POTM to G3 conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft PowerPoint macro-enabled template file (.potm) into a G3 presentation format (.g3), enabling compatibility with platforms or devices that require the G3 format. This conversion preserves slide layouts, styles, and embedded macros where supported, while rewrapping content to the G3 container and adjusting media or scripting to match G3 capabilities.

POTM is a Microsoft PowerPoint template format primarily used for creating presentation templates, while G3 is a file type optimized for graphic and image data compression. POTM files support complex slide designs and macros, whereas G3 files focus on efficient image storage. Converting from POTM to G3 shifts the file from a presentation template to a more compressed graphic format.
Keep individual POTM files under 100–250 MB for fastest, reliable conversions; split very large template libraries into smaller batches to avoid timeouts.
To preserve macro behavior, test converted G3 files in the target viewer because G3 support for VBA/macros can be limited; embed actions as supported scripts or export functionality to compatible formats if needed.
For best visual fidelity, choose the High quality G3 setting; if file size matters, use Medium and inspect animations and embedded media after conversion.
Use batch conversion for many templates, but validate a single representative file first to confirm macros, slide masters, and custom fonts convert correctly.
