Hi Simon,
Thank you for using Syncfusion product.
At present we provide support for PPTX file format alone and we don’t have support to PPT file format. The PPTX is the default file extension for saving files in PowerPoint 2007 and later editions. We have plans to implement support for “PPT” file format in the near future but we cannot be able to provide you with concrete timeline at the moment. We have raised a feature request for your requirement. You can able to track the feature progress through this below feature link.

Is the installation of MS Office required or does it work standalone?
It is standalone and does not require MS Office installation.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
Thanks,

Hi Prakash Kumar and Syncfusion team,
Do we have a plan for the PPT file? In the latest version 20.2.0.49 we were unable to open it.
Please let me know if this feature is implemented.
Thanks & Best Regards ,
Rider
Hi Rider,
We regret to let you know that at present we are providing support for
.PPTX, .PPTM, .POTX, .POTM file formats only and we don’t have support for PPT
file format. Since this is an older file format and Microsoft PowerPoint also
continuously improving the latest PPTX file format only. So, we do not have any
plan to implement support for the PPT file format in Syncfusion Presentation
library.
However, kindly update your documents to PPTX file format using Microsoft
PowerPoint and use those documents in Syncfusion
Presentation library.
Regards,
Anto Nihil S
