How it works

Three steps to your converted file

Everything happens in your browser tab - upload, pick a format, download. The heavy lifting runs on our servers.

01

Upload your file

Drag and drop, click to browse, or paste a URL. Batches take up to 20 files at once - 230+ input formats across video, audio, image, document, and archive types.

02

Choose an output format

Pick from over a hundred output formats. Filter by category or search by name - every option is open to everyone, no account needed.

03

Convert & download

Hit Convert and grab your download link moments later. Originals are erased when the job completes; results are cleared within about an hour.

What is a PPT file?

The PPT format is the legacy binary file standard used by Microsoft PowerPoint from versions 97 through 2003. It utilizes the Compound File Binary Format (CFBF), a structured storage container that organizes data into streams and storages, functioning primarily as a file system within a file. PPT files store presentation data-including text, embedded images, audio, and formatting-in binary records rather than XML, which results in larger file sizes and higher corruption risks compared to the modern OOXML standard.

How to open a PPT file

Modern versions of Microsoft PowerPoint retain backward compatibility for opening and saving PPT files. Native support is also available in macOS via Keynote and in Linux distributions via LibreOffice Impress or OpenOffice Impress. Google Slides provides cloud-based rendering of PPT files, though complex formatting or legacy OLE objects may require conversion to the newer Google Slides format for full editing capabilities.

What is a PNG file?

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression, created as a patent-free replacement for the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). Standardized as ISO/IEC 15948:2004, PNG utilizes the DEFLATE compression algorithm (a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding) and supports palette-based images, grayscale, and full-color non-palette-based RGB/RGBA images. A defining feature is its alpha channel support, allowing for variable transparency levels, unlike the binary transparency of GIF. It does not support animation but offers gamma correction and interlacing via the Adam7 algorithm.

How to open a PNG file

PNG files possess near-universal compatibility across all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS) and web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) without requiring additional software. Default image viewers such as Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, and virtually all graphics editing software including GIMP, Adobe Photoshop, and Paint.NET natively handle the format.
