My Verdict
Since I don’t have any corrupted files, I couldn’t test the efficiency of the software. I have one wishlist of the software. It will be better if it can repair files in batch mode.
I had a corrupted .pptm file, tried this software but it was unable to repair my corrupt file then I switched to Stellar Phoenix PowerPoint repair software and problem was solved.
