Understanding key and ppsx file formats
KEY files are presentation documents created by Apple Keynote, part of the iWork suite for macOS and iOS. They contain slides, images, animations, and multimedia, and are primarily used on Apple devices.
PPSX files are PowerPoint Show files created by Microsoft PowerPoint. Unlike PPTX, which opens in editing mode, PPSX files open directly as a slideshow, making them ideal for presentations.
