The PPT format is a proprietary binary file format developed by Microsoft. It is mostly associated with Microsoft office PowerPoint, a closed source slide show presentation application. In Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 onwards, the .ppt filename extension format was superseded by the .pptx format which is part of the Office Open XML specification. Documents to be saved in the .ppt format are saved as PowerPoint 97, 2003 presentations.
The TIFF format was developed by the company Aldus in 1986, which was later acquired by Adobe systems who now own the rights on the format specification. TIFF, which refers to the Tagged Image File Format, is a raster graphics file format popularly used in desktop publishing and print. Its initial development goal was to create an alternative and cross platform format that would replace the numerous proprietary formats used by scanners developed in the 80's. Later revisions, after Adobe took over the development of the format, saw the TIFF format become extensible to adapt with growing and changing needs of the graphics industry. TIFF supports high color depth and is well suited to OCR applications, scanning, image editing and authoring as well as word processing. The format uses the filename extension .tiff for files stored in the format.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for PPT to TIFF conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload PPT files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized TIFF results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent TIFF audio with dependable progress tracking.
The ppt format uses Microsoft's OLE 2 compound document file format. It contains a hierarchical structure of storage and streams broken down to a user stream, PowerPoint document stream, pictures stream, an optional stream, and custom XML data stream. Actual content is represented as slide containers within the document stream. The format allows the inclusion of external objects such as pictures, sounds, and movies into one presentation.
The original version of the TIFF format had no support for compression but by the 5th release of the format, LZW compression (a lossless compression algorithm) was supported. However, the format can also be used to store data in a lossless format without compression. This cannot be done though if the TIFF file is acting as an archive for JPEG data which is inherently lossy. TIFF supports monochrome, grayscale, palette color, and full true color.
