Create collaboration-ready files
Convert any PPT file into the XML-based PPTX format to make it accessible to modern presentation software. Want to work together on the slides before converting them to PPTX? You can share your presentation project with collaborators, so they can edit, comment, and tag teammates on the go. You can even expand a slide to a whiteboard(opens in a new tab or window) where you have unlimited space to bring together your best ideas.
Both are Microsoft PowerPoint presentation file extensions. PPT is the original file format compatible with PowerPoint 97 to 2003. The file tends to be larger and isn't fully compatible with some modern platforms.
PPTX is the modern file extension. It’s more compact, more stable, and less prone to file corruption. It’s compatible with cloud-based platforms, making it easier to share, and it supports advanced presentation features. Turn your PPT to PPTX using our free converter to make your slides ready for modern viewers.
You can convert PPT to PPTX for free on our platform, and you can do a lot more with your file before conversion. You can edit it manually on the editing platform or use premium AI tools to refresh its look and feel within seconds. If you’re tasked to standardize old company files to reflect your current branding, set up a Brand Kit (Pro) and easily apply your visual branding.
While “new” isn’t always “better,” in the case of presentations, PPTX is better than PPT in several ways:
PPTX is widely supported by modern tools and platforms, so it’s easier to access.
PPTX files are compressed, so they're easier to send and store.
PPTX supports a wider range of multimedia elements compared to PPT, so it’s more reliable for media-rich slides.
PPTX has better recovery and error-handling capabilities.

@canva is simply outstanding as a tool to create designs. Using Canva is such a seamless experience that once you sit down to design, you don't feel like getting up. It's addictive and useful. Keep going Canva. I use Canva every day – I couldn’t do my job without it. The ability to style logos is my favorite
