How to compress PPT files (images remain large even after compression)
Thread Content
Some PPT files contain hardly any images, yet they still have sizes of several dozen MB; even after compressing the images, the size only decreases slightly. Even by removing the unnecessary slide masters, the file size remains large. There are also no audio files in such PPTs. What other reasons could possibly explain such a large file size?
Found it online; hope it helps you. . 1. Too many images have been inserted into the PPT document. 2. A certain font has been embedded in the PPT document. Solution: To address the issue of too many images in the PPT document: 1. Click the “File” menu button on the menu bar, and select “Save As” from the menu that appears. 2. In the “Save As” dialog box that appears, click the “Tools” button located to the left of the “Save” button, and select “Compress Pictures” from the drop-down menu. In the “Compress Image” dialog box, check the option “Remove the cropped area from the image”, select the “Email” option, then click the “OK” button and followed by the “Save” button. Solution to embed a certain font in a PPT document: 1. Click the \"File\" menu button on the menu bar, and select \"Options\" from the menu that appears. 2. In the window that opens, choose \"Save\"; you will then see an option labeled \"Embed fonts in file\" at the bottom right of the window – simply uncheck it.
Also, based on personal experience, do not insert images in BMP format. If it’s necessary to include such images, convert them to JPG format first before inserting them; do not try to insert them by directly copying and pasting
It’s not due to the image. The method you mentioned is from 2003, right? But the fonts from 2007 were also chosen according to your preferences; yet it still doesn’t work
It’s someone else’s PPT – it’s too large, and it’s difficult to send via email. There are only about 40 pages and a few images, yet its size is 50MB; on average, each page is almost 1MB

It would be great to have samples. If it’s not confidential, feel free to share them so everyone can take a look
