Cloud storage is getting increasingly more traction these days, so being computer-bound isn’t trendy anymore. While you might use and like Microsoft PowerPoint<\/a>, sometimes you need to share the creation, collaborate on it online, make the same for different operating systems, or present in a setting where you can’t use hard drives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article talks about converting the PowerPoint file into a Google Slides document<\/strong>. We discuss two viable and slightly different options.<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Upload the file to Google Drive<\/h2>\"How

    The first method is as straightforward as it can get. Follow the steps below to get the presentation running.<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Open Google Drive, find the relevant folder, and upload the original PowerPoint file<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Right-click it and navigate to Open with > Google Slides<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Go to File > Save as Google Slides<\/span><\/p>\n

    (Optional) Delete the initial upload to avoid confusion<\/span><\/p>\n

    From here, you can open the presentation, make adjustments, and have it on the cloud, accessible from everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>

  2. Import slides<\/h2>\"How

    While the method above shows how to import and convert the whole document, the second one gives you more granular control of which pages to keep.<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Start an empty Google Slides file<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Go to File > Import slides<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Click Upload > Select a file from your device<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Browse presentation and click “Open”<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Select the individual pages<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Decide if you want to keep the original theme, and click “Import slides”<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Delete the blank slide and make adjustments if needed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      An alternative way is to choose an uploaded .PPT file from the “Presentations” tab in the “Import slides” window instead of uploading it from your computer. Next, you just need to take the rest of the steps as described above.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ol><\/div>
