Presentious: Add Audio To PowerPoint Slides & Share Them Online

Last updated on June 16th, 2024

While we have reviewed an extensive range of web services which enable sharing PowerPoint files online, Presentious seems to be the most promising of them all.

This is because it provides a variety of options for importing presentation files, such as from PowerPoint, Keynote, PDF and Open Document format, as well as via online web services. Moreover, it gives elaborate privacy features with the option to add audio to your shared slides. The best thing is that Presentious is completely free and it doesn’t take much to get used to it.

Import Files from PowerPoint, Keynote, OpenDocument & PDF Formats

The one thing you might really find out of the ordinary is support for importing Keynote files. However, during testing we failed to import a KEY file. While this might sound like a downside but despite the hiccup with the KEY format we had no issues importing PowerPoint files. You can use PPT or PPTX formats for uploading PowerPoint files. The other supported formats include; PDF and OpenDocument (ODP).
