Files with the PWZ extension are known as PowerPoint Wizard Add-Ins. PowerPoint was developed by Microsoft and is currently the leading application for creating, editing and showcasing commercial and non-commercial presentations. It is available for both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS.

PowerPoint presentations contain individual pages known as "slides" which are fully customizable. These may contain text, pictures, videos, graphics and other objects that can be arranged freely within the page. Additionally, PowerPoint documents may contain Macros which are used to save command sequences and replicate them automatically.

PWZ files are used to store special Auto Content Wizard Add-Ins. Just like normal add-ins, these can provide additional functionality (i.e. macros, extra commands, new tools) to PowerPoint presentations. They can also be used to generate a new presentations automatically and add generic content according to the information entered by the user in the wizard.
