Compressing Images in PowerPoint

After inserting all images and reaching the final stage of completing your presentation, compress images to reduce file size.

Step 1: Right click on any image to bring up the menu and choose Format Picture…

Step 3: Click the Compress button

Step 2: Click on the Picture tab

Step 4: Select All pictures in document, Print, Compress pictures,

and Delete cropped areas of pictures and then OK and OK.

Step 5: Save your PowerPoint.

Tip: Once you have compressed an image, do not Copy and Paste it into another slide and then enlarge that image.

The image will become distorted. It’s best to Insert a new copy of the image and then repeat Steps 1-5.
