What Is This Tool?
This tool enables you to convert PPT files, the legacy Microsoft PowerPoint format, into 7Z archive files. 7Z archives provide high compression, encryption, and multi-volume support to efficiently store and distribute presentation files.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Upload your PPT file(s) containing legacy Microsoft PowerPoint presentations
-
Choose 7Z as the output archive format
-
Optionally configure encryption and multi-volume archive settings
-
Start the conversion to compress and archive your files
-
Download the resulting 7Z archive for storage or transfer
Key Features
-
Convert legacy PPT presentation files into compressed 7Z archives
-
Use strong AES-256 encryption to secure archived presentations
-
Create multi-volume split archives for convenient file transfer
-
Reduce storage space with advanced LZMA/LZMA2 compression
-
Preserve folder structures and multiple files in one archive
Examples
-
Compress an archive of departmental legacy PPT presentations into a single encrypted 7Z file for off-site storage
-
Bundle multiple PPT files into a split 7Z archive to fit removable media size limitations
-
Create a secure compressed backup of important project PPT files using AES-256 encryption
Common Use Cases
-
Archiving legacy PPT presentations for long-term storage with encryption
-
Reducing upload/download sizes when sharing presentations via limited bandwidth
-
Packaging numerous PPT files into a manageable multi-volume 7Z archive
-
Securing sensitive presentation files by creating encrypted backups
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use encryption to protect confidential presentation content
-
Consider multi-volume archives for transferring large files via limited storage devices
-
Ensure recipients have compatible tools to extract 7Z archives
-
Be aware of the higher resource demands when compressing or decompressing 7Z files
-
Remember that archiving does not remove potential security risks from embedded macros or OLE objects in PPT
Limitations
-
7Z archives may require third-party tools on some systems for extraction
-
Solid compression increases the time and resources needed to extract or modify individual files
-
Compression and decompression can be CPU- and memory-intensive on low-resource devices
-
Archiving PPT files does not eliminate inherent security risks from embedded macros or objects
