Formerly known as "Free Templates Keynote Themes" - this collection now includes business decks, educational layouts, science presentations, marketing reports, and topic-specific designs across 30+ categories.
These are complete free Keynote templates - not starter packs or locked previews. Each file includes all slides, master layouts, editable text placeholders, and color themes ready to open in Apple Keynote on Mac, iPad, or iPhone. Whether you are presenting a quarterly update to your leadership team, running a university lecture, or pitching a side project to early investors, these templates give you a structured starting point that holds together visually from the first slide to the last.
Use this collection to find a layout matched to your meeting type and audience - then customize it in under 20 minutes.
This library covers a wide range of presentation contexts, not just generic business slides. You will find topic-specific designs for digital marketing, cybersecurity, finance, education, science, religious occasions, technology, and more. Each template is a complete deck with multiple slide types: title slides, agenda pages, content layouts with image placeholders, data slide variants, section dividers, and closing slides.
All files are in native .key format. This means every element - text boxes, shapes, color fills, icon layers, and animation builds - is editable directly in Keynote without needing third-party plugins or font substitutions. You are not working with a flattened PDF export or a locked design file. The master slides are fully accessible, so you can adjust brand colors once and have the change propagate across the entire deck automatically.
Templates in this collection range from minimal single-color layouts to illustrated, topic-specific designs with supporting graphics. The variety means you can find something appropriate for a board meeting at a financial institution and something equally appropriate for a middle school science class - both free, both editable, both structured for their specific context.
A marketing manager at a mid-sized e-commerce company needs to present Q3 performance data to department heads every quarter. Using a pre-built Keynote template with a consistent title slide, data layout pages, and a summary section means the deck looks polished without spending three hours on formatting. The template enforces visual consistency - font hierarchy, spacing, and color relationships - so every slide reinforces the same impression. The manager fills in the content, not the design system.
A university lecturer preparing a module on molecular biology can use one of the science-focused templates in this collection - layouts with clean diagram areas, step-by-step process slides, and text-heavy content pages that remain readable at the back of a lecture hall. A corporate training specialist running onboarding sessions benefits from templates with numbered process flows, comparison slides, and knowledge-check layouts built directly into the deck structure.
A founder preparing a seed-stage pitch needs a deck that communicates traction, market size, and team credibility clearly. Several templates in this free collection include layouts designed around problem-solution-market structures with prominent value proposition areas and visual data placeholders. Using a structured template means the founder focuses on the narrative and the numbers, not on whether the font size on slide 7 matches slide 3.
A digital marketing analyst presenting campaign performance to a client can pull a template with chart-ready slide layouts, KPI highlight boxes, and timeline slides. Templates in the digital marketing and finance categories within this collection include exactly these components. The analyst replaces placeholder data with actual metrics and exports a client-ready PDF in one step.
Building a presentation from a blank Keynote document requires you to make dozens of micro-decisions before adding any content: which font pairing to use, what the base color palette will be, how much padding to apply inside text boxes, how to size headings relative to body copy, whether to use bullet points or icon lists. Each of these decisions takes time, and inconsistent choices accumulate across slides until the deck looks assembled rather than designed.
A complete template resolves all of these decisions upfront. The design system - typography scale, color relationships, spacing rules, master layouts - is already built in. You inherit a coherent visual language without needing to construct one. The result is a deck that looks intentional because it was intentionally designed, not because you manually harmonized 40 slides after the fact.
Compared to using default Keynote themes bundled with the application, these templates offer more context-specific layouts and a wider range of slide types per deck. Apple's built-in themes are designed to be universally acceptable, which means they are rarely ideal for any specific presentation context. A cybersecurity briefing, a university chemistry lecture, and a fintech investor pitch all have different visual requirements - and this collection addresses each separately.
Click the download button on any template page. The file downloads as a .key file directly to your Mac Downloads folder or to your Files app on iPad. Open it by double-clicking - Keynote launches automatically and the full deck appears with all slides loaded. No account creation, no subscription activation, no unlock codes.
Before replacing any content, go to View → Edit Master Slides. Change the primary brand color in the master theme color settings. Update the logo placeholder in the header or footer master. Adjust the base font if your organization uses a specific typeface. Any change made at the master level propagates across all slides that use that master layout, saving you from editing each slide individually.
Work through the deck in Outline view first to structure your narrative, then switch to Normal view to refine individual slides. Click directly on text placeholders to replace sample content. Use Keynote's Arrange tools to maintain consistent spacing when adding or repositioning elements. For slides with grouped objects, double-click the group to enter it before editing individual components.
Export as PDF for email delivery or static client presentations. Use Export to PowerPoint (.pptx) if your audience works in Microsoft Office environments - Keynote handles this conversion cleanly for most layout types. For live presentations, keep the native .key file to preserve animation builds and interactive transitions.
Most template marketplaces treat their free tier as a sample or teaser - a handful of generic designs meant to demonstrate what the paid collection looks like. The free templates at ImagineLayout are full, standalone decks released across specific topic categories. A free cybersecurity template is not a simplified version of a paid one. It is a complete, topic-specific design built for that subject area.
Platforms like Slidesgo and Canva offer free templates primarily in web-based formats that require an account, export through their own rendering engine, and may include watermarks on the free tier. ImagineLayout free .key files download directly to your device with no account required and no platform watermarks. You own the file and work in native Keynote.
The range of topic categories available here also exceeds what most competitors offer in the free tier. Science, religion, cryptocurrency, programming languages, and geopolitical topics are all covered with dedicated designs - not generic layouts with a color swap and a different stock photo.

Yes, every template listed on this page is free to download and use with no purchase required and no account registration needed. There are no watermarks on the downloaded files, no locked slides, and no premium upgrade required to access the full deck. The .key file you download is the complete template. Some templates in other sections of ImagineLayout are paid products, but everything listed under the Free Templates category is available at no cost.
The templates are built for recent versions of Keynote on macOS and iPadOS. Keynote 12 and later are fully supported. If you are using an older version, most layout and typography elements will work correctly, but some animation builds or newer slide transition types may not render as designed. We recommend keeping Keynote updated through the Mac App Store to ensure full compatibility. All templates also open on iPhone via the Keynote app, though editing complex layouts is easier on Mac or iPad.
Yes, all master slides are fully editable. To access them, go to View → Edit Master Slides in Keynote. From there you can change background colors, update font choices, adjust placeholder positions, and add or remove logo areas. Changes made at the master level apply automatically to all slides using that master layout, so rebranding an entire deck takes a few minutes rather than editing each slide individually. There are no locked layers or protected elements.
Yes. You can use these templates to create presentations for commercial purposes, including client deliverables, paid speaking engagements, and business pitches. The license does not require attribution to ImagineLayout in your presentation. You may not redistribute the raw .key files as your own template product or resell them on other marketplaces. For full licensing terms, refer to the Terms of Use page on ImagineLayout.com.
Yes. Keynote includes a built-in export function that converts .key files to .pptx format. Go to File → Export To → PowerPoint in Keynote to generate a compatible file. Most layout elements, text formatting, and shapes convert cleanly. Complex animations and Keynote-specific transitions may not carry over to PowerPoint exactly as designed, but the slide structure and content layout will remain intact. This is useful when sharing with colleagues or clients who work in Microsoft Office environments.
Slide count varies by template. Most free templates in this collection include between 10 and 30 slides covering the standard presentation structure: title slide, agenda, multiple content layouts, data or chart slides, section dividers, and a closing slide. The slide count is listed on each individual template product page before you download. Templates with a higher slide count typically cover more layout variations and give you more flexibility in structuring longer presentations.
