Arabic PowerPoint without text direction problems
Anyone who has designed an Arabic deck knows the problem: the text looks fine in the design tool, then it opens in PowerPoint with flipped alignment, English words and numbers scrambled inside sentences, and lines breaking in odd places. taqreer.ai was built Arabic-first, so it handles these problems both in the design and in the exported PowerPoint file.
Why does Arabic text break in PowerPoint?
Arabic runs right to left, while English words and numbers run left to right. When both directions share a line, the PowerPoint file needs the right direction settings for every paragraph and text box. Many English-first tools don't set all of these, so the deck looks fine in the browser and breaks after export.
How taqreer.ai keeps Arabic right
- Correct direction and alignment for every Arabic paragraph in the exported PowerPoint.
- English words and numbers in their correct place inside Arabic sentences.
- Line-width correction so Arabic text does not wrap differently when the file opens in PowerPoint.
- Your own Arabic fonts are embedded in the exported file when you upload them to your brand kit.
- Control the direction of each text box in the editor, for decks that mix Arabic and English.
Common mistakes in Arabic presentations
- Left-aligned Arabic text, which makes a deck look translated rather than designed in Arabic.
- Punctuation at the wrong end of the sentence because of the paragraph direction.
- A font without good Arabic support, so letters appear disconnected or in a fallback font.
- Lists and bullets that start on the left while the text reads from the right.
In taqreer.ai, Arabic slides are designed right to left from the start, so you don't have to fix these mistakes by hand after every deck.
Arabic fonts for presentations
The font is one of the biggest signs of a professional Arabic deck. Pick a font that supports Arabic in all its weights, and use a bold weight for headings and a regular weight for body text. If your brand has its own fonts, upload them once to your brand kit so they are used in every deck and embedded in the PowerPoint file, and the deck shows your font even on a computer that doesn't have it.
An Arabic presentation, an English one, or both
The taqreer.ai interface is in Arabic and English, and you can design a deck in either language whatever your interface language is. Start from an idea with PowerPoint AI, or convert an Arabic file with PDF to PowerPoint, then export to PowerPoint with clean Arabic.
