## Convert PPS to PPSX in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via Java**](/slides/python-java/) can load a legacy binary PowerPoint slide show (PPS) and save it as a macro-free Open XML slide show (PPSX). The converted file retains the slide show document type and opens directly in slide show mode in compatible applications. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

## Convert PPS to PPSX using Python

Create a `Presentation` from the PPS file, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Ppsx`.

### Python code for converting PPS to PPSX

```python
presentation = Presentation("presentation.pps")
try:
    presentation.save("presentation.ppsx", SaveFormat.Ppsx)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
```

## How to convert PPS to PPSX in Python

Follow these steps to convert a legacy PowerPoint slide show to the Open XML PPSX format.

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`.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.Ppsx` to create the PPSX slide show.
