How to export high-resolution (high-dpi) slides from PowerPoint

• 10 contributors
• Applies to: PowerPoint for Microsoft 365, PowerPoint 2019, PowerPoint 2016, PowerPoint 2013, PowerPoint 2010, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003

You can change the export resolution in Microsoft PowerPoint by saving a slide in a picture format. There are two steps to this process: Use the system registry to change the default resolution setting for exported slides, and then save the slide as a picture at the new resolution.

Step 1: Change the export resolution setting

Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

By default, the export resolution of a PowerPoint slide that you want to save as a picture is 96 dots per inch (dpi). To change the export resolution, follow these steps:

Exit all Windows-based programs.

Right-click Start , and then select Run . (In Windows 7, select Start , and then select Run .)

In the Open box, type regedit , and then select OK .

Locate one of the following registry subkeys, depending on the version of PowerPoint that you're using:

PowerPoint 2016, 2019, PowerPoint for Microsoft 365

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2013

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2007

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2003

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Options

Select the Options subkey, point to New on the Edit menu, and then select DWORD (32-bit) Value .

Enter ExportBitmapResolution , and then press Enter.

Make sure that ExportBitmapResolution is selected, and then select Modify on the Edit menu.

In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, select Decimal .

In the Value data box, specify a resolution of 300 . Or, use the parameters from the following table.

See the Limitations section for more information when you set this value.

Select OK .

On the File menu, select Exit to exit Registry Editor.

Step 2: Export the slide as a picture

In PowerPoint, open your slide presentation, and then open the slide that you want to export.

On the File menu, select Save As .

In the Save as type box, select one of the following picture formats:

• GIF Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
• JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg)
• PNG Portable Network Graphics Format (*.png)
• TIFF Tag Image File Format (*.tif)
• Device Independent Bitmap (*.bmp)
• Windows Metafile (*.wmf)
• Enhanced Windows Metafile (*.emf)

You may want to change the picture's save location in the Save in box. You may also want to change the name of the picture in the File name box.

Select Save . You will be prompted by the following dialog box:

Select Current Slide Only . The slide is saved in the new format and resolution in the location that you specified in the Save in box.

To verify that the slide is saved in the resolution that you specified, right-click the picture, and then select Properties .

Limitations

When you set the ExportBitmapResolution registry value in PowerPoint, there's a maximum DPI limitation to consider for some versions of PowerPoint.

Maximum DPI is dependent upon the slide size. The formula is as follows: maxdpi = (sqrt(100,000,000 / (slide with * slide height)), where slide width and height are in inches.

For example, for a standard 13.3" x 7.5" slide, the equation would be: sqrt(100,000,000 / (13.333 * 7.5) ) = 1000.

PowerPoint 2019, 2016, 2013, and 365

There is no fixed DPI limit. Slide export is limited only by how large the resulting bitmap gets. PowerPoint can support bitmaps up to 100,000,000 pixels (width x height). For standard widescreen slides (13.3" x 7.5"), this means a maximum DPI of 1,000. For the older style 10" x 7.5" slides, this typically means a maximum DPI of 1,155.

PowerPoint 2010 and older

The maximum resolution that PowerPoint can export is 3,072 pixels, based on the longest edge of the slide. For example, the standard 10" × 7.5" slide has a maximum effective DPI value of 307. The 3,070-pixel result (10 × 307 = 3070) falls within the 3,072-pixel limit. However, any DPI setting that's greater than 307 for a standard slide reverts to the limit of 3,072.

The 3,072-pixel limit also applies to saving the slide programmatically.

For example, the following code programmatically saves a picture that has the dimensions of 3072 × 2304 pixels:

How to change resolution of PowerPoint Presentation when creating it

When preparing a PowerPoint presentation, the resolution must sync along with monitors display or projector resolution. If resolutions do not appropriately set, the whole experience becomes slow. In this post, I will show how you can change the resolution of PowerPoint Presentation when you create it. It works with Office 365, Office 2019, 2017, and 2016.

How to change the resolution of PowerPoint Presentation when creating it

The problem occurs especially with the images. Say, for example, the photos are of resolution 1024 X 768, and the computer has 800 X 600. While running the slide show, it will take a toll on the system and make it a little slower. The option lets you set up a resolution for PowerPoint when you export it.

1] In the earlier version of Microsoft Office

In the previous versions of Office, there used to be a direct option to setup resolution. However, now you have the option to choose DPI. If you are using an older version of Office, follow the method below:

• Make a new slide show or open an existing one.
• Now click on Slide Show on the menu.
• In the slideshow menu, you will see Monitors, which is the last item.
• In this, you get an option as Resolution.
• You have the option to set from 640 X 480 to 1024 X 768.
• If you are going to show it on the same machine, choose the last option which says, Use Current Resolution.

