How to Open PPT File?
You can open PPT files with Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows or with Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac.
PowerPoint is the best application for opening PPT files because it fully supports the formatting of the presentations, which includes the placement of text, slide transitions and effects, and images and shapes in the presentation.
PowerPoint is also available for Android and iOS devices.
There are a large number of other presentation programs that can open and edit PPT files but they may not fully support the formatting of the presentation files. Alternative programs include Corel Presentations (Windows), Apple Keynote (Mac), and Apache OpenOffice Impress (multiplatform).
If you are a Mac user simply looking to view a PPT file, you can use Apple Preview, which comes bundled with macOS. You can also open PPT files with various web programs. Google Slides is a free option you can access with a Google account. The web tool allows you to upload a PPT file and view, edit, save, and convert the presentation.
