## Convert PPTM to PPSX in Python

[*Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET*](/slides/python-net/) lets you convert PPTM presentations to PPSX slide shows programmatically. Load the source file into a `Presentation` instance and save it by using `Presentation.save` with `SaveFormat.PPSX`.

PPSX is the macro-free PowerPoint Open XML Slide Show format. Because PPSX files cannot store VBA macros, use PPSM when macros from the source PPTM file must be retained. You can test the conversion in your [browser](https://products.aspose.app/slides/conversion) or use the Python API in your application.

Install the library from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/aspose-slides/) by using the following command:

### Console/Terminal

```console
pip install aspose-slides
```
