A .pptm extension file is a macro enabled open XML, Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation file. The presentation pages that are termed as slides comprise of text, images, videos, graphs and other components including media files that are required in a presentation. This feature is especially helpful to create presentations for the academic, marketing and business domains where a large amount of content needs to be stored. The advantage of using the .pptm extension as compared to .pptx is that macros can be executed in files with this extension whereas it is not possible to execute macros in .pptx files even if it has macros in it, apart from that both formats have similar features. Microsoft introduced the Open XML format for PowerPoint presentations in 2007 hence files with this extension cannot be opened with previous PowerPoint versions. However, if a Microsoft Compatibility Pack is installed along with the previous versions, it would be possible to open the files with .pptm extension.
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.

Upload PPTM 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 PPTM format combines the XML Architecture with the ZIP compression technology to reduce the file size. Images, audios and videos can be opened using the 7-Zip application if a compatible PPTM editor or reader is not installed on the system. PPTM files can be converted to other formats that include PPT, PDF, PNG, PPTX or JPG. It can also be converted to a video format like MP4 or WMV. The recent additions to the presentations include features like inserting music that plays all through the presentation, sound effects to highlight specific slides, designing the presentation to play on its own just like a movie, recording the slide show with a pointer on one hand and narration on the other, repetition and shuffling the order of the slides as per requirement.
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.
