What is a .PRZ file?
Everything worth knowing about Lotus Freelance Graphics Presentation files.
A PRZ file is a presentation created by Lotus Freelance Graphics, a slideshow application that was part of IBM Lotus SmartSuite. IBM discontinued SmartSuite in 2013 and ended all support in September 2014, so PRZ is an obsolete format. To view or convert a PRZ file today, you need a legacy install of Lotus Freelance Graphics 9.8; LibreOffice and PowerPoint cannot open PRZ natively.

Is my .PRZ file uploaded anywhere?
No. Your .PRZ file is unpacked and drawn for you.
Will it look exactly like in PowerPoint?
Close, but not pixel-perfect. Text, shapes, pictures, tables, colours and the theme are redrawn from the file. Animations, transitions, charts, SmartArt and some special effects are simplified or skipped.
Can I see the speaker notes?
Yes. Notes appear under the current slide whenever the author added them, and they're counted in the info panel.
What about old .PPT files?
For PowerPoint 97-2003 files the viewer extracts the text of every slide, titles and bullets included, but doesn't draw the layout yet. Save the file as PPTX for a full preview.
And Apple Keynote?
Keynote files keep their slides in a proprietary format. If the file contains its built-in preview image we show it; otherwise export the deck from Keynote as PPTX or PDF.
