## Convert POT to GIF in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a POT file and export it as an animated GIF. The resulting file presents the slides as animation frames and can include slide transitions supported by the GIF exporter. The conversion does not require Microsoft PowerPoint.

## Convert POT to GIF using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the POT file and call `save` with `SaveFormat.Gif` to create an animated GIF.

### Python code for converting POT to animated GIF

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.pot")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.gif", SaveFormat.Gif)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```
