Presentations should not require a subscription. Xrero Slides is a free PowerPoint alternative for Windows that opens, edits and saves .pptx decks.
Open and edit your existing decks
Slides opens .pptx files with layouts, images, charts and animations in place — and saves back in the same format, so the deck works everywhere PowerPoint does:
Design and present with confidence
- Ready-made design templates — including Arabic and UAE themes
- Transitions and animations
- Presenter view with notes
- A clear Present button for full-screen delivery
Bilingual by design
Build slides in Arabic, English or both — right-to-left text and Arabic fonts are fully supported, and the interface itself can run in Arabic.
Part of a free suite
Slides comes with Writer, Calc and PDF in one free download that works offline. No account, no trial period.
FAQ
Can I present directly from Slides?
Yes — press Present for full-screen mode with keyboard and presenter controls.
Do PowerPoint animations survive?
Common transitions and animations open and play correctly, and save back into .pptx.
Are there ready-made designs?
Yes — a built-in gallery including Arabic/UAE-themed templates gets a deck started in seconds.
