## Convert PPSM to POTX in Python

[Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/) can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint slide show (`.ppsm`) and save it in the macro-free Open XML POTX format without Microsoft PowerPoint. POTX cannot store VBA projects, so macros from the source file are not included in the output.

The conversion retains presentation content such as slides, layouts, themes, and supported multimedia. Load the source file with `Presentation`, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.Potx`.

## How to Convert PPSM to POTX in Python

Load the source PPSM file into a `Presentation`, then save it with `SaveFormat.Potx`.

### Python code for converting PPSM to POTX

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

## Steps to Convert PPSM to POTX in Python

The conversion loads the macro-enabled PowerPoint slide show and writes its content in the macro-free Open XML POTX format.

Install [Aspose.Slides for Python via Java](/slides/python-java/).

Configure JPype and make the Aspose.Slides package available to your Python project.

Create a `Presentation` from the source `.ppsm` file.

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.Potx` and a `.potx` output path.
