All text on this slide (tables too)
Backgrounds, text, pictures and simple shapes are drawn. Charts, SmartArt, tables and animations are not — the words of a table are listed under the slide. Old .ppt files cannot be opened.
About the PPTX Viewer
A teacher, a client or a colleague sent you a PowerPoint file, and you have no PowerPoint. This free PPTX viewer opens the deck in your browser. Look at it one slide at a time, or see all slides at once as a grid.
Under each slide you find its speaker notes — the text the presenter wrote for themselves — and all the words on the slide, ready to copy. You can even present the deck full screen with the arrow keys.
The file is never uploaded. It is opened on your own device.
Features
- One slide or all slides — big view with Previous / Next, or a grid of every slide
- Speaker notes — shown under each slide, when the deck has them
- Full screen — present with the arrow keys, Page Down or a click
- All the text — the words of each slide, tables included, to read or copy
- Print — one slide per page, or each slide with its notes
- PNG of a slide — save the slide you are looking at as a picture
- Private — nothing is uploaded, no sign-up
Why a .pptx file will not open
A .pptx file is the PowerPoint format since 2007: a ZIP package with every slide as XML and the pictures as files. Without Microsoft Office, a phone or a computer often has no program for it. A .ppsx file is the same deck saved to start as a slide show — this viewer opens it too.
What the viewer draws, and what it does not
| On the slide | Shown? |
|---|---|
| Background colour | Yes |
| Titles, text boxes, bullet lists | Yes |
| Pictures and photos | Yes, also cropped ones |
| Simple shapes with a fill | Yes |
| Speaker notes | Yes, under the slide |
| Tables | The words, in "All text on this slide" — not drawn |
| Charts, SmartArt, 3-D, video | No |
| Animations and transitions | No — each slide shows its final state |
| Theme fonts and theme colours | Partly — fonts come from your computer |
So a deck made mainly of text and pictures looks close to the original. A deck full of charts shows the slides with the charts missing. To check those, open the file in PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice Impress or Google Slides.
Old .ppt files (PowerPoint 97–2003) use another format and cannot be opened here.
Frequently asked questions
How do I open a .pptx file without PowerPoint?
Drop the file on the box at the top of this page. The first slide appears at once. Use Previous / Next or the arrow keys to move, or switch to All slides.
How can I see the speaker notes?
They are shown under the slide, in the box called Speaker notes. To print them, tick "Print the speaker notes under each slide" and click Print.
Can I present the slides?
Yes. Click Full screen, then use the right arrow, Page Down, the space bar or a click for the next slide, and the left arrow for the one before. Press Esc to leave.
Can I edit the slides?
No, this is a viewer. Copy the text with Copy all text, or open the file in a presentation program to change it.
How do I turn the deck into a PDF?
Click Save as PDF. It opens PowerPoint to PDF: drop the same file there to get one slide per page.
Is my presentation uploaded?
No. Your browser reads the file. It is never sent to a server.
