What is a .pptm file?

A .pptm file is a Macro Enabled Microsoft Powerpoint (version 2007 Onwards). This is a code, script or executable format.

How to open a .pptm file

  • VS Code opens and highlights nearly every text-based code format.
  • Never run a script you didn't write or trust.

The registry records this extension against Macro Enabled Microsoft Powerpoint, so software from that family is the most likely match.

How to convert a .pptm file

  • Text-based code needs no conversion — just save with a different extension if a tool insists.

MIME type

When a .pptm file travels over the web, servers label it with this MIME type:

application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12
