- Description
- The POTX file format is a template file used by Microsoft PowerPoint, a well-known presentation software. As part of the Open XML file format family introduced in Microsoft Office 2007, POTX files are used for creating multiple presentations with a similar layout, style, and formatting, ensuring consistency across documents. These templates can include predefined slide backgrounds, fonts, color schemes, and layouts. Users can create new presentations based on these templates, which allows for efficient creation of visually cohesive and professionally styled presentations.
- Based on HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding), the HEIF format is an image file container with one or multiple images and is the default image format for Apple Live Photos. It replaced the JPEG format as it's smaller in size and has lossless compression ensuring high-quality photos.
