## Convert PPS to POTM in Python

[Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/) can load a PowerPoint Show (`.pps`) file and save it in the macro-enabled POTM format without Microsoft PowerPoint. POTM is an Open XML format that can store VBA macros.

The library retains the presentation content and layout while changing the file format. Load the source file with `Presentation`, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Potm`.

## How to Convert PPS to POTM in Python

Load the source PPS file into a `Presentation`, then save it with `SaveFormat.Potm`.

### Python tutorial for converting PPS into POTM
