Convert PPTM to POTX in Python

Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET lets you convert PPTM presentations to POTX files programmatically. Load the source file into a Presentation instance and save it by using Presentation.save with SaveFormat.POTX.

POTX is the macro-free PowerPoint Open XML template format. Because POTX cannot store VBA projects, macros from the source PPTM file are not retained in the output. You can test the conversion in your browser or use the Python API in your application.

Install the library from PyPI by using the following command:

Console/Terminal

pip install aspose-slides
