Why is my PowerPoint so large?
Most PPT files balloon for a few common reasons. Our compressor handles all of them, so you can skip the Slide Master rabbit hole.
High-resolution images
Stock photos and screenshots saved at 300 DPI take 5–10× more space than the ~96 DPI needed for screen and projector use.
Embedded videos and audio
MP4 and MOV clips are the biggest contributor. We downsample embedded video to 480p and playback stays intact.
Custom fonts embedded in the deck
Embedded fonts can add 1–5 MB per typeface. We strip duplicates and unused weights while keeping your typography intact.
Unused slide masters and layouts
Templates often ship with dozens of layouts you'll never touch. We remove the ones your slides don't reference.
Hidden content and old revisions
Cut shapes, off-canvas objects and previous edits stay inside the .pptx file until you compress it.
Legacy .ppt format
The old binary .ppt format stores everything uncompressed. Re-saving as .pptx alone shaves 20–40% off the size.
Blazing fast, even for large files
Most files process in under 10 seconds. Our server-side engine parses text, images, and layout in parallel.
