A popular software application developed by Microsoft. PowerPoint is widely used for creating presentations and slideshows. It allows users to design and structure slides with text, images, graphics, and multimedia elements such as videos and audio. PowerPoint presentations are commonly used in business, education, and various other settings to convey information in a visually engaging and organized manner. The files created using PowerPoint have the .ppt or .pptx file extension:
- PPT: This is the file extension used for presentations created in older versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, primarily in versions prior to PowerPoint 2007. PPT files are in a binary file format and may contain macros and embedded objects.
- PPTX: PPTX is the file extension for presentations created in newer versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, starting from PowerPoint 2007 and onwards. PPTX files are based on the Office Open XML format, which is an open and XML-based file format. PPTX files are more compact, and they are less prone to issues like macro-related security risks compared to PPT files.
