Convert PPTM to SVG in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via Java can load a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation (.pptm) and export each slide as a separate Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg) image. Each SVG contains a static rendering of one slide; VBA macros and interactive slide-show behavior are not included. Microsoft PowerPoint is not required.

Convert PPTM to SVG using Python

Create a Presentation from the PPTM file, access each slide through a variable, and call writeAsSvgToBytes to create the SVG data.

Python code for converting PPTM slides to SVG

presentation = Presentation("presentation.pptm")
try:
    slide_count = presentation.getSlides().size()

    for slide_index in range(slide_count):
        slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(slide_index)
        file_path = f"slide-{slide_index + 1}.svg"
        svg_data = bytes(slide.writeAsSvgToBytes())

        with open(file_path, "wb") as output_file:
            output_file.write(svg_data)
finally:
    presentation.dispose()
