PPTM to CUR conversion is the process of transforming a PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Presentation file (PPTM) into a CUR cursor file format. This conversion extracts or repackages slide graphics, icons, or custom cursor artwork from a presentation into the CUR format so the resulting file can be used as a desktop or application cursor while preserving transparency and hotspot metadata when possible.
