.ppt file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .ppt file is a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint, containing slides with text, images, animations, and transition effects. The .ppt format is the legacy binary version of PowerPoint's native format, predating the XML-based .pptx format introduced with Office 2007. While .pptx has since become the standard, .ppt files remain widely supported for backwards compatibility across modern presentation software.

LIZ AI works natively with PowerPoint .ppt and .pptx files. It reads your existing decks, updates data-driven content automatically, and writes back brand-compliant slides — without any manual rework.
