- The primary function of the PRZ file extension is to allow users to compile elements, such as graphics and text, into a presentation slide show.
- The PRZ extension is a graphic category file extension and has a mime type of application with additional mime categories of vnd.lotus-freelance, freelance and x-freelance.
