Convert PPS to PPTX

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 PPTX file extension, denoting Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation, is a key format utilized for creating and delivering multimedia presentations. Originating from PowerPoint 2007, it succeeded the older PPT format by incorporating the Open XML standard, enhancing data management and reducing file size. Predominantly, PPTX files facilitate the integration of text, images, video, and audio, thus enabling robust, interactive presentations. As an indispensable tool in professional and educational domains, PPTX files significantly improve the conveyance of information and ideas.
