About formats

POTX

POTX is a Microsoft PowerPoint Template format that defines reusable slide layouts, themes, and boilerplate content for new presentations. POTX files are used to ensure consistent styling across presentations within an organization. POTX can be opened and edited in PowerPoint and converted to a regular PPTX file for use as a presentation.

PPSX

PPSX is a Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show format that opens directly in slide-show (read-only presentation) mode rather than editing mode. PPSX is structured identically to PPTX, but the .ppsx extension signals that the file is intended to be displayed, not edited. PPSX is used for distributing finished PowerPoint presentations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting POTX to PPSX free?
Yes. This POTX → PPSX converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert POTX to PPSX?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my POTX files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire POTX → PPSX conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple POTX files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many POTX files as you like and convert them to PPSX in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting POTX to PPSX lose quality?
No. PPSX is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your POTX file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Will transparency be preserved when converting POTX to PPSX?
Yes. Both POTX and PPSX support alpha-channel transparency, so transparent areas of your file are kept unchanged in the PPSX output.
How will the file size change after converting POTX to PPSX?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the PPSX output will be similar in size to your POTX file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
