Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 as a standalone application

Microsoft PowerPoint is the classic software program used to design convincing visualizations of information and create clear presentations. With PowerPoint 2021 you get the latest version of the proven Office software to create professional presentations for work, as well as for school and university. Professionals and beginners alike are supported by intuitively usable tools to compile topics and content informatively and impressively on slides and convey them through a lively presentation.

The newly revised, user-friendly interface of Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 allows for a quick start with the program, and the wide selection of templates and design options makes it possible to create presentation slides in an individual look.

The new PowerPoint 2021 also supports touch-optimized use on tablets as well as the use of digital pens ? in particular the new freehand drawing tool should be noted, which allows spontaneous use of your own sketches.

Through integration with Microsoft OneDrive, PowerPoint 2021 can also be used in teams via the cloud. High security standards ensure smooth collaboration. In addition, creating accessible presentations is now easier than before.

PowerPoint 2021 is normally only available as an integral part of the corresponding Office suite; however, when buying software you can also purchase the program individually. To use PowerPoint 2021 on your computer or another device, the operating system Windows 10 is a mandatory requirement. In the Softwarekaufen online shop you will find, besides the current PowerPoint 2021, older versions as well as other Office programs at particularly favorable prices as a single-seat version, without a software subscription. The following detailed overview shows all the interesting new features in PowerPoint 2021.

Overview of the new PowerPoint features in version 2021

PowerPoint 2021 not only includes numerous improvements and extensions of the previous tools, such as enhanced zoom functions and the use of SVG and 3D graphics, but also some new features.

Specific PowerPoint features for impressive presentations

PowerPoint 2021 offers several new practical features that make presentations even more vivid and interesting:

• Using the Morph feature produces smooth transitions between individual slides; individual objects or text can also be animated.
• The zoom functions also create more dynamic presentations: with Slide Zoom presenters can navigate freely between specific slides, sections and parts of a presentation without visually interrupting it. The zoom effect thus creates a sense of continuity.
• It is also possible via Zoom to specifically highlight only details on slides.
• With Summary Zoom the entire presentation can be summarized on a single slide to achieve dynamic effects.
• Screen presentations can be conducted using the digital Surface Pen or any other pen usable via Bluetooth: this makes it very easy to change slides; likewise, individual areas of a slide can be marked during the presentation to draw extra attention to them.
• The recording functions offer both the ability to record video and audio comments and gestures for digital inking. All available features are clearly provided on the "Recording" tab in the ribbon.
• When exporting a presentation as a video file, the high-resolution 4K option is now also available for crisp movies.

New chart types and 3D models

In addition to the previously integrated graphics and models, the 2021 version offers a number of additional charts as well as three-dimensional models, which further expand the possibilities for illustrating presentations:

• The new integrated 3D models can be rotated 360° and scaled: users can also create such three-dimensional content themselves and insert it into a PowerPoint file.
• By applying the Morph transition, the 3D models can also be animated.
• The now available scalable vector graphics ? also known as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files ? have, like the 3D models, the advantage that they can be enlarged, reduced and rotated as desired without loss of image quality and can be further edited with filters.
• Geographic data can be turned into a map chart in a few steps to, for example, illustrate certain statistical distributions in a region.
• With the new funnel charts, the phases of processes can be illustrated particularly clearly.

General functions

In addition to these new tools and features, PowerPoint 2021 also offers a whole range of other innovations that especially support freehand drawing, simplify the design of accessible presentation documents, and overall make using the program even more efficient.
