How To Decrease Size Of Powerpoint Presentations

Microsoft Office PowerPoint Presentations tend to become bloated especially when you have used a large number of images in the presentation. And the actual problem occurs when you need to e-mail the presentation or fit it in a Floppy Disk (yes some people still use it). Here is how you can drastically decrease the size of your PowerPoint presentations in some simple steps.

How To Compress And Optimize PowerPoint Presentations

1. Open your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
2. Click File —> Save As …
3. In the Save Dialog Box, click on Tools — > Compress Pictures..
4. If you are going to print your slides later check “Print” else check Resolution as “Web/Screen”. The Web/Screen option gives smaller file sizes.
5. Also check “Compress pictures” and “Delete cropped areas of pictures”.
6. Click “OK” and click “Apply” if confirmation comes up.
7. Save your presentation under a different file name.

Now check the size of the new PowerPoint presentation. It will be less by at least 50%.
