## Convert POTX to FODP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a PowerPoint Open XML template (`POTX`) and save it as an `FODP` file. FODP stores an OpenDocument presentation as a single flat XML document, which can simplify inspection, version control, and automated processing.

## Convert POTX to FODP using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the POTX file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Fodp`.

### Python code for converting POTX to FODP

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.potx")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.fodp", SaveFormat.Fodp)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```
