PowerPoint Vs Prezi

PowerPoint and Prezi are two presentation software options. PowerPoint uses a linear slide format and is included in Microsoft Office, while Prezi uses a canvas format where the presenter determines the path and allows for zooming. Both offer themes, customization options, and the ability to insert media like images, video, and sound. However, Prezi has limitations on fonts available and PowerPoint has more drawing tools and file type compatibility. Overall, both allow for the creation of digital presentations but take different approaches to layout and navigation.
