Cutting-Edge Compression

AV1 compression inside AVIF represents the state of the art in image encoding. PPSM slides look superb while file sizes shrink far below what JPEG or WEBP can achieve.

Lightning-Fast Loading

AVIF images are dramatically smaller than equivalent JPEG files. Published slide visuals load faster on websites, improving page speed scores and visitor experience.

Wide Browser Support

All major browsers now render AVIF natively. Publish converted PPSM slides as AVIF and reach the overwhelming majority of web users without compatibility worries.

About formats

PPSM (PowerPoint Slideshow with Macros) is a macro-enabled slideshow format in Microsoft PowerPoint, introduced with Office 2007 as part of the Office Open XML family. PPSM combines the auto-play slideshow behavior of PPSX with the VBA macro capabilities of PPTM — opening a PPSM file launches it directly into full-screen presentation mode while allowing embedded macro code to execute during the slideshow. The format is structurally a ZIP archive containing the same XML slide parts as other OOXML presentation formats, plus a vbaProject.bin stream housing the VBA project. This combination is particularly valuable for interactive presentations: macro-driven slideshows can respond to user input, navigate non-linearly between sections, query external databases, update content in real time, and log audience responses during training or assessment sessions. One advantage is interactive presentation capability — PPSM enables quiz-style presentations where clicking answer buttons triggers immediate scoring feedback, branching paths, or data recording, all invisible to the audience. The macro-enabled slideshow format also supports self-contained automation: a PPSM file can run initialization routines on launch, configure the display environment, and clean up resources on exit without any manual intervention. As with all macro-enabled Office Open XML formats, the distinct .ppsm extension helps administrators enforce security policies that differentiate between trusted macro content and standard presentations. PPSM is supported exclusively in Microsoft PowerPoint desktop editions.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec, developed by the Alliance for Open Media and specified in February 2019. The format leverages the intra-frame coding tools of AV1 — a royalty-free video codec backed by Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, and other major technology companies — to compress still images with substantially higher efficiency than JPEG, PNG, or even WebP. AVIF stores images in the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) container, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, HDR (high dynamic range) with wide color gamuts up to 12-bit depth, alpha transparency, and animated sequences. At equivalent visual quality, AVIF files are typically 30-50% smaller than WebP and 50-70% smaller than JPEG, representing the largest compression improvement in mainstream image formats in over a decade. One advantage is exceptional compression efficiency — AVIF delivers visually indistinguishable images at dramatically lower file sizes, directly reducing bandwidth consumption and improving page load times for web content. The royalty-free licensing model provides another key strength: unlike HEIC/HEIF which relies on patent-encumbered HEVC, AVIF's AV1 foundation is free for anyone to implement without licensing fees. Browser support has reached broad adoption, with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all rendering AVIF natively. The format is rapidly gaining adoption for web images where quality-to-size ratio is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert PPSM to AVIF?

AVIF is the newest high-efficiency image format, delivering better compression than both JPEG and HEIC. Slide images look sharper at dramatically smaller sizes — perfect for web publishing.

What browsers support AVIF?

Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge support AVIF natively. Safari added support in recent versions. Coverage now spans the vast majority of web users worldwide.

How does AVIF compare to WEBP?

AVIF typically achieves 20-30% better compression than WEBP at equivalent visual quality. For slides with text and graphics, AVIF produces noticeably sharper results at small sizes.

Does AVIF conversion strip macros?

Yes — AVIF is a pure image format. All VBA macros and executable code from the PPSM presentation are fully eliminated in the output.

Is this conversion free?

Convertio provides PPSM to AVIF conversion for free. Premium plans unlock larger file allowances and batch conversion for content teams.

Does AVIF support transparency?

Yes — AVIF supports full alpha channel transparency and wide color gamuts (HDR). Slide elements with transparent areas are preserved accurately in the AVIF output.
