## Merge PPTX in Python

[**Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET**](/slides/python-net/) is a presentation-processing library that can combine multiple PPTX files. To merge presentations, clone each slide from a source presentation into a destination presentation. The cloned slides retain their content, layouts, formatting, shapes, comments, and animations.

## Merge PPTX files using Python

Open the destination and source presentations, clone each source slide into the destination presentation, and save the merged result as a PPTX file.

### Python code to merge multiple PPTX files into one presentation

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

    destination_presentation.save("merged.pptx", slides.export.SaveFormat.PPTX)
```

## How to merge PPTX using Aspose.Slides for Python API

Follow these steps to merge two PPTX files into one presentation in Python.

Install [**Aspose.Slides for Python via .NET**](/slides/python-net/) from PyPI.

Import the `aspose.slides` package into your Python project.

Load the destination and source PPTX files with the `Presentation` class.

Iterate through the source slides and append each one to the destination by calling [`add_clone`](https://reference.aspose.com/slides/python-net/aspose.slides/islidecollection/add_clone/).

Call `save` with `SaveFormat.PPTX` to write the merged presentation to one PPTX file.
