Web vs desktop PowerPoint — the real differences
- Web has: templates, Designer suggestions, animations/transitions (core set), co-authoring, present-in-browser.
- Desktop-only: Presenter Coach depth, Morph fine control, embedded fonts/video handling, export to video, offline presenting (present from a laptop with no Wi-Fi — the one that matters).
- Rule: building the deck → web is fine. Presenting where Wi-Fi may betray you → desktop.
FAQ
Is PowerPoint free to download?
Web and mobile versions: free with a Microsoft account. Desktop: Microsoft 365 subscription or one-time Office purchase.
Can I present offline with the free version?
Web PowerPoint needs a connection. For offline presenting, use the desktop app (M365 trial covers it) or export the deck to PDF as a fallback.
Does the free web version open .pptx files?
Yes — upload to OneDrive and edit in the browser; formatting, animations and embedded media mostly carry over.
