  • In this step-by-step tutorial video, learn how to reduce the file size that a PowerPoint file takes. As an example, I take a PowerPoint presentation and reduce it from almost 70 MB to only 3 MB, and there's no major difference to the person viewing the presentation.

    I really enjoy your presentations. I am a 74- year old College Instructor still working part-time. Going online was a nightmare to begin with, however, following your instructions, particularly on PowerPoint has been invaluable. Thanks a lot!

    Kevin - really like your simple and honest presentation style. I have been using all of these techniques to reduce media heavy presentations for years with similar results. The problem I have is that while using compression and "applying to all pictures" works well for full screen/large photographs with not too much discernible reduction in quality, it really mashes small images - especially logos. I find that I have to delete any logos after compression and re-insert them at full quality otherwise they look terrible. Not a problem if logos are on master slides - but a real pain if they are scattered throughout the presentation.

    Hello Kevin
    Thank you for a informative video. Do you know a way to see the size in megabytes of a particular slide? Some times in wondering which slide that takes up the most space in a PP presentation. In earlier versions of PP we could Publish all the slides individually an then sort them by size (MB) to find the largest slide.
    I tried the things you mention in the video. It did not bring the size down of my PP file. Until I went by the Handout and Notes master views. The size then dropped drastically. There where no pictures or anything else on the Handout and Notes master views - But just pressing them seemed to do the trick.

    Great video! Just wondering if a picture can still be composed of it was set as the slide background (where it doesn't move). or is it better to not set a picture as background and instead to insert it as a picture and send it to the back? which process will give me a smaller file size? Thanks!

My work is very restrictive regarding the use of the cloud, so using CZcams as a video file manager is an easy workaround. Thanks again.

    Bookmarked you as a great tutorial resource, thanks! Question on the Compress Pictures feature. What I found from a quick search online is 1080P = 81 ppi and 4K = 140 ppi. So, seems like Web (150 ppi) would be more then enough for any presentations up to 4K, right? If so, their descriptions are a bit misleading as I'd think I should be saving as HD for 4K. In your demo I noticed HD (330 ppi) was grayed out. Is that because one or more of the images wasn't that high of resolution to begin with?

When I compress photos in a deck like this and make a video of the presentation to be used by the client anywhere, will it have good quality? Basically, I want the quality to be good and the size to be low, so using this technique that you showed, will the quality be good? thank you for your work :)

    Content request: I wish to see Outline View promoted more in the wild.
    Using Outline view can help users stay organized and better enable the Header Styles which makes that step of creating a Table of Contents. Additionally, by focusing on the Outline view, users are less likely to create multiple different styles for text.

    Great topic! File sizes are often an issue. One trick I use on still photos is to use the snipping tool to capture and insert the image. It takes a moment to do, but takes up a lot less memory. It’s also great if you need to capture a screen shot or are making an instructional document. In fact the snipping tool would make a great video topic - it’s a great app.

    • @KevinStratvert
      @KevinStratvert  Před 4 lety +2

      Kevin Stratvert yes, it has already, I’m just still stuck on the old name. I use this tool constantly at work to grab info or images that I need in a hurry but that might not be formatted or accessible for regular printing. It’s also great when needing to report error messages to tech support.

Specifically, love the snip & sketch but would love it more if instead of just freehand draw it also had the ability to draw shapes such as rectangle or oval to highlight items and maybe add an arrow? Unless you have an easier/better suggestion.
