The PPT file extension stands for Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation File. It is a slideshow presentation file created by Microsoft PowerPoint. PPT is the most commonly used file type for presentations, which makes up the majority of Microsoft Office documents.
A PPT file contains slides used in a presentation that can include images, text, animations, and other objects. It has an associated .PPTX file extension, which is used when saving updated versions of an already existing presentation. Generally, the content of a PowerPoint presentation is stored in frames or slides. Each slide may contain text, graphics or multimedia files.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions include .POTX, .PPS, and .PPSX, which are associated with different versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.
Associated Software
PPT files are primarily associated with Microsoft PowerPoint, but they can also be opened and viewed using other compatible software programs such as Keynote, Google Slides, and LibreOffice Impress. Nevertheless, it must be noted that these programs cannot save changes to the PPT format.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PPT) 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 .PPT 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 .PPT 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 .PPT 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 .PPT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PPT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PPT 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 .PPT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PPT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PPT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
