PowerPoint presentations are a staple in many industries, from business meetings to classroom lessons. Sharing a PowerPoint presentation isn’t as simple as emailing it. File sizes, compatibility issues, and slow upload times can all cause frustration.
In this blog, we will walk you through an easy and quick way of opening and sharing your presentation files, that too without spending a single penny.
What Is a PPTX File?
PPTX is a file extension for a presentation file format used by Microsoft PowerPoint. The “X” in PPTX stands for XML, which is used to encode the files. Introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, PPTX files replaced the older PPT format.
PPTX files allow you to create presentations in which you can incorporate text, graphics, animations, links, and other elements to convey your message effectively. Unlike older PPT files, PPTX files are less prone to corruption, and they tend to have smaller file sizes, which makes them efficient to use.
Common Uses of PPTX Files
PPTX files are incredibly versatile, making them a go-to choice for creating and sharing visual presentations across a wide range of fields and applications. Here are just a few of the ways you can create PPTX files to communicate your ideas and engage your audience:
- Business presentations: Whether you’re presenting data to your team, pitching a new strategy to your boss, or delivering a proposal to a client, PPTX files allow you to create professional, visually compelling presentations that drive your point home.
- Educational purposes: If you’re a teacher, you can use PPTX files to create engaging lesson plans and interactive classroom activities. And if you’re a student, PPTX files are perfect for putting together presentations for your projects and assignments.
- Marketing materials: With PPTX files, you can create stunning marketing presentations that capture your audience’s attention and communicate your message with clarity and impact.
- Personal projects: PPTX files provide a fun and easy way to bring your ideas to life and share them with the people who matter most.

FAQs: How to Read and Share a PPTX File
Can I password-protect individual slides in my PPTX file?
While Tiiny Host allows you to password-protect your entire PPTX file, it does not currently support password protection for individual slides within a presentation. If you need to restrict access to specific slides, one workaround is to create separate PPTX files for the protected content and share them with a different password or only with authorized users.
How can I track who has viewed my shared PPTX file?
With one of the premium plans, Tiiny Host allows you to track analytics of your file which can be helpful. Additionally, if you need specifications of people who have checked the file, there is an option to capture e-mail IDs that can help you track individuals who have viewed the shared file.
