Free product roadmap creator — no signup, 4K image for PowerPoint
A product roadmap creator that opens with nine items across four themes, sorted into Now, Next and Later, plus a leadership view that drops Later and hides owner and status. Change an item once and both views are current. Export either one as a 4K image for your slide. It’s free, with no account.
| Spec | |
|---|---|
What it makes | One roadmap document — items, fields, and a saved view per audience |
Starting structure | Four themes, three stages and nine items, one of them a milestone, all editable |
Views | Table, board and timeline over the same items. Hiding a field changes the view and leaves the value in the file |
Image export | PNG or SVG at 3840 × 2160 for 16:9, 3072 × 2304 for 4:3, or a custom size, always drawn in the light theme |
Other exports | CSV, Markdown, and the full JSON document |
Where it saves | Your browser, plus a file you download or keep open on disk. |
What you get when you open it
Nine items across four themes (acquisition, activation, retention and platform), each in Now, Next or Later, with real quarters underneath. Both are there on purpose: outside readers get the stage, and you plan against the quarters.
Three views are saved. The board is the one you work in, the leadership timeline drops Later and hides owner and status, and a table shows every field. It’s the same nine items, so changing one on the board updates the timeline too.
Each item describes something a customer would notice, like "Signup without a sales call". Keep that habit when you replace them with your own.
Putting it in the deck
Any saved view renders into the frame you choose. Ask for 16:9 and you get a 4K image, 3840 × 2160, scaled so nothing at the right-hand edge disappears. It’s always drawn in the light theme, so it never arrives dark on somebody else’s projector.
What lands in your downloads is a picture for the slide. A .pptx of movable shapes would be a second copy of the roadmap, which is the thing this tool exists to remove. When the plan changes, export again and swap the picture.
What to put on it, and what to leave off
One test covers items and fields alike: would it change a decision the reader can make? The guide to what to include in a product roadmap runs that test field by field, including the three things that belong on a delivery document instead.
Want a fuller worked example? The Product roadmap template opens with ten items and four saved views. For a plainer start that groups by team, use the Roadmap maker.
Common mistakes
Naming items after the feature you have in mind. A problem statement survives being wrong about the solution. A feature name has to be rewritten, and its history goes with it.
Building one roadmap per audience. Two documents drift, and the one leadership reads is usually the older one.
Showing Later to anyone outside the team. Every item in it reads as a promise, and a queue you didn’t mean to publish becomes one you appear to manage.
Leaving owner and status on the leadership view. They’re the two fields that turn a conversation about sequence into one about a person.
Questions
What’s set up when it opens?
Four themes, a Now, Next and Later board, and a leadership timeline that drops Later and hides owner and status. Both views read the same nine items, so changing one changes both.
Does it export a .pptx file?
No. You get a 4K image that fills a 16:9 slide. Paste it into PowerPoint or Google Slides, and export again when the plan changes.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
It’s free, and there’s no account. The roadmap is a .roadmap.json file that stays with you.
