The Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer is a free viewer for PowerPoint presentations . Microsoft has been continuously developing PowerPoint since 1988 and has been included in every Office version since then. However, since not all Windows users have a full version of Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, Microsoft has developed the PowerPoint Viewer . The ” PowerPoint Viewer Mac ” is also available for MAC users .

The PowerPoint Viewer has been free of charge from the start and could previously be used in the version

  • PowerPoint Viewer 2003
  • PowerPoint Viewer 2007
  • PowerPoint Viewer 2010

can be downloaded.

However, the free PowerPoint Viewer can only open newer PowerPoint files from Office 2013 and 2016 if you also install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint file formats . You can also download this additional PowerPoint package if you click on the link ” Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer free Version 14.0.4730.1010 below . The older versions of PowerPoint Viewer 2003 and 2007 can no longer be found on Microsoft’s website, you can get this from various download providers on the Internet.

Important note: Microsoft has published that the previously known PowerPoint Viewer will no longer be developed as of April 2018 and will therefore no longer be available for download from then on.

 There are already alternatives for the MS PowerPoint Viewer and Microsoft recommends everyone to use the ” PowerPoint Mobile ” app from the Windows Store.
