Your charts use Google Sheets

You need interactive content
Visme's hotspots and HTML5 export, or Prezi's canvas, fit better than linear tools.
You just need a download
Pick a tool with PowerPoint and PDF on its free plan.
You make many decks
Count AI credits per deck. Two credits a deck from ten a month is five decks.
