## Convert PPSM to PNG in PHP

Need to convert PPSM files to PNG programmatically? With [*Aspose.Slides for PHP via Java*](/slides/php-java/), you can render every slide in a PPSM presentation as a PNG image with a few lines of PHP code.

Aspose.Slides provides a straightforward presentation-processing API for PPSM-to-PNG conversion. You can also test presentation conversions in your [browser](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion) or export PPSM files to many other supported formats.

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

### Console/Terminal

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

## How to Convert PPSM to PNG in PHP

These are the steps to convert a PPSM file to PNG using PHP.

Load the PPSM file into a `Presentation` instance.

Access each slide through a variable and call its `getImage` method.

Save each slide image to the generated file path with `ImageFormat::Png`.

## System Requirements

Before running the PHP conversion sample, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

1. Install PHP 7, add the PHP directory to the system `PATH`, and set `allow_url_include` to `On` in `php.ini`.
1. Install JRE 8 and set the `JAVA_HOME` environment variable to the installed JRE directory.
1. Install Apache Tomcat 8.0 as described in the [installation guide](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/php-java/installation/).

### This sample code shows PPSM to PNG PHP Conversion

```php
$presentation = new Presentation("input.ppsm");

    $slideCount = java_values($presentation->getSlides()->size());

    for ($slideIndex = 0; $slideIndex < $slideCount; $slideIndex++) {
        $slide = $presentation->getSlides()->get_Item($slideIndex);
        $slideImage = $slide->getImage(1, 1);

        try {
            $filePath = "slide_" . ($slideIndex + 1) . ".png";
            $slideImage->save($filePath, ImageFormat::Png);
        } finally {
            $slideImage->dispose();
        }
    }
