PowerPoint Alternatives: What's available?

Because PowerPoint is part of Microsoft Office, you can only use the program by purchasing a paid version of Office. If you are looking for an alternative because of this or because you are not satisfied with PowerPoint, here is an overview of the best free presentation programs.

These are the best available alternatives to PowerPoint

PowerPoint is among the most popular programs for creating your own presentations. However, using PowerPoint is only possible if you have a paid version of MS Office. If you do not want to spend money on a presentation program, there are a variety of alternative programs.

1. An English-only alternative is Presentation Free. The program is completely free and available as a desktop program to install on your computer. Since all created presentations are saved with the same extensions that PowerPoint uses, they can be opened with both programs.
2. Not only available for the PC, but also as an Android app, is the presentation program Zoho Show. In addition to the ability to create and edit presentations, Zoho Show also has an organization tool and a sharing function.

OpenOffice Impress as an alternative to PowerPoint

If you already use an MS Office replacement such as OpenOffice on your PC or laptop, this also contains a program for creating presentations. This is called OpenOffice Impress and is very similar to PowerPoint in terms of features. In addition to text input, Impress also lets you add images and videos to your presentations, as well as create your own diagrams. In addition, Impress has a variety of ready-made designs and templates that you can use to design your presentations.