It is also useful when you are planning to give a presentation on where resolution is high, All you need is change the resolution here and select show on a projector, and you are done.

2] Office 365 PowerPoint

• Click on File > Options > Advanced > Image Size and Quality
• Change default resolution to the one you want. I have given the DPI and resolution combination below.
• Once you save, it becomes the default resolution.

Here is how you can add more if you find any of them missing in different versions of Office PowerPoint.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2013

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2007

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options

PowerPoint 2003

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Options

• Click the  Options  subkey, point to  New  on the  Edit  menu, and then click  DWORD Value .
• Type ExportBitmapResolution, and then press Enter.
• Make sure that  ExportBitmapResolution  is selected, and then click  Modify  on the  Edit  menu.
• In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, select  Decimal .
• In the  Value data box, type the value of the resolution that you want, such as 300. Or, use the parameters in the above table.

Now you will never have any problem even if the computer has a different resolution. Read our tips on giving a presentation on the dual monitor.

How do I change the resolution and aspect ratio of a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation?

Microsoft powerpoint can be a powerful yet simple tool to create digital content. this article describes how you can change the resolution, aspect ratio and design format of a powerpoint presentation in powerpoint to fit your screen., set custom slide size.

When you are starting on a new PowerPoint presentation from scratch or when using your company profile template, the default slide size and resolution may not be optimal for what you are trying to do.

• Open your PowerPoint presentation and select the Design tab.
• Select Slide Size and select Custom Slide Size.
• Select Custom and enter your custom height and width. If you don't know what measurements to enter, please check the list below.
• Select OK (If prompted, then select Maximize )

You have now saved a new custom design, aspect ratio, and resolution of the PowerPoint presentation you are working on. Meaning you have ensured that the content will be optimal on your screen and not look "stretched" or "pixelated."

Tip: We recommend you check out the Databeat PowerPoint Publisher Plugin . Our user friendly plugin can help save time and energy when creating content and of course allow you publish your presentation as pictures or video to DatabeatOMNI directly from PowerPoint! Tip: Setting custom slide size can help you create content in different sizes and formats. I.E. to create custom size banners for websites, content for video walls with a special aspect ratio or even to create content for Social Media!

Slide size measurements in PowerPoint

PowerPoint's default measurement is in centimeters or inches, but when it comes to creating content for screens, you need to think about pixels instead!

Here is a list that can save you some time when setting up a new widescreen presentation. If you are creating content for portrait/vertical screens, swap width, and height.

Meaning 1 px = 0,026458333 cm if you want to calculate your own.

Tip: We recommend not going below Full HD (1920x1080) when creating content for a default Widescreen. To optimize please check out the resolution of your screen. Tip: In PowerPoint you may be able to enter your custom height and width in pixels by simply swapping "cm" for "px" to indicate you want pixels instead of centimeters. I.E. instead of entering "28,575 cm", try entering "1080 px" and see for yourself!

But why is this important?

Please note that they all have the same aspect ratio (16:9) and that Full HD is a quarter of a 4K UDH display. Check out Wikipedia's article on Graphic display resolutions if you want to learn more.

With this in mind, it is essential to know that when you publish content with low resolution to a screen that has a high resolution, it will be upscaled.

Here is a simplified comparison between the same logo in decent quality versus an inferior quality version, which is upscaled to the same size. This illustrates how your content will look bad and "pixelated" on a screen.

What is the process for changing the resolution of a PowerPoint presentation?

Changing the resolution of a PowerPoint presentation can dramatically improve its visual quality, particularly when it’s displayed on larger screens. To adjust the resolution, you’ll need to follow these steps:

• Open your PowerPoint presentation.
• Go to the “Design” tab on the menu.
• Click on the “Slide Size” dropdown in the “Customize” group.
• Select “Custom Slide Size…” from the dropdown menu. This will open a pop-up dialog box.
• In the dialog box, you can choose from various preset options or set your own custom dimensions. Remember, the standard aspect ratios are 4:3 (for traditional presentations) and 16:9 (for widescreen presentations).
• After selecting your desired dimensions, click “OK”.
• A new dialog box will appear asking how you want to scale the existing slides to the new size. You can choose either “Maximize” (to use as much space as possible) or “Ensure Fit” (to make sure all the content fits on the new slide size).
• Click “OK” to apply the changes.

It’s important to remember that changing the resolution can affect the layout of your slides. You may need to adjust text boxes, images, and other elements to make sure everything fits and is visually balanced.

Finally, keep in mind the resolution of the device where your presentation will be displayed. A higher resolution doesn’t always mean better quality. If the display device has a lower resolution than the presentation, it can cause issues with how the slides are shown.

