Convert PPTM to PPTX in Python

Python API for converting PPTM presentations to PPTX files

Convert PPTM to PPTX in Python

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

PPTX is the macro-free PowerPoint Open XML Presentation format. Because PPTX files cannot store VBA macros, use PPTM when macros from the source presentation must be retained. 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
