NotaDesignToolAdd-On, Purpose-Built Treatments

Figma Slides brings presentation features to the design tool you already know. Pitchello is purpose-built for treatments, lookbooks, and visual bibles — not a feature inside a design tool.

03 / WHY PITCHELLO

WhyPitchello

01

Purpose-Built, Not Bolted On

Figma Slides is a presentation feature inside a design tool. Pitchello is a dedicated treatment builder where every feature serves pre-production.

How Figma Slides handles this

Figma Slides leverages Figma's powerful design engine for presentations. It's capable but inherits Figma's complexity — you need to know Figma to get the most out of it, and the slide paradigm doesn't match treatment workflows.

How Pitchello handles this

Pitchello is built exclusively for treatments and creative pitches. Every page type, layout option, and sharing feature is designed for the documents creative professionals actually make.

02

No Design Degree Required

Figma is a professional design tool with a professional learning curve. Your time is better spent on the creative work.

How Figma Slides handles this

Figma Slides is accessible to Figma users, but Figma itself has a significant learning curve. For anyone not already proficient in Figma, there's a steep ramp-up before they can build effective presentations.

How Pitchello handles this

Pitchello is intuitive from the first minute. Drag your reference images in, choose a layout, add text — done. No design tool proficiency required.

03

Sharing That Works for Producers

When a producer opens your treatment, they need a clean, instant viewing experience — not a Figma prototype link.

How Figma Slides handles this

Figma Slides shares via Figma links. Recipients see a Figma-branded viewing experience, which is great for design reviews but feels off-brand for client-facing treatments.

How Pitchello handles this

Every Pitchello link opens as a clean, branded treatment view with view analytics, password protection, and a professional experience that matches the quality of your work.
