Free PowerPoint Download We frequently get asked about where we can find a free download of PowerPoint.

The answer depends upon what you are looking to do - viewing or creating PowerPoint Files.

However you can view and create PowerPoint in programmes that are free.

To view PowerPoint files

If someone has sent you a PowerPoint file you can download a free PowerPoint Viewer from the Microsoft Website.

Simply click on the link

Free PowerPoint 2003 Viewer

and you will be able to download the free viewer.

Please let me know if the link needs to be updated.

To download a free 60 day trial of PowerPoint

Microsoft are offering a free 60 day trial of Microsoft Office which contains Microsoft PowerPoint. This will give you 60 days of free PowerPoint usage. After this period you will have to purchase the software.

According to the Microsoft Website over 1 million people have downloaded a copy of this software.

OpenOffice - Free alternative to PowerPoint

OpenOffice Impress
While a full version of PowerPoint could cost you over £300, there is a very good open source alternative. And what is better it is free too. It is part of the Open Office suite and it is called Impress. It features most of the features of PowerPoint and also a few more features such as the ability to export a presentation to a simple Flash file.

To download Open Office Impress click on the link

Open Office Impress

One of the most impressive features about Impress is that it is that it’s user interface is just like PowerPoint. It also allows you to read in PowerPoint files and save them in the new format.

Open Office does not just include the Impress (the PowerPoint alternative) it also includes a fully functioning word processor (like Microsoft Word) and also a fully featured spreadsheet (like Excel).

You can read in PowerPoint files

And save in PowerPoint format

To download Open Office Impress click on the link

Open Office Impress

You can also find more information about Impress at Open Office.

Open Office is one of the web’s best kept secrets. Microsoft have played a huge marketing game in keeping their office product in the public eye - despite this by 2005 over 40 Million copies of Open Office have been downloaded. Being Open Source it attracts a large community of developers and even features in Google’s Summer of Code which hopefully should be developing 3D transitions to Impress - something that as far as I am aware is not possible in PowerPoint.

Google’s free alternative to PowerPoint

As a free online alternive to PowerPoint you can create your presentations using Google’s on-line presentation creation Tool.
Google Docs screen

Google Docs

docs.google.com already supports on on-line alternative to Microsoft Word and Excel.

The feature set includes

Create and keep presentations in one place on the webcomputer.
Manage, update and share presentations with colleagues by sending them a simple e-mail invitation.
Edit the same presentation together online and in real time on the web.
Present and control slide shows for all viewers over the web, with no special set-up required. Chat with viewers in real time via integrated chat.
Import existing presentations to get started quickly.
Quickly publish presentations to the general public or individuals of their choice.

Comments on: Free PowerPoint Download

thanks for making me aware of the alternatives to office, will give open office a try.

Pretty much what the guy above said - Thanks, i had no idea this was a free alternative!

I think this is absolutely ideal.
Considering how much you have to pay for the microsoft version its like striking gold!

hi yes my name is milagros aguiar, look my computer is a view sonic VA1703wb and it only brings the microsoft office powerpoint viewer 2003 and i need to make a project for math. when i try to open the microsoft office powerpoint viewer 2003 something pops out to save something but i don’t know what to do with that. please tell me or give me the best powerpoint viewer for my computer.

after reading what other people have been saying about open office i quickly downloaded! and i mean wow oh my god! its amazing

If I made a slide with Imress, would it make it so I could show it through Powerpoint Viewer? I just got an assignment due in 3 days on Powerpoint but I don’t have it.

In answer to the recent questions about how to download PowerPoint for free the answer is that you can’t. You can get the PowerPoint viewer for free but the main product is on sale commerically.

You can download OpenOffice for free - or you can use the Google Docs online package for free - but if you want the full PowerPoint package you will have to buy it.

If you follow the link above that will be fine. I just tried it and it did not work automatically. However on the thank you page i was able to clic on the link that read.

“If your download does not start after 30 seconds, click this link: Start download.”

i was able to download it but an open page came up i clicked on open bt it then did not work please help me thanx !!

