BERLIN, Germany – November 13, 2025

thinkcell 14 comes less than a year after the major release of thinkcell Suite in early 2025, which saw the introduction of thinkcell Library and other time-saving features that expanded functionalities far beyond charting. thinkcell 14 now builds on these achievements even further, providing new capabilities that ensure thinkcell can comprehensively serve any business user’s PowerPoint needs.

Highlights include:

  • Efficient layout adjustment: Anyone editing a slide will save time with thinkcell 14’s overhauled layout system and an expanded set of powerful thinkcell Tools. New features let users instantly swap the positions of objects or rescale multiple shapes at once while retaining their relative proportions.

  • Flexible content reuse: Teams can collaborate more effectively with new options for finding and leveraging existing slides and other resources.

  • Excel-driven reporting: Finance professionals and other data-heavy users benefit from an extensive range of versatile ways to link charts and tables to Excel-powered spreadsheets.


  • Enhanced data visualization: Storytellers can now use advanced features like net lines and integrated data tables to turn their insights into more convincing narratives.

  • Optimized thinkcell experience: Old and new users alike will find a revamped toolbar and customizable ribbon tab that provide easier access to the most-used commands.

“People use PowerPoint in countless different ways, which is why thinkcell 14 helps users do everything from search for templates and build automated charts to effortlessly align layouts with our productivity tools,” said Alexander von Fritsch, thinkcell CEO. “And there’s more to come. We’re already working on the next leap forward by integrating the reasoning power of AI into the thinkcell Suite. We’re excited to have found a way that will add significant value and further streamline the slide creation process,” said von Fritsch.

“These innovations demonstrate our commitment to providing value to all of a company’s power users, not just those that make charts. thinkcell 14 is a great opportunity for customers to increase efficiency by bringing all their PowerPoint users onto one platform.”
