What is PPTX file?
A PPTX .PPTX file is a Microsoft PowerPoint Open XML Presentation file that stores visual content such as slides and images. The contents of a PPTX file are generated using the PowerPoint application and stored in an Open XML (Extensible Markup Language) format, which is based on the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) and replaces the older PPT format from earlier versions of PowerPoint. This format allows users to create multimedia presentations as well as modify existing ones. [ ⏩ ] PPTX file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from PPTA to PPTX?
To successfully convert the PPTA file to PPTX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.PPTA). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case PPTX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than PPTX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. PPTA to PPTX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting PPTA files to PPTX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension PPTX, while before this step we had the PPTA file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new PPTX file, or not.
