#How to compress pictures in powerpoint 2013 online how to#
In this tutorial we’ll show you how to compress images in PowerPoint 2013. The greatest factor in any presentation’s size is its media. If you need to email your PowerPoint presentation to other people, it’s important to get the file size down.
The image on the right has an arrow pointing to one of the cropping handles. (In 2003, click the Crop button on the Picture toolbar.) You’ll see special cropping handles on the image. Click the Format tab, then the Crop button. In this case, it would be better to crop the bottom, rather than get rid more of the man’s head.
Hmmm, where shall I crop? You have to make a decision, based on the content of the image. The only way to get the photo to fit is to crop it.
I could resize it to make it shorter, but then it would be too narrow. Here’s a slide with a photo that is too tall to fit inside the white space. But that’s the only way to get the shape you need without distorting the image. When you crop the image, some of it will be hidden (or perhaps lost forever). That’s a different issue with a different solution. Here’s the result.īut what if you need to reshape an image? Maybe it’s too wide or too high. In the image to the right, the proportion is good only the size is too big So, I moved it to the lower-right corner of the white area and used the upper-right corner handle to make the image a little smaller. If not, find a different image that has more pixels. Check your images in Slide Show view to see if they are still clear. The image will look grainy (and unprofessional). If you resize an image too much, especially to make it larger, you run the risk of losing resolution. Just say no to the temptation and read on below where I explain what to do if the shape of your image needs to be adjusted. Using a side or top handle will distort the image and make your people look fat or undernourished. Then click and drag a corner handle inward or outward.ĪLWAYS USE THE CORNER HANDLES TO RESIZE AN IMAGE! The side and top handles are useless and should not exist. The image to the right has an arrow pointing to one of the handles. To resize an image select it so that you see “handles” on the corners and sides. You resize an image when it’s the right shape/proportion, but just the wrong size. Sometimes you insert an image and it’s the wrong size. These are basic and important skills and you’ll use them even in other programs, because they are universal. I’ve discovered that some people don’t know how to resize images in PowerPoint and also don’t know how (or when) to crop an image.
