FEATURES
Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 features for macOS
Ink stroke animation
Add forward or reverse playback of ink strokes and adjust the effect speed. This lets you gradually reveal your reasoning or the construction of a diagram.
Export to GIF
Save your slideshow as an animated GIF for use in other materials. A short animation can show a sequence of actions without a separate presentation file.
Save as SVG
Export pictures and other graphics from your presentation as SVG. The vector file can be reused in documents and enlarged without losing sharpness.
Templates and slide master
Create a shared layout in desktop PowerPoint with the fonts, background, and content placeholders you need. A saved template helps keep future presentations consistent.
Tables on slides
Create tables directly in a presentation and fill them with data. This format helps compare options, show a work plan or present several metrics compactly.
Speaker notes
Keep notes for each slide separate from the main content. In desktop Presenter View, the speaker sees the notes while the audience sees the presentation itself.
Export slides to PDF
Save the presentation as a PDF with a fixed layout. The recipient can view the materials without PowerPoint, and you can share a final version for reading.
Links and navigation
Add hyperlinks to useful resources and relevant slides. This helps create a presentation with links to details, sources and additional explanations.
