PowerPoint Viewer Highlights
View at zero cost, no need to install the full version of Office
Completely free: Users can open and play slides directly without purchasing a Microsoft 365 subscription or installing the bulky PowerPoint program.
Lightweight stand-alone program: Early versions (such as the 2010 version) are only about 60MB and can be run directly after downloading. They do not rely on other Office components and are suitable for temporary use or old computers.

Old formats: .ppt (PowerPoint 97-2003), .pps (show file).
New version format: .pptx (PowerPoint 2007 and later), .ppsx (new version show file).
Retain complex elements: animations, transition effects, embedded video/audio, charts, SmartArt, etc. can all play normally to ensure that the presentation effect is not compromised.
Quick startup and smooth playback
Open files in seconds: Compared with launching the full version of PowerPoint (which requires loading plug-ins, fonts, etc.), Viewer can directly open files faster and is suitable for emergency viewing or conference presentations.
Low resource usage: It requires very little CPU and memory, and can run smoothly even on old computers (such as Windows XP systems).
