- Download your new .POTX file.
What to expect

- Rendering of legacy binary effects can shift subtly in the XML-based format.
Frequently asked questions
Does the template design survive?
Yes. Slide masters, layouts, theme colors, and fonts convert into the modern
POTX template, so the design is preserved.Why convert POT to POTX?
POTX is the current template format, supported by PowerPoint 2007 and later and by other suites, whereas POT is the legacy 97-2003 binary format.
Where does a POTX open?
POTX opens in PowerPoint, LibreOffice Impress, and Google Slides, and creates a new presentation from the template when launched.Are macros carried over?
No. POTX cannot store macros (that is the separate POTM type), so any VBA in the binary POT is dropped. Some legacy binary effects may render slightly differently once rebuilt as XML.