At SlideGenius , we have a team of presentation experts who can help optimize your PowerPoint presentations, ensuring they are visually stunning and effective, no matter what screen they’re displayed on.

Often I want to take my PowerPoint slides and use them in Camtasia or Adobe Premiere.  When using those products I render at Full HD 1920 x 1080.  However, when I use the Save As command in PowerPoint to save my slide as a PNG the dimensions are never what I am looking for.

To get your slides to export as 1920 x 1080 you have to adjust the slide size before you export. From the ribbon select Design and click Slide Size then select Custom Slide Size….

Use the table below to get the desired resolution:

If prompted for scaling try both Ensure Fit and Maximize to see which works best for your slide.

What is the Size of a PowerPoint Slide in Pixels?

By: Author Shrot Katewa

When creating a PowerPoint presentation, it is essential to determine the appropriate size for your slides. Understanding the size of a PowerPoint slide in pixels is crucial to ensure that your presentation looks great on all devices, from desktops to mobile devices.

The standard size of a PowerPoint slide is 1024×768 pixels and the widescreen PowerPoint slide is “1920×1080” pixels. It can also be adjusted based on your preferences or the requirements of the platform on which you plan to present your slides.

In this article, we will discuss the standard size of a PowerPoint slide in pixels or inches as well as how to adjust it to fit your needs. Let’s get started!

1. What is the Size of a PowerPoint Slide in Pixels?

In Microsoft PowerPoint, there are multiple preset slide sizes available. You can also customize the size of the slide using the “Custom Slide Size” feature available in the application. Depending on the slide size you select, the size of the slide in pixels will vary.

1.1 What is the Size of a PowerPoint Standard Slide in Pixels?

The “Standard (4:3)” option in Microsoft PowerPoint used to be the only size option in the beginning since most screens from 2010 and before were that size. The standard slide size in PowerPoint is “1024×768” pixels. 

1.2 What is the Size of a PowerPoint Widescreen Slide in Pixels?

In Microsoft PowerPoint, the default size of the slides is the “Widescreen (16:9)” option. The widescreen PowerPoint slide is “1920×1080” pixels.

2. What is the Size of a PowerPoint On-Screen Show Slide in Inches?

In Microsoft PowerPoint, the size of the slides is mostly measured in inches. Using the “Slide Size” dialog box, you can check the dimension of a slide in inches. Depending on the type of the selected slide, the slide size varies. There are three different “On-Screen Show” slide sizes available in Microsoft PowerPoint.

2a On-Screen Show (4:3)

The “On-Screen Show (4:3)” slides are “10×7.5” inches in size. This is the “Standard” slide size.

2b On-Screen Show (16:9)

The “On-Screen Show (16:9)” slide size is “10 x 5.625” inches in dimension. This is the “Widescreen” option which is the default slide size in PowerPoint.

2c On-Screen Show (16:10)

The “On-Screen Show (16:10)” slides are “10 x 6.25” inches in width and height respectively.

3. How to Find the Size of the Slide in Inches?

Using the “Slide Size” dialog box in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can find the size of the slides in your presentation in inches. To do so, follow the 3 quick steps.

Step-3: Click on the “OK” button

In the “Slide Size” dialog box, you can now see the size of the slide in inches in the “Width” and “Height” boxes. Then click on the “OK” button at the bottom of the dialog box to close it.

4. How to Change the Size of a PowerPoint Slide?

In Microsoft PowerPoint, you can change the side of the slides using the “Design” menu. However, you can only change the size of all the slides in a presentation at once. To change the size of the slide in PowerPoint, follow the 3 simple steps.

The first step is to open the “Design” menu. To do so, click on the “Design” tab in the menu ribbon located at the top of the screen.

How to Change Slide Size or Dimensions in PowerPoint

Change PowerPoint Slide Size (Widescreen, Standard or Custom)

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated October 25, 2024

Applies to: Microsoft ® PowerPoint ® 2016, 2019, 2021 and 365 (Windows)

You can change the slide size or aspect ratio of a PowerPoint presentation in all versions. The default slide size or dimensions is widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio). You can also enter a custom slide size if you prefer (including entering slide size in pixels). The best time to set slide size is when you first set up your PowerPoint presentation before you add any content. If you change the size later in the process, you may have to deal with distorted pictures and you may also need to adjust the position and size of various objects on slides in Normal View and in the slide master(s) and layouts in Slide Master View.

In this article, we'll review:

When to use widescreen or standard sizes

Change slide size to widescreen or standard, change slide size to a custom size, issues when changing slide size, dimension differences between different slide sizes, tips when changing slide size.

