POTX to FB2 Converter

POTX (PowerPoint Template XML) is the Open XML template format for Microsoft PowerPoint, introduced with Office 2007. A POTX file is a ZIP archive containing XML parts that define slide masters, slide layouts, theme colors, theme fonts, theme effects, placeholder configurations, and default content — everything needed to establish a consistent visual foundation for new presentations. When applied, a POTX template creates a new PPTX document inheriting the template's complete design system, including multiple slide layout variants (title, content, two-column, comparison, blank, and custom layouts) each with precisely positioned placeholders. The XML-based structure brings advantages over the legacy POT format: templates can be inspected and modified using standard XML tools, design elements are cleanly separated into dedicated files (theme.xml, slideMaster.xml, slideLayout.xml), and built-in ZIP compression yields smaller file sizes. One advantage is design system management — POTX files encapsulate an entire visual identity as a distributable package, and the modular XML structure makes it straightforward to update individual elements like color schemes or font stacks without rebuilding the entire template. Broad compatibility is another strength: POTX templates work in PowerPoint on Windows and macOS, LibreOffice Impress, and online platforms. The format integrates with PowerPoint's template gallery and organizational template libraries, enabling centralized design governance across large teams.
