What Types of PowerPoint Templates and Media Does 123ppt.com Provide?

Updated

123ppt.com provides royalty-free PowerPoint templates, matching Word templates, and a set of media assets you can drop into presentations: video backgrounds, backgrounds, photos and images, music, sound effects, and fonts. It also sells enhancement software and custom presentation services. The site is aimed at presenters who want ready-made visual and audio material rather than building everything from scratch.

PowerPoint Templates

The templates section is the core of the site. Templates are organized by theme and use case, and the examples shown on the homepage include:

  • Real Estate PowerPoint Templates — Real Estate & Homes
  • Graffiti PowerPoint Templates — City & Urban
  • Classroom Pupil PowerPoint Templates — Education & Teaching
  • Ice Hockey PowerPoint Templates — Sports & Athletics

These are described as royalty-free, so you can use them in your own presentations without a per-use license. New templates are added to the PowerPoint Templates section on a regular basis, so the catalog changes over time rather than staying fixed.

Matching Word Templates

Several PowerPoint templates have a Word counterpart, which lets you keep documents and slides visually consistent. The site presents these as a way to maintain "the same professional consistent look and feel across all your Microsoft Office presentations and publications."

Examples from the homepage:

Word Template Category Also Available As
Teen Pregnancy Word Templates People: Teen & Young Adult Microsoft PowerPoint Template
Cutting Costs Word Templates Finance & Economy Microsoft PowerPoint Template

The reverse also holds — for example, the Real Estate, Graffiti, Classroom Pupil, and Ice Hockey PowerPoint templates are each noted as also available as a Microsoft Word Template.

Media and Backgrounds

Beyond templates, 123ppt.com lists these media categories:

  • PowerPoint video backgrounds — full-screen video backgrounds that play inside a presentation
  • PowerPoint backgrounds — static background designs
  • Photos & images
  • PowerPoint music
  • PowerPoint sound effects
  • Fonts

The video background capability is tied to a separate product, the 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio, described as an application that lets you insert and play back full-screen video backgrounds and control their speed, transparency, and color. The site also states you can download and embed YouTube video in PowerPoint presentations through it. A free trial edition (v.3.5) is offered, listed at approximately 192 MB.

Software and Services

Alongside downloadable assets, the site lists several enhancement tools and services:

  • 123PPT Video Backgrounds Studio
  • 123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio
  • 123PPT Multimedia Studio
  • 123PPT Presentations Player
  • Custom presentation services

How to Decide If It Fits Your Needs

Use this as a quick filter:

  • You need a themed slide deck fast → check the PowerPoint Templates section for your topic (real estate, education, sports, urban, and so on).
  • You need documents and slides to match → look for templates flagged as also available in Word.
  • You want motion or audio in slides → the video backgrounds, music, and sound effects categories, plus the Video Backgrounds Studio, are the relevant parts.
  • You want something built for you → the custom presentation services are the relevant offering.

One practical note: the trial edition of the Video Backgrounds Studio is a large download (about 192 MB), so plan for that if you want to test the video background feature before committing.
