Xrero Slides is a free presentation app that opens PowerPoint files, with transitions and a presenter view.
A free Microsoft PowerPoint alternative that opens .pptx
Xrero Slides is a free Microsoft PowerPoint alternative for Windows. It opens and saves PowerPoint .pptx files and lets you build decks with transitions, animations, slide masters, a presenter view and speaker notes — with no subscription.
Build and present without paying
Drop in images, shapes, tables and charts, apply a theme, and rehearse with the presenter view (speaker notes, timer and next-slide preview). When you are done, present in English or Arabic, or export the deck to PDF. Everything runs on your PC.
Want a quick taste? On the Xrero Slides page you can type a slide title and bullets and see the slide update live — right in your browser.
Arabic and right-to-left slides
Xrero Slides supports right-to-left layouts and Arabic typography end to end, so bilingual presentations look correct for every audience. Open a client’s .pptx, edit it, and save it back without conversion.
Free, offline, and built to help everyone
Xrero Office exists for one reason: everyone should be able to open, edit and share documents without paying for a subscription. It is 100% free, it runs offline on your own Windows PC, and it treats Arabic and right-to-left as a first language. There is no trial, no credit card and no paywall — just download it, create a free account once, and start working.
