PPT at a glance
PPT
Convert to PPT when a legacy PowerPoint environment, downstream system, or archived template library still expects the old binary format.
It is useful for maintaining backward compatibility with older desktops or preserving the file family of inherited decks.
For new presentation work, PPTX is generally the more practical target.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
