## Convert PPS to BMP in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a PowerPoint 97–2003 slide show (`PPS`), render its slides, and save each rendered slide as a `BMP` image. The conversion does not require Microsoft PowerPoint.

## Convert PPS to BMP using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the PPS file, access each slide through a variable, call `getImage`, and save the rendered image with `ImageFormat.Bmp`.

### Python code for converting PPS slides to BMP

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.pps")
try:
    slide_count = presentation.getSlides().size()

    for slide_index in range(slide_count):
        slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(slide_index)
        slide_image = slide.getImage(2, 2)
        try:
            file_path = f"slide-{slide_index + 1}.bmp"
            slide_image.save(file_path, ImageFormat.Bmp)
        finally:
            slide_image.dispose()
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## How to convert PPS slides to BMP in Python

Follow these steps to render the slides in a PowerPoint 97–2003 slide show as separate BMP images.

Install [**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](https://docs.aspose.com/slides/python-java/installation/).

Configure the package and start the Java Virtual Machine in your application.

Open the source PPS file with `Presentation` and access each slide through a variable.

Call `getImage` for each slide and save the result with `ImageFormat.Bmp`.
