Want to convert your PowerPoint presentations and open them in Google Slides? Here's how to do it easily.
Google Slides and PowerPoint are both powerful tools for creating presentations. Though PowerPoint might be more equipped and reputable, Google Slides has the advantage of being in sync with Google Drive.
With Google Slides, you can share your presentations, and work with your team on the same presentation online in real-time. But what if you want the best of both worlds? Is it possible to create presentations with PowerPoint, but open them with Google Slides? Absolutely! Read on to find out how exactly you can do this.
Google Slides supports many common presentation formats including PPTX, PPT, POTM, POTX, and more. The latest versions of Microsoft PowerPoint use the PPTX extension, and luckily, Google Slides supports this format.
Google Slides doesn't require you to make any changes to the original PowerPoint presentation. You can seamlessly open PowerPoint files with a couple of clicks.
Just like that, you can now view and share your PowerPoint presentation in Google Slides. The themes and styling present in the PowerPoint presentations will stay intact.
In some cases, rather than the whole thing, you might want to implement only some slides in a PowerPoint presentation into a Google Slides presentation. Thanks to the Google Slides' Import slides feature, you can directly import the slides to Google Slides and won't have to recreate them.
The PowerPoint slides that you just selected will now show up in your Google Slides presentation. If the elements in your PowerPoint slides were editable, then they will be editable in Google Slides as well. Just like before, the themes and styles used in the PowerPoint slides will be transferred as well.
PowerPoint and Google Slides are both capable presentation tools, and deciding which is the best ultimately boils down to your preferences.
However, if you're looking to present your PowerPoint presentation with Google Slides, or to import a couple of slides, Google Slides has made that easy. You can move your presentation or bits of it to Google Slides with just a couple of clicks.
