Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides are popular presentation creators. But if you prefer Google Slides, you need to have a PowerPoint slideshow or a PPTX file that you wish to convert to Google Slides.

Below is how you can do it in three different ways.

Convert a PowerPoint by Uploading to Google Slides

首先,您需要上传PowerPoint presentation to the Google Slides website. Open it in "Slides" and make your changes. It will save automatically, according toHowtoGeek.

Next, go to Google Slides, sign in and select "Blank" below the "Start a New Presentation" on the main page. When the Blank presentation opens, choose "File" then "Open" from the menu that pops up.

In the pop-up window, choose the "Upload" tab and drag your PPTX file onto the window or select "Select a File From Your Device."

You will see the slideshow open in Google Slides as your active presentation. The name of the slideshow is the name of the PowerPoint file. You can change it if you want by clicking the text in the upper left corner.

From there, you are set to edit or present the slideshow. Since all of the changes are saved automatically, you do not have to take another step in order to save the presentation as a Google Slides file.

You can also visit the Google Slides main page to see your presentation in the list. You can also access your presentation from Google Drive, according toBusiness Insider.

PowerPoint presentations that are filled with pictures and videos可以转换ed as well.

Convert PowerPoint by Importing to Google Slides

Another way that you can convert your presentation from a PowerPoint to Google Slides is by importing it.

The benefit to this method is that you can choose the slides that you want to convert if you do not want the entire presentation.

Choose "Blank" on the main Google Slides screen. When the untitled presentation opens, you can choose "File" then "Import Slides" from the menu.

Select the Upload tab. You can either drag your PowerPoint slideshow file onto the window or you can click "Select a File From Your Device" to browse for, select, and open the file.

When the Import Slides window appears, choose each slide that you want to use in Google Slides. If you want to use them all, just click "All" next to Select Slides located on the top right.

When the slides you selected open in the blank presentation, click the name on the top left to rename it. By default, the slideshow will be named "Untitled Presentation."

Your changes save automatically, and you can access your converted presentation from the main Google Slides page or Google Drive, according toLife Wire.

Convert PowerPoint by Uploading to Google Drive

Another way to convert a PowerPoint to Google Slides is by uploading the file to Google Drive. This method might be more convenient if you happen to have Google Drive open already.

Locate and select your PowerPoint file, then click "Open." After the file uploads to Google Drive, right-click it and select "Open With" and "Google Slides."

The presentation will open in Google Slides but remain a PowerPoint file as you can see next to the name on the top left. Click "File" and "Save" as Google Slide from the menu to convert it.
