Photo Compression

Hi Marcus

Thanks for getting in touch. By default, PowerPoint does not compress any pictures. The advantage of this is it allows you to resize the pictures at a later date and not lose image quality. This will however, particularly for large numbers of images, create a presentation of large file size.

If after inserting your images you click on any one of them, look on the Picture menu for the Compress Pictures option. This will allow you to specify the resolution to which you wish to downsample the image(s). You can reduce it down to suitable resolutions for printing or viewing online.

Kind regards
