How to choose a pros and cons layout

A two-column pros and cons table is the safest default — it reads instantly and works at any slide size. Reach for a balance scale or seesaw diagram when your conclusion is that one side clearly outweighs the other, since the tilt carries the argument before anyone reads a word. Use a comparison table when you are weighing three or more options rather than two, and an animated layout when you want to reveal each side in turn instead of showing the whole slide at once.

When a pros and cons slide is the wrong tool

If every drawback has a matching fix, a challenges-and-solutions layout tells a stronger story than a pros and cons split. If you are assessing a whole business rather than a single decision, a SWOT analysis template gives you four quadrants instead of two. And if the point is change over time rather than a choice, use a before and after slide.

What is a pros and cons slide?

A pros and cons slide sets the advantages of a decision against its drawbacks on a single slide, usually in two columns. It gives an audience both sides at once so they can follow the reasoning rather than take the conclusion on trust.

Which pros and cons layout should I use?

Use a two-column table for a straightforward list. Use a balance scale or seesaw when one side clearly wins and you want the visual to say so. Use a circular or hexagonal diagram when the two sides are genuinely balanced and you do not want to signal a preference. Use an animated layout when you are presenting live and want to reveal each side in turn.

How do you make a pros and cons slide in PowerPoint?

Start from a two-column layout, put the advantages on the left and the drawbacks on the right, and label each side clearly. Keep to three to five points per side — beyond that the slide stops being scannable. Use colour and icons to separate the two sides rather than borders, and finish with a single line stating what you recommend. Starting from a ready-made pros and cons PPT template skips the layout work entirely.

Are these pros and cons templates free?

Some are. The free pros and cons templates are grouped at the top of this page and download without a subscription. The rest are available individually or through an Unlimited Access membership.