You should never change slide size just before running a presentation as you may not be satisfied with the results. If you already have a presentation with images and other content, it's also a good idea to change slide size on a copy of the presentation so you can keep the original deck and slide size.

Note: Some Ribbon tabs may appear with slightly different names if you are working with PowerPoint 365 and have a smaller screen or different display settings. Buttons on the Ribbon may appear as icons only and are also affected by screen size and display settings.

The most common slide sizes or aspect ratios are typically used as follows:

• Widescreen or 16:9 aspect ratio is frequently used for onscreen presentations using a projector, monitor or a widescreen TV. Older projectors used the standard aspect ratio but most new projectors are designed for widescreen.
• Standard or 4:3 aspect ratio is often used if slides are intended to be printed on letter size paper.

Slide size changes affect the entire presentation. You cannot change slide size for single slides.

To change slide size to widescreen or standard size:

• In Normal View, click the Design tab in the Ribbon.
• Click Slide Size in the Customize group. A drop-down menu appears.
• Select Widescreen, Standard or another option from the drop-down menu. A dialog box appears with options to maximize content or scale to fit (this dialog appears only if you are moving from a larger to a smaller slide size).
• Select the desired option.

Slide Size appears on the Design tab in the Ribbon:

The following dialog box appears in PowerPoint to maximize content or scale to fit only when you change slide size to a smaller size (such as widescreen to standard):

If you select Maximize, the slide content will not be resized when you change to the smaller slide size.

If you select Ensure Fit, PowerPoint will scale your content to fit the smaller slide size.

You can use custom slide sizes. Simply choose options from the Slides sized for drop-down menu in the dialog box (such as A4 paper size) or enter custom dimensions.

To change slide size to a custom size:

• Choose Custom Slide Size from the drop-down menu. A dialog box appears.
• Select an option from the Slides sized for drop-down menu or enter the desired slide size in the Height and Width boxes.
• A dialog box appears with options to maximize content or scale to fit (this dialog appears only if you are moving from a larger to a smaller slide size).

Note that the measurement system in PowerPoint dialog boxes is based on your system settings. If you would like to change the measurement system, check out our article on How to Change the Measurement System in PowerPoint.

The following dialog box appears when you select Slide Size and then Custom Slide Size:

You can create posters in PowerPoint by entering a custom slide size such as 36 inches wide by 56 inches high or 91.44 cm wide by 142.24 cm high. The maximum slide size in PowerPoint is 56 inches or 142.24 cm. As a best practice, set the slide size before adding content to the poster.

Many PowerPoint users are not aware that you can enter slide size in pixels (simply enter the measurement with px beside the number). This is useful in a number of situations such as using PowerPoint to create social media posts. If you enter slide size in pixels (such as 200px), when you tab to another box or close the dialog box, PowerPoint changes the pixels to the equivalent in the current measurement system.

When changing slide size in existing presentations with content, 4 common issues occur:

• Pictures may be distorted as PowerPoint tries to adjust images to fit slide size. Images on slides in Normal View will be affected as well as images on the slide master(s) and layouts. If pictures are distorted, you will need to either manually resize each image or delete them and insert them again.
• Objects such as placeholders and shapes that have been created in PowerPoint are not in the position you'd like. You may need to move objects or reset one or more slides (on the Home tab in the Ribbon, click Reset in the Slides group).
• Extra space is created if you change to a larger slide size. You may need to move or resize objects and adjust the slide master(s) or layouts in Slide Master View.
• If you have changed to a smaller slide size, you may need to increase font size for placeholders and text boxes.

In PowerPoint 2013 and later versions, widescreen (16:9) format measurements are different and are set to 13.33 inches wide by 7.5 inches high or 33.867 cm wide by 19.05 cm high. This matches the height of the 4:3 format.

To avoid issues in PowerPoint related to slide size, you should:

• Try to set slide size as a first step after you create a presentation and before you have entered any content. In 2013 and later versions, the default is widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio).
• If you have changed slide size in a presentation with content, review your slides to be sure you are satisfied with the results. You should also check the slide master(s) and layouts in Slide Master View.
• Never change slide size just before running a presentation as you may not be pleased with the results and you won't have time to fix your slide deck.
• If you have created a presentation with content, make a copy of the presentation first and change slide size on the copy.

Final Thoughts

Keep in mind that widescreen is normally used for on screen presentations and standard is often used for printed presentations.

If you have inserted a video on a PowerPoint slide, you can display a custom thumbnail (or Poster Frame) for the video during a slide show. The thumbnail will display when you run a PowerPoint slide show and disappears when you start the video. For most videos, the thumbnail that displays is the first frame of the video clip. You can use the Poster Frame command to display a different frame in the video clip or a picture from another source as a thumbnail. A picture thumbnail could be either an image or an icon.
