Poser compressed prop file
File type: 3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file
A ppz file is a compressed Poser prop file. It stores a prop or object used in a 3D scene, such as furniture, scenery, or other non-figure content.
The format belongs to Poser, a 3D figure design and animation application developed by Smith Micro Software.

The ppz file extension is associated with Poser, a 3D figure design and animation application developed by Smith Micro Software. A PPZ file is a compressed version of a Poser prop file, whose uncompressed counterpart uses the pp2 extension.
PPZ files contain props and objects used in Poser scenes and animations. A prop can include its geometry and associated scene information, allowing it to be loaded as reusable content in a Poser library.
PPZ is a legacy Poser content format. It is primarily encountered in older prop libraries, although compatible versions of Poser and DAZ Studio can work with many files of this type.
Open a ppz file in Poser on Microsoft Windows. It may need to be placed in the appropriate Poser runtime library before it appears in the program's prop library.
DAZ Studio for Windows and DAZ Studio for Mac can also load compatible Poser prop content. The result can vary when a prop uses features that the importing program does not support.
There is no need to convert a PPZ file for use in Poser: the program can read the compressed prop directly. To create an uncompressed Poser prop, load the file in Poser and save it to a library as a regular prop file.
For use in other 3D applications, open or import the prop in Poser or DAZ Studio and export its geometry to a format supported by the target application. Such an export may not preserve all Poser-specific scene information.

File extension ppz was also used in old versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, a worldwide most popular powerful tool you can use to create and edit dynamic and great-looking presentations.
These ppz files are just ZIP compressed ppt created with the use of the "Pack and Go" feature of Microsoft Powerpoint 97 through 2002.
MIME types:
application/mspowerpoint
application/ppt
You should be able to open these files in Microsoft Powerpoint, but ZipZag (and perhaps other ZIP utilities) may be able to extract data from *.ppz files.
Once the presentation is extracted, you can convert it like pretty much any otherr PowerPoint presentation.
