## Convert POT to POTX in PHP

Use [*Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java*](/slides/php-java/) to load a PowerPoint 97–2003 POT template and save it in the PowerPoint Open XML POTX template format.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat::Potx` to create the POTX file. POTX is a macro-free format, so use POTM when the output must support VBA projects.

You can install the library from [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/aspose/slides) using the following command:

### Console/Terminal

```console
composer require aspose/slides
```
