What to expect

  • .pps files are not protected - recipients can open them in edit mode via File > Open in PowerPoint, or simply rename the file back to .ppt.
  • For recipients on PowerPoint 2007 or later, .ppsx is the modern equivalent and produces smaller, better-compatible files.
  • LibreOffice handles most .ppt files reliably, but complex animations or embedded fonts may not render identically to PowerPoint.

Frequently asked questions

Can I just rename .ppt to .pps?
Yes - both extensions use the same binary format, so renaming works. Using Save As inside the application is slightly safer, as some editors write a small header flag marking the file as a show.
Does converting PPT to PPS lose anything?
No - slides, animations, embedded images, audio, and video are identical; only the launch behavior changes.
Is .pps or .ppsx better?
If recipients use PowerPoint 2007 or later, .ppsx is the better choice - it is smaller and supports modern formatting features. Use .pps only when compatibility with very old software (PowerPoint 97-2003) is required.
Can LibreOffice Impress open a .pps file?
Yes - LibreOffice Impress opens .pps files for editing the same way it handles .ppt files.
