What is a .PPSX file?
A .PPSX file is a type of file used to store a slide show presentation. It is primarily created using Microsoft PowerPoint, a popular presentation software. However, it can also be made with other programs like OpenOffice Impress or SoftMaker Presentations. The content in a PPSX file includes a series of slides that are ready to be shown directly as a slide show. This means that when you double-click a PPSX file, it automatically starts the slide show instead of opening in an editable mode like its counterpart, the .PPTX file, which opens as a PowerPoint file that you can edit.
The .PPSX file is convenient for sharing presentations that are intended to be viewed rather than modified. It preserves the formatting and the layout of the slides as intended by the creator.
To open a .PPSX file, you can use various programs depending on your operating system: - **Windows**: Microsoft PowerPoint 365, OpenOffice Impress, Kingsoft Presentation, Corel Presentations 2021, SoftMaker Office, Ability Office, File Viewer Plus (available from Microsoft Store). - **MacOS**: Microsoft PowerPoint 365, Apple Keynote (included with the OS), Apple Preview (included with the OS). - **Web**: Google Slides, Ascensio System SIA OnlyOffice. - **iOS**: Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, MobiSystems OfficeSuite Pro, Google Drive, Ascensio System SIA OnlyOffice. - **Android**: Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, MobiSystems OfficeSuite Pro, Google Drive, File Viewer for Android, Ascensio System SIA OnlyOffice. - **Chrome OS**: Google Slides.
These programs allow you to view, and in some cases, edit PPSX files. For instance, while Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides provide full functionality for editing and playing slide shows, other programs might only support viewing the slide show without editing capabilities.
