Reducing the file size in PowerPoint is always a good idea, particularly if your presentation is photo intense, such as in a digital photo album. Using many large photos in your presentation can cause your computer to become sluggish and possibly crash during your time in the spotlight. Photo compression can quickly reduce the file size of one or all of your photos at the same time. This is a great tool to use if you must email your presentation to colleagues or clients.
