.pptm file extension

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A .pptm file is a macro-enabled PowerPoint presentation that contains one or more embedded VBA macros in addition to slides with text, images, and formatting. Macros allow presenters to automate repetitive tasks — such as updating data fields or triggering animations — directly within the file. Because .pptm files can run executable code, they are treated with caution by security tools and should only be opened from trusted sources.

LIZ AI brings intelligence beyond macros to your PowerPoint environment. It autonomously updates content, checks brand compliance, and prepares presentations across your organization — automatically.
