| Description | PPS is a file format used for Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. It is a binary file format that contains the presentation data, including slides, images, multimedia, and text. The PPS file format is essentially the same as the PPT file format, but it is designed to be used as a slideshow, with automatic transitions between slides. |
| Technical details | PPS files can be opened and edited using Microsoft PowerPoint or other software applications that support the file format, such as LibreOffice Impress or WPS Office Presentation. The file format is also compatible with PowerPoint Viewer, a free application that allows users to view and play PPS files without having PowerPoint installed on their computer. The PPS file format is based on the Compound File Binary Format, which is a file format used for storing structured data in files. The format contains several streams, including the presentation data, metadata, and other information. The format also includes a header that contains information about the file, such as the file size, creation date, and modification date. |
