We often use PowerPoint on the working, and If we can view PowerPoint presentation on Android smartphones and tablets, that will be more convenient and flexible for our life! However, Microsoft has no plan to develop Android version of Microsoft Office so far. So we have to figure out some alternatives to watch PowerPoint on Android! That is why this blog is written and we will share five methods to view PowerPoint on Android!
Method One: Android Office Apps
There are a number of Android office apps on the Android Market, so we can easily download some to play PowerPoint presentation on Android devices, such as Quickoffice, Documents to Go and ThinkFree Mobile. Those office apps all offer basic functions for viewing PowerPoint. But they are limited in functions when we want to play original animations and transitions, and edit PowerPoint freely with this kind of apps.
Method Two: Save PowerPoint as Images
The PowerPoint presentation can easily be saved as images, so it could be one choice to view PowerPoint as images on Android devices!
Step 1: Click "File" button ("Office" in PowerPoint 2007)> "Save As"
Step 2: Choose ".jpg" or ".png"for maximum quality in the "Save As type" drop down menu, then click “Save”. When PowerPoint asks whether you want to export all slides, select “Every Slide”.
Method Three: Turn PowerPoint to PDF
Step 1: Click "File" button ("Office" in PowerPoint 2007)> "Save As"
Step 2: Choose ".jpg" or ".png"for maximum quality in the "Save As type" drop down menu, then click “Save”. When PowerPoint asks whether you want to export all slides, select “Every Slide”.
Method Three: Turn PowerPoint to PDF
Images are easy to view but difficult to edit! Meanwhile, we can view and take notes on PDF files! If we save PowerPoint to PDF file for Android devices, the presentation PDF is easily viewed with PDF viewers, sent by e-mail and transferred between devices!
Step 1: Click "File" button ("Office" in PowerPoint 2007)> "Save As"
Step 2: Choose ".pdf" in the drop down menu of "Save As type", then click "Save".

Step 2: Choose ".pdf" in the drop down menu of "Save As type", then click "Save".
