clips brings in a logo or a product shot from your device. A PNG with a transparent background usually sits most neatly.

  4. Export the file you need

    Press Play to check the timing, then Export video and choose MP4 for a video, GIF for a silent loop or PNG for a still. Then Download video.

    The Export video sheet with three choices, MP4, GIF and PNG, a Full HD or Smaller file switch, the note “6 seconds with sound. Made on this device; nothing is uploaded.” and an Export video button (enlarge image)

    Press Export video and choose MP4, GIF or, for a slide, PNG.

  5. Put it on the last slide

    Insert the file on the final slide and stretch it to fill the frame. The section below has the exact menus for PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote.

Inserting the thank you slide into your deck

PowerPoint

  1. Go to the final slide and choose Insert > Video > This Device (on a Mac, Insert > Video > Movie from File).
  2. Pick the MP4 and drag its corners until it covers the slide.
  3. On the Playback tab, set Start to Automatically, and tick Loop until Stopped if it should keep moving during questions.

A GIF goes in through Insert > Pictures instead; it loops on its own and needs no playback settings.

Google Slides

Slides takes videos from Google Drive or YouTube rather than from your computer, so upload the MP4 to Drive and use Insert > Video. A GIF is simpler: Insert > Image > Upload from computer, and it animates in present mode.

Keynote

Drag the MP4 or GIF from Finder onto the last slide and resize it to fill the frame. In the movie settings, choose to start it automatically and to loop it.

MP4, GIF or PNG: which to choose

  • MP4 is the sharpest and can carry music. Best for a recorded webinar or a pitch video where the ending is watched, not presented.
  • GIF is silent, loops for ever and goes in like a picture. Best for a live talk, because nothing can start playing sound by accident.
  • PNG is a single still frame. Use it when your organisation’s template forbids animation, or as a printed handout’s final page.

A live room rarely needs music on the closing slide: a laptop suddenly playing a song mid-applause is more distracting than charming.

What to write on a thank you slide

Two lines at most. People read the end slide while you are still talking, so it should support you, not compete with you. Some patterns that work:

  • Thank you + questions: “Thank you. Any questions?”
  • Thank you + one next step: “Thank you. Come and try the demo at stand 12.”
  • Thank you + where to find you: your name and a short web address or email, so photos of the slide are useful later.

Wrapping up with a softer line instead? The thank you for listening slide and the thank you for your attention slide have their own designs and wording ideas.

Thank you slide questions

What should be on the last slide of a presentation?

A short thank-you, an invitation to ask questions and, if it helps, one way to reach you. Avoid a new chart or a dense summary on the final slide; it pulls attention away from the conversation.

What size is the thank you slide?

The Slide 16:9 shape matches the default widescreen slide in PowerPoint, Google Slides and Keynote, so it fills the frame with no black bars.

How long is the animation?

A few seconds, designed to end on a calm still frame or to loop cleanly. That suits applause and questions: it moves when the slide appears, then settles.

Can I use a GIF instead of a video in PowerPoint?

Yes. Insert it like any picture and it loops by itself in Slide Show. It has no sound, which many presenters prefer for a live talk.

Will it work in Google Slides?

Yes. A GIF uploads straight from your computer as an image. An MP4 needs to be in your Google Drive first, then inserted from there.

Can I put our company logo on it?

Yes. Add the logo with Add photos or clips. The file stays on your device, which matters for unreleased branding or client names.

Is it free for work presentations?

Yes. No account, no fee and no watermark on the slide, whether it is for a lesson, a client pitch or a conference keynote.
