How to Compress PPT File Size | Reduce PowerPoint Size

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!

Just yesterday I was trying to figure out a way to reduce ppt size. Thank you very much Kevin, especially for the 'Compress Pictures' part..

Well done Kevin! I'm learning a lot through your series even as a seasoned Microsofty :)

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.

Yet to watch all of your videos....however your series has made our lives much more simpler....Keep it are all very practical and are so many hidden features that we were not aware

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.

Just watched your video on how can I reduce the size of my file and it really helps me a lot thank you so much!

[HolyCrossHrSecSchoolDimapur]

I convert into windows media video then convert into mp4 file. It reduces 1/5th size. But it takes more time. One advantage is there any one can watch in through their mobile mobile . Thank you bro.

Thanks alot Kevin
I really needed this video 😇
And I wish that you can help me with printing and the setting.
Especially removing the boarders around the slide in power point or the page in word.
I am a teacher. And sometimes I need to print the article or picture with out westing papers and with more interesting results.
Thank you again and hope to answer my question 💐😁

You are so clear in sharing tutorials Kevin. Great to watch all your videos. I'm learning so much.

[TylerStanczak]

Stumbled upon this randomly and slide 3 is awesome hahha love this Kevin!

[Careers-Adviser]

This is life-changing for me. Nice one Kevin, keep them coming. The only thing I would add is to how to create a private area within your own YouTube account to host the videos. My work is very restrictive regarding the use of the cloud, so using YouTube as a video file manager is an easy workaround. Thanks again.

Great video, nice to see stuff that I didn't know about.

Staying with PowerPoint, s suggestion for a future video is how to recover a corrupt PowerPoint file. These are the bane of my life and it would be great to be able to recover someone's presentation. Thanks.

Nice. Thanks for info. Your way of speaking slowly helps us to understand and digest info. As English is not my native language. Thanks again.
