PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation (PPTM) is a Microsoft PowerPoint deck that is allowed to contain VBA macros. Presenters use macros to build interactive quizzes, custom navigation buttons, timers, and slides that pull in live data. Apart from the macro component, a PPTM is structurally identical to PPTX — a ZIP package of Open XML parts — and the separate extension exists purely so the file name signals that code may run.
Microsoft PowerPoint opens PPTM and shows a security warning before macros are allowed to run. Enable them only if you trust the sender.
LibreOffice Impress displays PPTM slides correctly, but VBA macros may not work as intended. Google Slides imports the deck and discards the macros. To view the content with no macro risk, save it as PPTX or convert it with our PPTM to PDF tool.

PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (PPT) is the original binary format of Microsoft PowerPoint, the default from the late 1980s until PowerPoint 2007 introduced PPTX. A PPT file stores slides, text, images, transitions, speaker notes, and any embedded audio or video in a single proprietary structure. Being binary rather than XML, it is larger, more susceptible to corruption, and able to carry macros, which makes unexpected PPT attachments worth treating carefully.
Every current version of PowerPoint still opens PPT in Compatibility Mode and offers to convert it to the newer PPTX format.
Google Slides, LibreOffice Impress, and Apple Keynote all read PPT. Because Microsoft has steadily reduced support for the legacy format, converting your presentations is worthwhile — try our PPT to PPTX or PPT to PDF tool.
