Convert DOC to PPT — Legacy Word 97-2003 to PowerPoint Online

Old .doc files (the binary Word 97-2003 format) and .ppt files (PowerPoint 97-2003) are still everywhere — archived reports, university course materials, government documents. Sharayeh accepts legacy .doc as input and outputs modern .pptx by default. If you specifically need the old .ppt binary format for a legacy system, save the converted .pptx in PowerPoint as "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation". The AI handles documents created in Word 97 through Word 2003 cleanly, including those with old WordArt and embedded objects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an old .doc file to .ppt?▼

Upload the .doc to Sharayeh and download the modern .pptx. To get the legacy .ppt format, open the .pptx in PowerPoint and use File → Save As → "PowerPoint 97-2003 Presentation (.ppt)".

Why does my old .doc file have weird formatting after conversion?▼

Very old .doc files sometimes use deprecated features (legacy WordArt, ancient OLE objects) that don't map cleanly to modern slide elements. If you see issues, open the original .doc in Word, save it as .docx, then re-convert — that resolves most edge cases.

Is the legacy .doc to .ppt converter free?▼

Yes. The free tier accepts both legacy .doc and modern .docx files at no charge. No signup required for the first conversion.
