PPTM to PPSX conversion is the process of transforming a Microsoft PowerPoint macro-enabled presentation (.pptm) into a PowerPoint Show file (.ppsx) that opens directly in slideshow mode. This conversion preserves slides, layout, multimedia and most animations while changing the default behavior so the file launches as a presentation rather than an editable deck.

PPTM files use the MIME type application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroenabled. PPSX files have the MIME type application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow. Typically, PPTM files are used for creating and editing macro-enabled presentations while PPSX files are used for delivering slide shows without enabling modifications. Both formats support multimedia codecs for embedded audio and video.

PPTM files are editable PowerPoint presentations that may contain macros, allowing automation and advanced features. PPSX files are PowerPoint Slide Show files designed to open directly in presentation mode without editing capabilities. Choosing PPSX over PPTM is ideal when you want to distribute presentations for viewing only, ensuring content integrity.
Keep individual PPTM files under 100–250 MB for smooth web conversion; large embedded videos inflate size and processing time.
To preserve quality, use the high-quality export option and avoid re-compressing images before conversion; if concerned, embed rather than link multimedia.
For batch conversions, group files by similar resolution and media settings to maintain consistency and reduce processing overhead.
Note format limitation: PPSX does not allow VBA macros to run automatically; macro-enabled behavior is disabled after conversion for security.
