Use iCloud with Keynote

iCloud stores your presentations and keeps them up-to-date across your iOS devices, the web, and your computer so that you always have the most current versions at hand, no matter which device you used to make your latest edits.

You can edit Keynote presentations in a web browser using Keynote for iCloud beta. Keynote for iCloud beta is a web app that allows you to create and edit Keynote presentations using a supported web browser from a Mac or Windows computer.

Presentations you create using Keynote for iCloud beta are automatically available in Keynote on your Mac or iOS devices that are set up to use iCloud—and vice versa: If you create a presentation using Keynote on an iOS device or Mac, it appears automatically on the web in Keynote for iCloud beta.

See Keynote for iCloud beta Help for more information.
