Quick answer
Open a Miro board, add a Frame for each slide using the toolbar, and fill each frame with text, images, or sticky notes. Arrange frames in the order you want them shown, then click Present in the top-right corner to launch a full-screen, slide-by-slide presentation directly from your board.
Steps at a glance
- Open or create a new Miro board
- Add a Frame for each slide from the toolbar

Summary
Miro lets you build a presentation directly on a board by turning Frames into individual slides, then playing them back in Presentation Mode. This approach keeps your visual brainstorming and your final presentation in one place, so you never have to export content into a separate slide deck tool.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Open or create your board
Start from an existing board or set up a new one if you haven't already. If you need a walkthrough on setup, see the guide on how to <a href='/guides/miro/create-a-board'>create a board</a> before you begin adding slide content.
Step 2
Add a Frame for each slide
Click the Frame tool in the left toolbar (it looks like a corner bracket icon) and draw a frame on the canvas. Each frame represents one slide, so repeat this step for every slide you plan to include, spacing them out so they're easy to work with.
Step 3
Fill frames with content
Click inside each frame and add text boxes, images, shapes, or sticky notes to build out your slide content. If you want a quick way to capture ideas or talking points, check the guide on how to <a href='/guides/miro/add-sticky-notes'>add sticky notes</a> for a fast layout method.
Step 4
Name your frames
Double-click the frame title (shown above the top-left corner of each frame) and rename it something descriptive, like 'Slide 1 - Intro'. Clear naming makes it much easier to reorder slides later and to navigate during a live presentation.
Step 5
Arrange frames in presentation order
Open the Frames panel from the left sidebar to see a list of every frame on the board. Drag frames up or down in this list, or reposition them on the canvas, so they play back in the exact sequence you want.
Step 6
Launch Presentation Mode
Click the Present button in the top-right corner of the board, then choose Frames as the presentation source. Miro will generate a slide sequence based on your frame order and open a full-screen view ready to display.
Step 7
Navigate and present
Use the left and right arrow keys, or the on-screen arrows, to move between frames during your presentation. Press Escape at any time to exit Presentation Mode and return to the regular board view.
Why this matters
You've just run a workshop or planning session on a Miro board, and now you need to walk stakeholders through the key ideas without rebuilding everything in a separate slide tool. Turning your existing frames into a presentation saves time and keeps the context intact.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Miro plan to present a board?
No, Presentation Mode using Frames is available on Miro's free plan. You can build and present frame-based slides without upgrading.
Can I export my Miro presentation as a PDF or slide file?
Yes, you can export frames as images or a PDF from the board menu, which is useful for sharing a static version after a live presentation.
Can I add transitions or animations between slides?
Miro's Presentation Mode moves between frames with a simple pan-and-zoom effect rather than custom slide transitions, keeping the focus on your board content.
What if I want a different layout style, like a mind map, instead of slides?
Frames work well for linear presentations, but if your content is more relational, consider building a <a href='/guides/miro/create-a-mind-map'>mind map</a> instead and presenting that structure directly.
