How Do I Get PowerPoint on Mac?

Getting PowerPoint on your Mac is very easy. Just a few clicks, and you'll be ready to start making slides and building presentations. Here's what to do:

Open the Mac App Store by going to the Apple menu > App Store or the Applications folder > App Store .

You can also download PowerPoint directly from Microsoft , but these instructions focus on the Mac App Store.

Is PowerPoint Free for the Mac?

PowerPoint is not free on the Mac (or on Windows, for that matter). Microsoft offers a free, 30-day trial after you download PowerPoint.

Do Macs Come With PowerPoint?

No. To get PowerPoint on your Mac, you need to download and install it using the steps from the first section of this article (or, as noted before, directly from Microsoft).

What Is the Mac Version of PowerPoint?

While PowerPoint may be the most well-known program for making slides and creating presentations, it's far from the only one. Your Mac probably came with one of the alternatives pre-installed.

Apple makes a program called Keynote which is a direct competitor to PowerPoint. It offers all of the core features of PowerPoint—creating slides and presentations, animations, templates, presenter mode, etc. It integrates tightly with Apple's other software and services like iCloud.

Keynote comes pre-installed for free on all modern Macs. It's likely in your Applications folder as you read this. If it's not, and if your Mac and version of the macOS are compatible with it, you can download it for free from the Mac App Store by searching for "Keynote."

Need to make slides and want to avoid both PowerPoint and Keynote? There are many other PowerPoint alternatives , but one place to start is Google Slides , which is free, web-based, and integrates with your Google account and other Google productivity tools.

To print PowerPoint slides with Notes on a Mac, open your presentation and select Print . In the Print dialog box, select Show Details . In the Layout box, select Notes . Configure the rest of your printing options and select Print .

The easiest way to record a voiceover in PowerPoint on a Mac is to record by slide. Select the slide where you want to add the narration, then select  Insert from the menu bar and click Audio > Record Audio . Enter a name for the narration, select Record , read your script, and select Stop when you're finished recording.

To convert PowerPoint to video on a Mac, open the presentation you want to save and select File > Export . In the export window, next to File Format , select a file format option, such as MP4 or MOV . Choose your video quality, choose whether you want to include narrations, adjust timing, and select Export .

Your review for Microsoft PowerPoint

Thank you for rating!

What do you think about Microsoft PowerPoint? Do you recommend it? Why?

OOPS! This is embarrassing...

Something’s gone terribly wrong. Try this instead

How To Get Free Access To Microsoft PowerPoint

E very time you need to present an overview of a plan or a report to a whole room of people, chances are you turn to Microsoft PowerPoint. And who doesn't? It's popular for its wide array of features that make creating effective presentations a walk in the park. PowerPoint comes with a host of keyboard shortcuts for easy navigation, subtitles and video recordings for your audience's benefit, and a variety of transitions, animations, and designs for better engagement.

But with these nifty features comes a hefty price tag. At the moment, the personal plan — which includes other Office apps — is at $69.99 a year. This might be the most budget-friendly option, especially if you plan to use the other Microsoft Office apps, too. Unfortunately, you can't buy PowerPoint alone, but there are a few workarounds you can use to get access to PowerPoint at no cost to you at all.

Read more: The 20 Best Mac Apps That Will Improve Your Apple Experience

Method #1: Sign Up For A Free Microsoft Account On The Office Website

Microsoft offers a web-based version of PowerPoint completely free of charge to all users. Here's how you can access it:

• Visit the Microsoft 365 page .
• If you already have a free account with Microsoft, click Sign in. Otherwise, press "Sign up for the free version of Microsoft 365" to create a new account at no cost.
• On the Office home page, select PowerPoint from the side panel on the left.
• Click on "Blank presentation" to create your presentation from scratch, or pick your preferred free PowerPoint template from the options at the top (there's also a host of editable templates you can find on the Microsoft 365 Create site ).
• Create your presentation as normal. Your edits will be saved automatically to your Microsoft OneDrive as long as you're connected to the internet.

It's important to keep in mind, though, that while you're free to use this web version of PowerPoint to create your slides and edit templates, there are certain features it doesn't have that you can find on the paid version. For instance, you can access only a handful of font styles and stock elements like images, videos, icons, and stickers. Designer is also available for use on up to three presentations per month only (it's unlimited for premium subscribers). When presenting, you won't find the Present Live and Always Use Subtitles options present in the paid plans. The biggest caveat of the free version is that it won't get any newly released features, unlike its premium counterparts.

Method #2: Install Microsoft 365 (Office) To Your Windows

Don't fancy working on your presentation in a browser? If you have a Windows computer with the Office 365 apps pre-installed or downloaded from a previous Office 365 trial, you can use the Microsoft 365 (Office) app instead. Unlike the individual Microsoft apps that you need to buy from the Microsoft Store, this one is free to download and use. Here's how to get free PowerPoint on the Microsoft 365 (Office) app:

• Search for Microsoft 365 (Office) on the Microsoft Store app.
• Install and open it.
• Sign in with your Microsoft account. Alternatively, press "Create free account" if you don't have one yet.
• Click on Create on the left side panel.
• Select Presentation.
• In the PowerPoint window that opens, log in using your account.
• Press Accept on the "Free 5-day pass" section. This lets you use PowerPoint (and Word and Excel) for five days — free of charge and without having to input any payment information.
• Create your presentation as usual. As you're using the desktop version, you can access the full features of PowerPoint, including the ability to present in Teams, export the presentation as a video file, translate the slides' content to a different language, and even work offline.

