What is a PPTX file, exactly?
A.PPTX file is a presentation file in the PowerPoint Open XML Format. Microsoft PowerPoint files created in PowerPoint 2007 and later have the PPTX file extension. Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation programme that lets you make slide shows with images, text, music, and video. The Microsoft Office Suite includes the PowerPoint software.
The.ppt file extension was used by earlier versions of Microsoft PowerPoint. Because the Open XML format is used in later versions of PowerPoint, the.pptx extension is assigned. This format lets PowerPoint files to be compressed into smaller sizes, making them easier to transmit online and taking up less space on a user’s hard disc.
The contents of PPTX files are compressed using a combination of XML and ZIP. Formatted text, objects, multiple slides, photos, movies, and more can all be found in PPTX files.
PowerPoint 2007 and newer use the PPTX presentation file format as the default. PPT, which was used in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and earlier, is an older version of the PPTX file.
How to Open PPTX file on Windows
If you have a PPTX file that you only want to look at and not edit, you may do it quickly and easily using Microsoft’s free PowerPoint Viewer application. You can’t modify anything or edit the slides as you can with a full version of Microsoft PowerPoint, but it’s a lifesaver if all you need to do is flip through a PPTX presentation someone handed you.
Without possessing a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint, you can open and modify PPTX files using the free WPS Office Presentation or OpenOffice Impress presentation tools. These are just two of several free Microsoft Office alternatives that can open and work with PPTX files.
There are also various free presentation producers that can import PPTX files and edit them online without the need for any software to be installed. One of them, Google Slides, allows you to upload a PPTX file from your computer, make changes to it, and then save it to your Google Drive account or save it as a PPTX or another format, such as PDF.
Google also offers a free browser extension that functions as a PPTX viewer and editor and runs directly within the Chrome browser. This applies not only to PPTX files you drag into the browser from your computer, but also to any PPTX file you open from the internet, including those you may get via email. Other MS Office formats, such as XLSX and DOCX, are also supported by this browser extension.
If you wish to extract photos from a PPTX file, you can use a file unzip programme to do it. Open the PowerPoint file as an archive with one of those programmes, such as 7-Zip, and then navigate to ppt > media to see all of the images that were imported into the slide show. You can copy any images you like from the PowerPoint presentation.
If you’d rather store, open, and edit all your Office Open XML files in the cloud, you can do so by uploading your document via PowerPoint Online or Google Slides.