That is so wicked! i needed powerpoint 4 my school computers that dont have them and now i have my free solution! thanks so much

well i need to ake a powerpoint for school and im not going to pay for it isn’t there a other version of PP not for commercial thinks to download…

I am having difficulty viewing powerpoint files from computers other than the one it was originally created. What is the best way to burn a powerpoint file on disc, that when played on other computers it will be accessible?

I hate how our school projects makes you use powerpoint and my computers doesn’t have it! I’m so glad there is a trial. It’s gonna save me from an F. I just wish this thing was free..

i know on the first one there is a blank page but once ive finished writing on that one how do i go to the next one?

you see the slides on the side of the left of the screen you just click on that and it will bring you a new slide

after your 60 day free trial is up on powerpoint do you have to pay, or can you cancel the free trial before it ends?

I have a school project due soon! In my school all the computers have Microsoft Powerpoint. I downloaded the free version of Open office impress, but i can’t open my Powerpoint at school..I really need some help!..is there any way to open the Impress powerpoint on a computer that has Microsoft powerpoint?..

How do i get a free download of powerpoint 2003?ive got powerpoint 2000 office but i want really good clip art when i am hyperlinking!

Is this like the Office addition because it’s very useful when it comes to overlapping and altering the color of a photo.

I cannot believe that the majority of the people that have posted in this ongoing thread cannot figure out how to download something and I cannot believe that some of the people just can’t go back to the top of the page and click on the link instead of asking for someone to help them or asking someone to give them the link.
The ignorance of some people astonishes me.

so then whats the catch behind all this? there got to be a catch somewhere, you can’t get anything for free these days so y this?

Totally free!
After you downloaded the file, double-click it to install the programm

i like power pont becouse i have too do lots off things on it i love it it is the best ever

Hi, ive been reading everyones comments on getting powerpoint for free my son really needs this for his school work but im not sure how to get. can you help me?

I really like the looks of it and i need help to download it so help me pleez but it looks FAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you print it in handout format. everytime i try it just starts to print it the normal way. helpp

wow thats well cool. i need 2 download it 4 my school project. but 4 free. it’s well cool hope i can download it 4 free!

First off, regarding openoffice.org… It is also available in portable format. This is offered both by U3, and portableapps.com. U3 is a waste though since it is a space hog. The portable apps edition though only takes about 220Mb and can be put on ANYTHING. So flash drives, mp3 players portable hard drives. You name it it works (i have tested this fact out myself)

The other thing that is worth mentioning is quite new… It is the fact that Google, in all of its immense awesomeness has created a pack for windows that includes the COMMERCIAL equivalent of OpenOffice.org FOR FREE. The advantages to this are more templates, more clipart and so fourth, otherwise they are essentially the same. It is called Star Office they are released by the same company which happens to be Sun Microsystems. So have a ball people. Both are capable of saving and opening in the Microsoft extensions. However with the portable edition its hardly necessary since you have all that is needed to open your files anywhere and any time (providing the computer is windows based).

thank you soo much. i have a presentation due at 8 tomorrow and just realized that i didn’t have powerpoint. hopefully this will work. fingers crossed

This is my take on most of the above comments. People listen you cannot DOWNLOAD POWER POINT FOR FREE YOU NEED TO PURCHASE IT. YOU CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD THE VIEWER FOR FREE.

IF YOU WANT A PROGRAM THAT WILL WORK LIKE POWER POINT THEN DOWNLOAD AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE THERE IS A LINK CALLED OPEN OFFICE. IT WORKS LIKE POWER POINT. END OF STORY. READ PEOPLE JUST READ..

