Microsoft PowerPoint Picture Storage Format | Microsoft | Database Files |
PCS (PowerPoint Picture Storage) is a file extension used by Microsoft PowerPoint as a storage for graphical objects and images. The PCS file is composed of more than one element, which can include line art, audio, photos, clip art, and 3D models. It is particularly useful for power users who prefer to use pcxs, the higher quality version.
The PCS file is normally found in various system-created folders inside the program directory in which the PowerPoint presentation was created. This ensures quick access to the materials that are used in the presentation when it is played. The PCS file can be opened using MS PowerPoint and other compatible image editing applications including Adobe Photoshop, CorelDraw, Xara, and Paint Shop Pro.
Similar File Types
Some of the similar file types include .pcx, .pcc, .psd, .bmp, .tga, and jpg.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PCS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .PCS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .PCS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .PCS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .PCS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PCS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PCS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .PCS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PCS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PCS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
