What PPTX File Viewer does, with a checked example
A .pptx file is not a document; it is a ZIP archive holding XML parts, one per slide, plus masters, layouts, images, and media. This tool unpacks that archive in your browser, reads the slide parts, and draws each slide for you, with controls to step through the deck in presentation order. The thing people get wrong: what you see is a re-rendering, not a snapshot. Fonts you do not have installed are substituted, effects are approximated, and animations are skipped, so the deck can look and read differently than it does in PowerPoint.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
A 13-slide .pptx, 16:9 widescreen, with title text and one picture on each slide.
->
Expected output
13 slides rendered one at a time in presentation order, starting with slide 1, with controls to move forward and back through the deck.
The slide count and order are read from the slide list inside the package, so they are determined by the file itself: a 13-slide deck must show exactly 13 slides in the order the author set.
