## Merge PPSX in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET**](/slides/python-net/) lets you merge PPSX slide shows by cloning slides from a source `Presentation` into a destination `Presentation`. The cloned slides retain their layouts, shapes, styles, text, formatting, comments, and animations. Save the destination presentation with `SaveFormat.PPSX` to produce one PowerPoint slide show.

## Merge PPSX files using Python

Clone each source slide with `add_clone`, then call `save` with `SaveFormat.PPSX`.

### Python code to merge multiple PPSX files

```python
with slides.Presentation("presentation1.ppsx") as destination_presentation:
    with slides.Presentation("presentation2.ppsx") as source_presentation:
        for slide in source_presentation.slides:
            destination_presentation.slides.add_clone(slide)

    destination_presentation.save("merged_presentation.ppsx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPSX)
```
