Convert PPS to POTX

The PPS file extension, short for PowerPoint Slide Show, is a legacy format used by Microsoft PowerPoint versions prior to 2007. It represents a completed slide show that opens directly in presentation mode, unlike the PPT format which opens in edit mode. PPS files are used for distributing and presenting finalized presentations. While newer versions of PowerPoint use the PPSX extension for similar purposes, PPS files are still supported by various presentation software and can be opened with Microsoft PowerPoint, OpenOffice Impress, and Google Slides.

The POTX file extension, representing Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation Template, is a crucial format in professional IT environments for creating consistent, reusable slide designs. Introduced with PowerPoint 2007, it utilizes the Office Open XML format for enhanced compatibility and reduced file size. POTX templates allow for predefined layout, color schemes, fonts, and content, streamlining the presentation creation process and ensuring brand uniformity across multiple presentations. Its adoption has significantly improved efficiency and standardized communication in various organizational contexts.
