What is PPTX?
PPTX is Microsoft PowerPoint's modern presentation format, introduced with Office 2007. It replaced the older PPT format and remains the standard for PowerPoint documents today.
PPTX files use the Office Open XML standard (ISO 29500), storing slides, text, images, and multimedia as compressed XML. This makes files smaller than PPT, more secure (no macros by default), and more compatible with other software.
PPTX supports advanced features including modern animations, transitions, embedded fonts, 3D effects, and high-resolution media that weren't possible in the older format.
Why Convert PPTX Files?
PPTX conversion addresses many practical needs:
- Universal sharing – PDF format lets anyone view your presentation without PowerPoint
- Image export – Convert slides to JPG or PNG for websites, social media, or other uses
- Legacy compatibility – PPT format for users with older PowerPoint versions
- Open standards – ODP format works with LibreOffice Impress
- Video creation – Export presentations as video files
- Creating PPTX – Convert PDF, images, or other formats TO PPTX for editing
