PowerPoint Too Big to Email

The first thing people do with an oversized deck is delete slides, which is the one thing that does not help: the pictures live in the file once and stay there. It is worth one minute of looking before cutting anything.

This shows the parts by size, names the biggest ones and says which tool takes the weight out: re-encode the pictures, extract the audio and video, remove the unused masters, or drop the embedded fonts.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these keeps the deck looking the same?
Re-encoding pictures to the size they are actually shown at, and removing unreferenced parts, are invisible to the viewer. Extracting media and removing embedded fonts do change the file — the report says so for each one.
Can it just make the file smaller?
It does not modify anything, on purpose. The compression and cleanup tools are one click away from the report, and you can compare their result against this baseline.
