The KOffice application is recommended to open the file. It was released by KDE e.V.

How to open KPT file?

The main problem with KPresenter Template is that the KPT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file KPT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KPT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install KOffice

The first step is to check if the computer has the KOffice program installed. This can be achieved by typing KOffice into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support KPT files.

Programs to open KPT file

Remember to download programs supporting KPT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of KOffice with KPT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KPT file still does not use the KOffice program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KPT file with the KOffice program.

Step 3. Update KOffice to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the KOffice program, it is possible that KPresenter Template requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the KDE e.V website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KPT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KPT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KPT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KPT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KPT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KPT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KPT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KPT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KPT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
