Google Slides and PowerPoint are two of the most popular presentation packages on the market today. Although both programs can be used to create, edit and save presentations, they do not share all the same features. Therefore, if you are looking to convert your PowerPoint files to Google Slides, you should be prepared for a little bit of a learning curve.
First, you need to make sure that you have a Google account. You can sign up for one online. The next step is to upload your PowerPoint file to Google Drive. Once you have uploaded it, you will be able to edit it.
Next, you will be able to view your Google Slides presentation in the browser. If you are using Chrome or Firefox, you will see a dialog box that will allow you to open the file.

Once you have opened the document, you will be able to change your fonts. You can also make changes to the entire slide by editing it directly. As a result, you should be able to create an effective presentation that will be able to stand out. However, you should be careful about what you choose to share. Some online files can contain harmful macros or viruses, so you need to be careful.
The Google Slides presentation is then saved in your Downloads folder. You can also save your presentation by clicking on the file icon on the top left of the window. This prevents you from losing your file. It is best to send the Google Slides as an attachment instead of a link.
Alternatively, you can download a single Slides file from Google Drive. If you want to download multiple files, you can do so in a zipped format. Depending on how many slides you want to download, you can either select each file individually or select all of them in the drop-down menu.
After you have finished the conversion, you should be able to go back and make further adjustments to your presentation. You can even add hyperlinks. In some cases, you may need to reposition or resize the images. But in most cases, the conversion is seamless.

Finally, you will be able to share your presentation with other users. If you need to share it with a specific person, you can send it to them as an email attachment. By doing this, you will be able to avoid any potential problems with the recipient’s internet connection. Of course, you should always double check that your presentation is safe before sharing it with others.
Converting your PowerPoint files to Google Slides is easy, but it requires a little bit of patience and time. This process will allow you to convert all of your PowerPoint presentations. Keep in mind that some of the slides in your file will have a yellow PPTX file extension. Also, keep in mind that some features of the original PowerPoint will not be converted.