The only downside of this method is the time limit. Once the five days are up, you can no longer open the PowerPoint desktop app. However, all your files will still be accessible to you. If you saved them to OneDrive, you can continue editing them on the web app. If you saved them to your computer, you can upload them to OneDrive and edit them from there.

Method #3: Download The Microsoft PowerPoint App On Your Android Or iOS Device

If you're always on the move and need the flexibility of creating and editing presentations on your Android or iOS device, you'll be glad to know that PowerPoint is free and available for offline use on your mobile phones. But — of course, there's a but — you can only access the free version if your device is under 10.1 inches. Anything bigger than that requires a premium subscription. If your phone fits the bill, then follow these steps to get free PowerPoint on your device:

• Install Microsoft PowerPoint from the App Store or Google Play Store .
• Log in using your existing Microsoft email or enter a new email address to create one if you don't already have an account.
• On the "Get Microsoft 365 Personal Plan" screen, press Skip For Now.
• If you're offered a free trial, select Try later (or enjoy the free 30-day trial if you're interested).
• To make a new presentation, tap the plus sign in the upper right corner.
• Change the "Create in" option from OneDrive - Personal to a folder on your device. This allows you to save the presentation to your local storage and make offline edits.
• Press "Set as default" to set your local folder as the default file storage location.
• Choose your template from the selection or use a blank presentation.
• Edit your presentation as needed.

Do note that PowerPoint mobile comes with some restrictions. There's no option to insert stock elements, change the slide size to a custom size, use the Designer feature, or display the presentation in Immersive Reader mode. However, you can use font styles considered premium on the web app.

Method #4: Use Your School Email Address

Office 365 Education is free for students and teachers, provided they have an email address from an eligible school. To check for your eligibility, here's what you need to do:

• Go to the Office 365 Education page .
• Type in your school email address in the empty text field.
• Press "Get Started."
• On the next screen, verify your eligibility. If you're eligible, you'll be asked to select whether you're a student or a teacher. If your school isn't recognized, however, you'll get a message telling you so.
• For those who are eligible, proceed with creating your Office 365 Education account. Make sure your school email can receive external mail, as Microsoft will send you a verification code for your account.
• Once you're done filling out the form, press "Start." This will open your Office 365 account page.

You can then start making your PowerPoint presentation using the web app. If your school's plan supports it, you can also install the Office 365 apps to your computer by clicking the "Install Office" button on your Office 365 account page and running the downloaded installation file. What sets the Office 365 Education account apart from the regular free account is that you have unlimited personal cloud storage and access to other Office apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook.

Features available in 2007 but not in recent versions.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 was a significant release that included many features that were advanced at the time. However, with the development of newer versions of PowerPoint, some of these features have either been deprecated, significantly altered, or rendered obsolete by more advanced functionalities in the newer versions. It is important to understand these differences when choosing a PPT template that is compatible with PowerPoint 2007 because these templates should be compatible with these features and it is now part of the History of PowerPoint . Here are some key features and aspects of PowerPoint 2007 that are not as relevant or available in the 2024 versions of PowerPoint:

• Interface and Usability : PowerPoint 2007 introduced the Ribbon interface, a significant shift from the toolbars and menus used in previous versions. While the Ribbon is still in use, its functionality and customization have been vastly improved in later versions, making the 2007 interface feel outdated.
• File Format : PowerPoint 2007 was the first to use the .pptx file format based on Office Open XML standards, which is still in use. However, the way this format is handled has improved, with newer versions supporting additional features like embedded fonts and better media compatibility. PowerPoint 2007 templates created as .pptx files must use these old format in order to be compatible.
• SmartArt and Graphics : While PowerPoint 2007 introduced SmartArt, the variety and sophistication of these graphics have been greatly expanded in subsequent versions. The newer versions offer more advanced editing tools and a wider array of graphic options.
• Multimedia Integration : PowerPoint 2007 allowed for the embedding of multimedia files, but the functionality was limited. Newer versions support a broader range of multimedia formats and provide more options for editing and integrating these elements directly within the software.
• Collaboration Features : PowerPoint 2007 did not support the real-time collaboration features that are a staple in the latest versions of PowerPoint. Features like simultaneous editing, comments, and integration with cloud services like OneDrive and SharePoint have made collaboration much easier and more robust.
• Security and Document Recovery : Improvements in security features and document recovery processes have been made since 2007. Newer versions offer more sophisticated options to protect presentations and recover unsaved work.
• Animation and Transition Effects : The range and complexity of animations and transitions in PowerPoint have expanded beyond what was available in 2007. The newer versions include more refined effects that can be customized extensively.
• Support for Newer Operating Systems : Over time, compatibility updates for newer operating systems are often phased out for older software versions. PowerPoint 2007 may not be as compatible or may not function optimally on the latest Windows operating systems available in 2024.
• Accessibility Features : There have been significant improvements in accessibility features in the more recent versions of PowerPoint, such as better support for screen readers, accessibility checkers, and easier navigation for designing accessible presentations.