THIS IS SO KEWL!!! lol i have an exam in 2 days, i have 3 powerpoint the teacher gave us, we need to read them and i dont have powerpoint, THIS IS SAVING MY LIFE!!! geez i though i was SCREWED that i’d get a big 0 but no you’re my hero

and those link too

Why does people keep asking that question “how do i download it can u plz tell me” are you people blind, you CANT that it and thats all open your eye and read lol many people said it, even the admin. Damn lucky i’m not the admin, to read all those comments for nothing, ouch

Anyway thanks i think i’ll stick with google, those days i see more and more link on google, i begin to see how big it is

How Can I download this powerpoint presentation 2007 For my homework For high school and I can only download viewer for year 7 Plese reply

Hello,
Could u plz help me to find a good design of power point for my presentation for free. I will do a presentation for political theory which is more philosophical…. hence i need a design appropriate to it.

Hi i am Gargi Singh and its good that some people have mind and they have made a great thing for us to make presentations on power point and i wannah thank him or her to make it for us.

what do you guys recomend, the 60 day trial orrr.. is the other free downlaod exactly like powerpointt and tha?, iffff you get me like

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!! I just hope it works with the schools poerpoint system!

Jeez are you lot all missing a few marbles? I think you need to pay attention a school a bit more.

The man said you can’t download MS Powerpoint for free unless you are doing it illegally. Use the free versions mentioned here and then “save as” an MS PP doc so you can use it on a machine that has a legit copy MSPowerpoint!

Well said! I was starting to wonder about a loss of marbles too! It really isn’t difficult to understand if you just read…. Come on people wake up!!

thank you
i always have to do presentations but rely on my friends alot because i never knew there was a free alternative
open office is my new bestfriend when it comes to projects

Hey. You wrote you would like to be informed, if the link had to be updated… Some time ago the PowerPoint Viewer 2007 has been released

You will have to save an open office impress presentation in powerpoint format for it to open in powerpoint.

Open Office is not the same thing as PowerPoint but it does the right sort of things and it is free as well. It is well worth a try.

k…i have NO I DEA WERE TO DOWNLOAD IT! and this one id diffrent then the one i have @ school. I don’t know were 2 find the one from my school…but i guess this will do.

Thank you so very much for the OpenOffice link. This is going to help so much when I have to do a presentation for my college class. I was about to have a panic attack until I cam across this. Awesome!

you don’t have like the actuall download of the powerpoint 2003 i have to make projects with powerpoint but you only have veiwer what can i do?

I’d be wary of using the MS 60 day trial. At the end of 60 days, i uninstalled it, and my older version of Office hasn’t worked since.

I love it it is sooooooooooooooooo cool it really helped me. thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

My sincere & heart-felt gratitude for having given this beautiful oppurtunity to have myself this free download; so as to make me able me to have self practice at home for my school-project preparation.

I’m amazed at the obvious lack of intelligence; it proves my theory that some should NOT be allowed to own or use a computer! PowerPoint is never free! OpenOffice IS free. OpenOffice offers Impress, something to do what you used to do with PowerPoint. To open an existing PowerPoint slide you will need to use “File/Open” from inside impress, or change the file associations on your computer. (I bet few here will ever figure that one out!)

this is great. I just bought a netbook and was just about to dish out 150 for microsoft office, until i realized that netbooks don’t come with a CD drive! you just saved me from buying a CD drive I don’t need for 50 bucks and the 150 for office. hopefully open office will be enough for me.

this thing is sooooo cool
i love it
i used it for an assingment and go 100%
Alright y’all
Byee

I have the full version of Powerpoint 2007 on disc but after rebooting my computer to factory settings, due to a bad microsoft update, it will no longer load up. I have the viewer, but not the actual Powerpoint program.
I use OpenOffice.org for presentation making too, but many of the companies I do business with, do not use OpenOffice software at all, and this makes it impossible to do presentations on their company computers. (Keep in mind that most companies won’t allow outsiders to hook up their own laptops to the company systems.)

i think it’s a rubish idea as i tried it and it didn’t do wat u said it would!!!!!:|

it is brill i used it 60 times for work for the kids im a teacher it awsome what fun it is the kids love it they are 1- and 16 so the oldest has been using it in school and her own laptop

You can trial PowerPoint 2007 for 60 days or something from the Microsoft website.
