ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors ou PowerPoint Viewer : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors, alternative Linux à PowerPoint Viewer

Mis à jour le 28 octobre 2026

Notre avis

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is a good replacement for PowerPoint Viewer if you need to view .pptx files with animations, transitions, and embedded media on Linux. It handles read-only viewing well and supports full-screen playback, thumbnails, and hyperlink navigation. While it’s primarily an editor, its read-only mode works reliably. Users who only need to view presentations—especially those shared in .pptx format—will find it functional and stable. However, if you rely on very old .ppt files, test first, as support is less consistent.

ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors fully supports .pptx files, the same format used by modern PowerPoint versions, and renders animations, transitions, and embedded content correctly. It can open many .ppt files, but formatting, especially complex animations or older media types, may not display accurately. If your files were created in PowerPoint 2007 or later, compatibility is strong. For legacy .ppt files, conversion to .pptx on the sender's side ensures best results.

Questions fréquentes

Can ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors open .ppt files from old PowerPoint versions?

It can open many .ppt files, but support is not guaranteed. Complex formatting or animations may not render correctly. For reliable results, convert .ppt to .pptx when possible.

Does it support playing embedded videos and audio?

Yes, it supports embedded media in .pptx files, but playback depends on system codecs. MP4 and common formats usually work; others may not.

Is there a way to disable editing and use it as a pure viewer?

Not officially. The app doesn't have a locked viewer mode, but you can simply avoid making changes. Files open read-only by default if permissions prevent editing.
