How to Compress Images with Microsoft Powerpoint – Guide
PowerPoint presentations often contain many different images and photos. This can become a serious problem as today’s high quality digital cameras produce very high resolution images, much higher than what you need for your on-screen PowerPoint presentation. If you try to add more than five slides with about four large images, your presentation file will get bigger and PowerPoint will run slower, wasting disk space and sometimes crashing. Even if you only put part of the image in the presentation and crop the rest, PowerPoint keeps all the images even if you don’t see the rest of the image. Fortunately, PowerPoint provides the image compression utility that compresses all the images in the presentation in a single step, reducing their resolution to the specific resolution of the output type you specified.

Compress images as a PDF
Another option for compressing your images is to simply convert PowerPoint to PDF. The reason this works so well is that the PDF file format automatically compresses images for you (and removes other media that might influence the file size). That said, you lose a lot of native PowerPoint functionality in the PDF format, so I would only recommend doing this if you’re distributing your slide as PDF handouts.