Alternatives to PowerPoint 2007 Templates

While PowerPoint 2007 is sufficient for many tasks, considering an upgrade to access newer features and improved compatibility with current multimedia formats might be worthwhile. For those interested in exploring more recent versions or alternative software solutions, detailed comparisons and guides are available on our website.

Final Words

Using PowerPoint 2007 templates can help users to improve the visual appeal of their presentations. With the plethora of free pptx templates for PowerPoint 2007 available, there’s no reason to settle for less in your next presentation when using this old version of Microsoft PowerPoint in your environment.

Get Microsoft Office 2021 for Windows for just $50

Download a lifetime license to Microsoft Office at a deep discount with this deal.

If you need access to Microsoft Office but don't want to pay the yearly fee to access Office 365, you're in luck: Stack Social is offering a lifetime license for Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for Windows or Mac , starting at $50 (reg. $220) -- that's 77% off. Pay just once, and get lifetime access to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access, no matter what kind of device you're using.

Microsoft Office Professional 2021

This deal gets you a one-time purchase to be installed on one device. You'll need Windows 10 or 11, or MacOS Monterey, Ventura, or Sonoma to download the software.

A caveat: While Stack Social is an authorized Microsoft partner and offers "lifetime" access to Office, it is possible that Microsoft could end the license. But the site has been running these Microsoft deals for years, and I can personally vouch for them -- I purchased an Office license from Stack Social about two years ago, and it's still working on my personal MacBook today. 

This deal won't give you the benefits of the latest Microsoft Office 365 subscription , either -- but you won't have to pay a $70 yearly fee to access Office apps, either. Windows users must have their OS updated to Windows 10 or 11, while Mac users should have at least Monterrey Version 12 or newer to download the software. 

Get Microsoft Office Professional for Windows or Mac with this deal today.

When will this deal expire?

Powerpoint for iOS - presenter mode not working

I have a presentation for tomorrow morning and was planning to use my iPad to control it. However, for some reason, the "play" button is greyed out. I have tried this in the Office 365 app (which is what I prefer to use) and the PowerPoint app, which I downloaded thinking it might be a fix. On two different devices, the presentation mode won't work. I have had to transfer the presentation into Apple's Keynote so I can still have the presentation running. Any suggestions for what the problem might be or how to fix it? I haven't used PowerPoint with my iPad for a few years, but I previously used it all the time.

Hi, Dr_Elaine

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting them to the community.

I understand you're having trouble with "presenter mode not working." I understand the problem and would like to help you better in your situation.

I need to know more about this in order to help you better. You mentioned that your play button is showing up grayed out, are the other function buttons grayed out as well? Are there any error messages? Can you share with me a screenshot of the exact situation if it's convenient?

And then may I ask if your PowerPoint file is already in presenter view? You can use PC to check it, and you can check the following article for the specific steps:

Use Presenter View in PowerPoint - Microsoft Support

If your file is already in presenter view, then you can't play it through the iPad because the iPad doesn't have the presenter view feature.

I hope the above information can help you. Feel free to submit a post if you need further assistance.

Best regards

Aiden - MSFT |Microsoft Community Support Specialist

Was this reply helpful? Yes No

Sorry this didn't help.

Great! Thanks for your feedback.

How satisfied are you with this reply?

Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

Thanks for your feedback.

It turned out because of the size of the file, it was taking an extraordinary length of time to download despite fast internet speeds. Once it had fully downloaded the play button was functional. Thanks for the reply.

By the way, if you can pass on some feedback to the developers, the one thing I like about keynote is that I can use my iOS device to control my Mac as a remote. This is much easier than trying to use a pointer or something like that. Perhaps they can look at how it could be done in PowerPoint.

I'm very happy that your issue was resolved properly.

You can submit a report via File -> Feedback and include a detailed description of your issue or any ideas you have for making Office more convenient. The development team will periodically review the reports submitted and take action.

Meanwhile, in order to help users with the same problem, could you please mark "Yes" to this reply, so that other users can quickly locate the solution, thank you very much for your cooperation.

The best & Suggestion

Why wouldn't attachments be converted along with the slides? For example, if there are clickable items that have embeded audio, why couldn't they be exported?

Needs some bug fixes

I have a 2016 Macbook pro 13”, I came to notice that while preparing ppt presentations or while stuying from ppt lectures my laptop becomes overheated. in the Activity Monitor CPU% Powerpoint was taking 150, and when i closed it the problem improved. Further, when I try to add/adjust on a previously made presentation the app would lag and take quite long time to adjust. Please try fixing these problems soon, and pardon my language.

practical and easy to use
