From Concept to Client: How to Build and Share a Product Demo Using Presentation Editor
Launching a product demo shouldn’t feel like a juggling act of clunky screen grabs, awkward live clicks, or cringe-worthy transitions. What if you could package your big idea into a polished, interactive slide deck instead? With WPS Presentation, part of the all-in-one WPS Office suite, you can absolutely download PowerPoint, no extra video software, and no complicated editing suites required.
In this step-by-step guide, you’ll see exactly how to craft, refine, and share a demo presentation using WPS Presentation on Windows. By the end, you’ll be ready to impress prospects with clean visuals, smooth transitions, and secure cloud sharing — all from one streamlined workspace that saves you time, money, and stress.
Establish the purpose and flow of your demo
Before you begin building slides, consider your demo presentation as a narrative:
Opening context – What issue does your product address?
Product showcase – How and what works, feature by feature.
Visual examples – Screenshots, diagrams, or GIF sequences.
Interactive flow – Animations or simulated clicks to show the way.
Next steps – How people interested can trial, buy, or find out more.
This account makes your presentation short, compelling, and simple to follow—even without a live demo.
Capture visuals: screenshots, GIFs, and icons
A non-visual demo is merely a lecture. Here's how you make it come alive:
Capture important screens using the Snipping Tool or Print Screen.
Insert these using Insert > Picture.
If your demo contains a rapid flow (such as a navigation sequence), produce a brief animated GIF using an additional utility, and then insert it as an image—WPS Presentation will animate it for you.
Use Insert > Icons to add simple buttons, arrows, or UI symbols—these help your viewer follow the interface you’re showcasing.
Consistent visuals and icons reinforce your messaging and reduce confusion in client reviews.
For clarity, animate and modify transitions
It can feel dense to watch static slides. Without being distracting, subtle animations and transitions direct attention:
Choose a text box or picture, then add an entrance animation, such as Fade or Appear.
For animated GIFs or sophisticated demos, Employ Animations > Play for control.
Employ Transitions > Fade between slides to maintain smoothness, particularly when changing subject matter.
Avoid the temptation to overdo it—over-animation waters down your message. Employ timing and movement instead to highlight, not distract.
Step-by-step: How to create and share your demo deck on Windows
This tutorial is optimized for WPS Presentation, part of your WPS Office suite on Windows:
Step 1: Begin your deck
Launch WPS Presentation, pick a blank template (tech or product-focused), and define your slide size through Design > Slide Size. Widescreen (16:9) layout is ideal for demo graphics.
Step 2: Organize your flow
Make slides according to your story:
Slide 1: Title slide with product photo and tagline.
Slides 2–4: Problem-solution presentations that offer significant advantages.
Slides 5–7: Feature demonstrations, each with a little description and a screenshot or GIF.
Slide 8: Request action with links or actions to take.
Use Insert > Text Box and Picture to organize visuals and text tidily.
Step 3: Add animation
Click on each graphic and use Animations. For instance, animate screenshots so that they appear after a title appears—excellent for pacing.
Step 4: Rehearse
Head to Slide Show > Rehearse Timings to practice your presentation and vary animation speed. Keep things tight—demo decks should be less than 10 minutes.
Step 5: Export from PPT to PDF
Once you have refined your deck, press Menu > Export to PDF for safe sharing, or Export to Video to share as an MP4—perfect when embedding in email or social networks.
Step 6: Share securely
Share your RGB-proof PDF by email, but if you prefer more control:
Save to WPS Cloud.
Press File > Share > Create Share Link—clients can open or download straight away.
Or send the video or PDF along with your outreach email with a readable CTA such as "Click to View Demo."
Optimize your visuals for consistency and branding
Presentation fosters trust in addition to communicating function. Keep your brand consistent:
Put your logo in the corner of each slide by selecting Insert > Picture.
A subtle brand-color gradient can be applied by selecting Design > Format Background.
Use theme colours to align charts and icons with your brand's colour scheme.
Preserve your unique style so that decks in the future have the same appearance and feel.
Clients are informed by consistency that this is deliberate, professional work.
Emphasize benefits, not merely features
It's tempting when making a product demo deck to spend slide after slide listing out features. But keep in mind—your client isn't purchasing software or a service, they're purchasing a solution for their pain point. So be sure to present each feature as a benefit in your demo. Rather than "Includes 24/7 chat support," say "Never miss a customer question with real-time, 24/7 support." The idea is to connect product ability directly to the client's objective.
You can support this value-driven marketing in WPS Presentation by putting a quote from a testimonial beneath a screenshot or by combining bullet points with iconography. To draw attention to statements like "Save 10+ hours a week" or "Reduce onboarding time by 50%," use bold subheadings. Your client will find it easier to see results rather than merely tools as a result.
Use cloud sync to keep demos accessible and updated
One of the underappreciated benefits of WPS Office is its cloud integration that just works. Product demos are never static—clients request changes, products receive updates, or a new team member needs access immediately. With WPS Cloud, you can generate a single shareable link for your presentation that always points to the most updated version.
This implies that you won't have to re-send email attachments whenever you make a change to a slide or insert new graphics. Simply update the master deck, synchronize it with WPS Cloud, and relax in the knowledge that all stakeholders are viewing the most recent version. To do this, navigate to File > Save to Cloud within WPS Presentation and create a view-only or editable link accordingly. It's a time-saver, particularly for remote teams, freelancers, and quick-moving sales cycles.
Conclusion: a demo deck that delivers, not distracts
Producing a professional-looking product demo is not about special tools or technical tricks. With WPS Presentation, you can create slides that are fresh, apply visuals to lead understanding, and distribute the entire set safely—all from Windows and without messing with cloud permissions.
When presentation time arrives—to prospects, partners, or stakeholders—you'll feel good knowing your deck operates smoothly and delivers convincingly. No designer? No worries. All you require is a solid plan and WPS Office.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can I add live screenshots or GIFs in this application demo deck?
Yes! WPS Presentation has animated GIF support natively—just add them through Insert > Picture, and they'll play automatically within presentation mode. For longer screen recordings, create an external video (e.g., MP4), then include it under Insert > Media > Video from File. That way, your demo can play continuously throughout the slideshow without requiring standalone apps.

Q2: Can I keep my exported demo safe if I do not wish others to edit it?
Yes. Exports to PDF using Menu > Export to PDF have the option to apply password protection and limit printing or editing. For video exports, the document is by nature non-editable. This way, clients receive the finished, intact version you had in mind—no unwanted edits or formatting changes.

Q4: Can I see which slides my clients are looking at?
Although WPS currently doesn't include slide-by-slide metrics, you can estimate the time spent per section by using time-coded video exports. To get more sophisticated tracking like view counts or timestamping, you can iframe your deck into a secure client portal or utilize services like Vimeo or custom LMS platforms that include analytics capabilities.
