Trusted by individuals from these teams
01
Perfect alignment, instantly.
Left, center, right, top, middle, bottom. Align any selection to each other or to the slide, the way alignment should actually work.
02
Even spacing, automatically.
Distribute objects with equal horizontal or vertical gaps. No more eyeballing 12px here and 9px there.
03
Layout that arranges itself.
Stack objects into a clean row or column with a fixed gap, anchored exactly where you want. Like auto-layout, for slides.
Everything you need to keep slides tidy
Align & distribute
Six alignment axes plus equal horizontal and vertical distribution. Select your shapes, click once, done, referenced to the selection or the whole slide.
Organize (auto-layout)
Pick row or column, set your gap, choose an anchor point on the 3×3 grid, and Auto Layout & Grid packs everything into a tidy stack, re-runnable any time you add or remove an item.
Copy & apply size
Grab the dimensions of one object and apply them to others: width, height, or both. Make every card, icon or thumbnail match in two clicks.
Spacing tokens
Save your spacing scale (16, 24, 32 pt by default) and reuse it everywhere. Build a real design system into your slides. Your tokens persist between sessions.
Rotate & flip
Rotate 90°, flip horizontally or vertically, or set a precise free rotation. Reorient anything without dragging handles.
Grid layout
Arrange your selection into a precise grid: choose columns, rows, gap and margin, then drop objects into exactly the cells you pick. Save grids as reusable presets — images keep their aspect ratio and groups scale without distortion.
Frequently asked questions
What does the “Organize” / auto-layout feature do?
It stacks your selected objects into a clean row or column with a consistent gap, anchored to any of nine points via a 3×3 grid, so you can rebuild a tidy layout in one click.
Can I make several objects the same size?
Yes. Copy the size from one object and apply width, height, or both to any number of others.
What are spacing tokens?
A reusable spacing scale (16, 24, 32 pt by default, fully editable) so every gap in your deck follows the same system. Your tokens are saved between sessions.
Does it work on any Google Slides presentation?
Yes. Auto Layout & Grid runs as a Google Slides add-on. No export, no third-party software. Open your deck, launch the add-on, and arrange.
Is my presentation data safe?
Auto Layout & Grid only reads and modifies the presentation you’re working on. We don’t store, share, or transmit your data.
What is Grid Layout?
Grid Layout snaps your selected objects into a grid you define — columns, rows, gap and margin. Pick the exact cells to fill, save grids as reusable presets, and apply in one click. Images keep their aspect ratio; grouped objects scale without distortion.
