What Is 123ppt.com and What Does It Offer?

Updated

123ppt.com is a resource site for people who build presentations in Microsoft Office PowerPoint. It supplies PowerPoint templates, animated and video backgrounds, photos and images, music, sound effects, and fonts, and it also sells presentation-enhancement software and custom presentation services. It is aimed at presenters who want a professional look without designing every slide from scratch.

Main resource categories

The site organizes its downloadable and purchasable assets into several sections:

  • PowerPoint templates — professionally designed .ppt/.pptx templates, described as royalty-free, covering themes such as real estate, graffiti/urban, classroom/education, and sports.
  • PowerPoint backgrounds — including animated backgrounds and video backgrounds.
  • Photos and images — visual assets for slides.
  • PowerPoint music — audio tracks for presentations.
  • PowerPoint sound effects — short audio clips.
  • Fonts — typefaces for slide text.

Many templates are also offered in a matching Microsoft Word version, so a document and its accompanying presentation can share the same visual style.

Presentation-enhancement software

Beyond downloadable assets, 123ppt.com develops its own PowerPoint add-on tools:

Product What it does
123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio Inserts and plays full-screen video backgrounds in PowerPoint, with control over speed, transparency, and color; also supports downloading and embedding YouTube video in presentations
123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio Music and sound effect tooling for presentations

The Video Backgrounds Studio is promoted as the first and only application of its kind for full-screen video backgrounds in PowerPoint. A free trial edition (v3.5) is offered for download, listed at approximately 192 MB.

Custom services and supporting content

  • Custom presentation services — the site designs custom PowerPoint templates and presentations on request.
  • Help and community — a PowerPoint help section, a forum, and a free newsletter.
  • Editorial content — presentation articles, a PowerPoint guide, tips, and FAQs.

Who it is for

The site describes its material as "created by presenters for presenters." It fits users who:

  • Work primarily in Microsoft Office PowerPoint (with some Open Office references) and want ready-made templates or backgrounds.
  • Need multimedia elements — video backgrounds, music, or sound effects — that standard PowerPoint does not provide out of the box.
  • Want a consistent look across both PowerPoint decks and Word documents.
  • Prefer to commission a custom design rather than build one themselves.

If you only need a simple slide deck, the free template and background sections are the quickest starting point. If you specifically want video backgrounds or embedded YouTube playback inside slides, the Video Backgrounds Studio trial is the relevant product to evaluate first.
