Frequently asked questions

What is Xtensio?

Xtensio is the quickest and easiest way for teams to create, share and manage all of their business documents together. Create pitches, sales sheets, reports, case studies, agendas and more. Add images, videos, tables, buttons and other interactive modules. Drag and drop, resize, change backgrounds, colors. Share a link. Present a digital slideshow. Export a PDF/PNG.

What is a project? 

An Xtensio folio is a living document. It’s a live webpage, a full-screen digital slideshow presentation and an exportable PDF/PNG document all-in-one. Folios are responsive, collaborative and completely customizable.
Start from an instructional template, editable example or a blank folio to build all your business documents and presentations with the ease of a web builder. Add team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. Changes instantly sync to the live version of the folio so both internal and external stakeholders are always up-to-date. Xtensio folios are the next generation of flexible documents and presentations.

How is Xtensio different from PPT, Illustrator or Word?

Unlike other presentation or document creators, Xtensio works like a web builder so you can easily drag and drop interactive content, customize the layout, and change colors, fonts, backgrounds to get professional-looking business content out the door quickly, without needing a designer.

You can collaborate with team members and guests to work together in real-time on the cloud. And the flexibility to share projects as live web links, digital slideshow presentations or exportable PDF/PNGs means you don’t have to jump between tools when creating different deliverables. Check out this page to see how Xtensio outpaces the competition.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. All Xtensio plans include 128 bit SSL encryption and backups to ensure your data is secure. Here’s more on the range of sharing options on Xtensio, from completely private to public.

Can I create a free mood board?

Yes. You can use Xtensio’s simple editor and any template, including the mood board template for free. Create an account to save and share your work. 

What would I get by upgrading to a premium plan? 

By upgrading to our premium plans, you’ll have a private, branded workspace with your own URL where you, your team members and guests can create and collaborate on multiple presentations and documents.

You’ll be able to lock branding across your deliverables with the team style guide, streamline the creation process with custom templates, unlock exports, add password protection and customize individual shared links, and view project stats to stay updated on all of your projects. Here’s more about our premium plans.

What would I use the mood board template for? 

A mood board is a great tool to kickstart any creative project, refine ideas, and align minds on a direction. Apply the mood board in branding, marketing, product design, and content creation projects.

Can I add colleagues to work on the mood board? 

Yes! You can invite as many people as you’d like to collaborate on your mood board, ensuring your whole team is aligned. As a platform, Xtensio helps improve the way your team works. Here’s more on real-time collaboration.

How do I share my mood board?

When you’re ready to share your completed mood board, choose between presenting it as a full-screen digital slideshow, sending it as a responsive web link (you can even have the link show in slide view) or exporting it as a PDF or PNG. Learn more about the different ways to share your projects in this tutorial video.
