Timer for PowerPoint

Deliver Remarkable Presentations
and Stay on Time

Run a countdown timer or stopwatch directly on your PowerPoint slide. Timer for PowerPoint never uploads your presentation to our servers.

Most Work Is Forgettable, Presentations Are Not

A presentation is one of the few moments when colleagues and leaders see your thinking, preparation, and delivery at once. Protect that moment.

  • Don't look unprepared. Running over time makes even a strong talk feel undisciplined and forces you to rush the ending.
  • Don't divide your attention. Public speaking already demands your focus. Checking a phone or separate clock adds mental overhead at the worst moment.
  • Don't lose the chance to impress. Your close and Q&A are often what people remember. Protect time for both.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the timer work during a slide show?

Yes. Timer stays visible and interactive directly on the slide in Slide Show.

Can I divide my presentation into timed sections?

Yes. Add named time ranges for your introduction, demo, Q&A, or any other part of the presentation. The current section name appears above the timer as it runs.

Can I use the timer on multiple devices?

Yes. Link Timer instances in the same presentation to keep them synchronized across supported devices. Unlink them when you need independent timers.

What happens when the countdown reaches zero?

The display reaches 00:00 and flashes to get your attention. If you enabled the sound alert, Timer also plays a beep.

Does Timer remember my setup?

Yes. Timer saves the mode, duration, theme, sound preference, and sections with the presentation so they are ready when you reopen it.

How does Timer for PowerPoint handle my data?

Timer for PowerPoint never uploads or stores your presentation content on our servers. To persist and optionally sync timers, our database stores timer settings and runtime state under random identifiers. Read our privacy policy for full details.
