## FAQ

### Is this the same library as Aspose.Slides for Java?

It is the Android build of it, distributed through the [Aspose repository](https://repository.aspose.com/webapp/#/artifacts/browse/tree/General/repo/com/aspose/aspose-slides) as an Android-targeted artifact rather than the server JAR.

### What can an Android app export presentations to?

PPT, PPTX, PPS, POT, PPSX, PPTM, PPSM, POTX, POTM and ODP are read and written; PDF, SVG and HTML are export targets.

### Will adding it affect my APK size?

It is a complete presentation engine rather than a thin wrapper over a service, so it is not a small dependency. Measure the packaged size against your release budget before committing to on-device processing.

### Does presentation conversion work without a network connection?

Yes. Everything runs on the device, so an app can open and convert a deck offline.
