## Key features

- **Slides with charts and multimedia:** Slide shows can combine text, charts, drawing objects and multimedia, starting from the templates included with Impress.
- **PowerPoint files:** Microsoft PowerPoint presentations can be imported and modified in Impress, so existing decks do not have to be rebuilt.
- **Animations and transitions:** Dynamic effects, including object animations and slide transitions, can be assigned to slides for on-screen shows that run automatically or manually.
- **Presenter Console:** With a second display connected, the audience sees the slide show while the presenter's screen shows the current slide, the next one, the notes and a timer.
- **Impress Remote:** An open-source Android and iOS app controls a slide show over Bluetooth or a network link, showing slide thumbnails and speaker notes and offering an on-screen pointer.
- **Views, handouts and export:** The Slide Sorter shows thumbnails of every slide and the Handout page pairs slides with text for the audience. Slide timings can be rehearsed, and decks published as handouts or HTML.

## Good for

- People who want a desktop presentation app with no subscription
- Linux users who need to open and edit PowerPoint files
- Presenting from a laptop with a second screen or a phone remote

## Worth knowing

- There is no hosted cloud version; The Document Foundation says it does not plan a service like those from Google and Microsoft.
- On Android the foundation offers only a viewer with experimental editing, and Impress Remote for Android and iOS controls a slide show but does not edit it.
- The Mac App Store version costs $8.99 and the Microsoft Store version also carries a charge; downloads from the website are free.
- The Presenter Console works only when two displays are connected.
