ToolsToo is a powerful productivity add-in designed to dramatically speed up presentation design and formatting in Microsoft PowerPoint. Developed by Gil Segal, it consolidates over 85–100 advanced shape and utility features into a single dedicated tab on your PowerPoint ribbon, helping heavy users (like consultants, analysts, and designers) eliminate hundreds of repetitive, manual clicks.
The add-in operates strictly as a Windows-only desktop application (fully compatible with Microsoft 365 and older PowerPoint versions) and is purchased via a one-time licensing fee. Key Features That Boost Your Speed
Instead of wrestling with native PowerPoint menus, ToolsToo introduces advanced functions that drastically shorten layout workflows: 1. Reference Shape Formatting (The Ultimate Time-Saver)
In native PowerPoint, aligning or resizing objects causes all selected items to shift dynamically. ToolsToo fixes this by introducing a Reference Shape system:
Anchor Alignment: You can pick one shape as your “anchor,” and align, stretch, or distribute all other selected shapes relative only to that specific item.
Make Same Utilities: Instantly match the exact height, width, rotation, shadow, text margins, or table formatting of the reference shape with a single click.
Make Same Rounded Corner: Ensures the corner radius across completely different-sized shapes matches identically. 2. Advanced Selection & Grouping Tools
Select Same: Instantly find and select every shape on a slide that matches a specific characteristic, such as the exact same fill color, font size, line weight, or shape style.
Add to Group: Lets you inject new shapes into an existing group layout without breaking the layering hierarchy or losing complex pre-existing animations. 3. Presentation Clean-Up & Optimization ToolsToo for PowerPoint 2026 Review
