POTM to PALM conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Template file (POTM) into a PALM presentation package, preserving slide structure, macros, and embedded media where possible. This conversion adapts template layouts and assets into the PALM format so presentations created from the template can be opened and edited in tools that support PALM files.

POTM files are Microsoft PowerPoint template files that support macros, primarily used for creating consistent presentation designs. PALM files are optimized for lightweight playback and broader device compatibility, often used in mobile or web-based presentation environments. While POTM focuses on template creation, PALM emphasizes efficient presentation delivery.
Keep individual POTM files under 50–200 MB for fastest, most reliable conversions; very large templates with many high-resolution assets may require pre-optimization.
To preserve formatting and macros, convert directly from POTM or PPTM rather than from exported images; ensure macros are allowed and noted in the conversion settings.
For batch conversion, group templates with similar assets and use the same quality/compression profile to maintain consistent output and reduce processing time.
Expect that some embedded fonts and specialized add-ins may not fully transfer; embed fonts in the POTM or use common system fonts before converting.
