What is PaneFlow?
PaneFlow is a visual slideshow builder that lets you design and animate presentations using a pane-and-block structure. Each pane acts like a slide, and inside each pane, you can drag in blocks like text, images, videos, backgrounds, 3D models, and charts - then define how they animate from one pane to the next. It's not just a presentation tool; it's a powerful visual storytelling framework that integrates beautifully with your existing dev stack.
Key features include drag-and-drop visual editing with a floating toolbar and inline text editing, 18 animation types with adjustable speed, scale, and delay, parallax transitions, blur effects, and advanced transitions. The tool includes AI image generation and editing built into the editor, allowing you to generate custom graphics, backgrounds, and illustrations from text descriptions, edit existing images, and remove backgrounds with AI. You can add realistic 3D device mockups (devices, browser frames, shapes) with true 3D positioning and rotation, animating changes smoothly between panes.
PaneFlow exports to every format your team needs: clean HTML, React components, Vue components, Svelte components, Next.js projects, Webflow and Framer plugins (native apps, no iframes), CDN embeds with one-click publishing, MP4 video files, and PDF. The tool connects to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client, letting AI agents build, edit, and animate complete slideshows from prompts.
PaneFlow is ideal for developers who want clean code output, designers who need visual control with animation precision, marketers who need speed for product showcases and campaign content, startups building animated pitch decks, educators creating interactive tutorials, agencies that build once and deliver everywhere, content creators making animated video for social media, and product managers building feature walkthroughs without dev help.
The tool runs on Linux (Wayland or X11 with Vulkan driver), macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple Silicon, and Windows 10 1809 or later. It offers pre-built beautifully designed templates to start projects quickly, instant real-time preview for feedback, reusable blocks across slides with smooth transitions, and a content editor for managing styles and transitions easily.

Frequently asked questions about PaneFlow
What is PaneFlow?
PaneFlow is a visual slideshow builder that lets you design and animate presentations using a pane-and-block structure. Each pane acts like a slide, and inside each pane, you drag in blocks like text, images, videos, backgrounds, 3D models, and charts. You define how they animate from one pane to the next. It exports to HTML, React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Webflow plugin, Framer plugin, CDN embed, video, and PDF - no coding required.
Do I need to know code to use PaneFlow?
No coding is required. PaneFlow is a pure visual drag-and-drop editor with a floating toolbar, inline text editing, and instant real-time preview. You design slideshows visually using blocks on a flexible grid, add animations, and export. The tool is designed for non-technical users while still producing clean, readable code for developers who want it.
What can I export from PaneFlow?
PaneFlow exports to every format your team needs: clean HTML, React components, Vue components, Svelte components, fully scaffolded Next.js projects with App Router and TypeScript, native Webflow app (no iframe), native Framer plugin, one-click CDN embeds, MP4 video files, and PDF documents. You ship the same slideshow as code, embed, video, or PDF in one click.
Does PaneFlow have AI features?
Yes, PaneFlow includes AI image generation and editing built into the editor. You can describe what you need and get on-brand images, tweak them with a prompt, or cut out the background without leaving your project. PaneFlow also connects to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client, letting AI agents build, edit, and animate complete slideshows for you straight from a prompt. All AI tools are included in both Solo and Team plans.
What animation types does PaneFlow support?
PaneFlow offers 18 animation types for text, images, videos, shapes, and groups. You can adjust speed, scale, and delay for each animation. The tool also supports parallax transitions, blur effects, and advanced transitions. Animations transform static slides into dynamic visual experiences with block morphing that allows blocks to move, resize, fade, and scale smoothly between panes.
Can I add 3D models to my slideshows?
Yes, PaneFlow's biggest update adds 3D models to slideshows. You can drop realistic device mockups (devices, browser frames, shapes), position and rotate them in true 3D, and animate those changes smoothly between panes using PaneFlow's pane-and-block system. The 3D animation is not scroll-triggered - it's native pane-to-pane animation.
Does PaneFlow work with Webflow and Framer?
Yes, PaneFlow has native Webflow and Framer integrations. For Webflow, there's a native Webflow app for advanced animated slideshows - no code, no iframe, no copy-paste. For Framer, there's a native Framer plugin with visual editor, 3D mockups, and 18 animation types. You add animated slideshows to your pages like built-in components, not as embedded third-party content.
What platforms does PaneFlow run on?
PaneFlow runs on Linux (Wayland or X11 with a Vulkan driver), macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple Silicon only (not Intel), and Windows 10 1809 or later. Windows support is currently in active porting. The tool is written in pure Rust on top of Zed's GPUI rendering engine with native window decorations, no Electron, no JavaScript runtime, and no input lag.
Is there a free version of PaneFlow?
No, PaneFlow does not have a free tier. It offers paid Solo and Team subscription plans only. Solo is $5/month and Team is $10/month, with all features included at the Solo price. Occasionally, lifetime access deals are available during launch offers (Solo: $96 once, Team: $192 once normally, or $48/$96 during the June 2026 launch).
What is the difference between Solo and Team plans?
The Solo plan is for individual users at $5/month or $48/year. The Team plan supports up to 5 members at $10/month or $96/year. Both plans include every feature - all export formats (HTML, React, Vue, Svelte, Next.js, Video, PDF, CDN), all AI tools (image generation, background removal), all 18 animation types, and all integrations (Webflow, Framer, MCP). The only difference is the number of users allowed.
