What is PPT to PPTX?

PPT to PPTX upgrades legacy Microsoft PowerPoint .ppt files (Office 97–2003 binary format) to the modern .pptx format (Office Open XML). PPTX files are smaller, more compatible, and supported by all modern apps.

How It Works

The legacy .ppt format is a complex binary format (Compound Document File Format) that cannot be decoded in the browser without a full server-side Office engine. The steps below explain how to convert .ppt to .pptx for free using desktop software or free online services.

  • PPTX is supported by PowerPoint, LibreOffice, Google Slides, and all modern apps
  • Open XML format is more repairable and future-proof
  • Free tools exist to convert without buying Office
