POTM files are template files used primarily by Microsoft PowerPoint to maintain consistent slide designs. In contrast, PFM files are presentation files that focus on portability and compatibility across various platforms. While POTM retains template settings, PFM is optimized for broader usability and sharing.
Keep individual POTM files under 100–200MB for smooth, reliable conversions; very large files may time out or require compression.
To preserve quality, avoid aggressive image downsampling and choose PFM high-quality or lossless output when available.
For batch conversion, group similar templates (same media and resolution) and process them in smaller batches of 10–20 files to reduce memory spikes.
Be aware that PFM targets may not support VBA macros; macro behavior can be lost or disabled during conversion—remove or export macros separately if needed.
