PPSM to HDR conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft PowerPoint Slide Show file saved with macros (PPSM) into an HDR image or presentation-compatible HDR format. This conversion extracts slides, converts slide visual content to high dynamic range imagery or HDR-compatible assets, and packages them so they preserve wider brightness and color ranges suitable for HDR displays and workflows.

PPSM files use the MIME type application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow and are typically used for slide show presentations. HDR files often use image or video codecs that support high dynamic range content, such as HDR10 or Dolby Vision, depending on the specific implementation. This conversion process involves transforming static slide content into a format optimized for HDR display capabilities.
The HDR (.HDR) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like PPSM.

PPSM files are PowerPoint Slide Show files that primarily focus on presentation playback, whereas HDR files support a broader range of high dynamic range content, offering richer visuals. While PPSM is limited to Microsoft PowerPoint environments, HDR files are more versatile and compatible with various media platforms.
Keep individual PPSM slides under 50–100 MB where possible to avoid long processing times; large embedded media can push sizes higher.
To preserve maximum color and brightness range, export at 16-bit or 32-bit float HDR (OpenEXR) rather than doing automatic LDR tone-mapping.
For batch conversions, group files by similar resolution and color profile to speed processing and ensure consistent output settings.
Be aware that macros in PPSM are not preserved in image outputs; any interactive behavior will be lost when exporting to HDR images.
