Compress PPT online — shrink PowerPoint in seconds

A bloated PPTX is almost always full of inserted screenshots and photos. This tool re-encodes every image inside the PowerPoint right in your browser, then rebuilds the file smaller while preserving the slide layout. 100% local — your presentation never leaves your device. Works with PowerPoint, WPS and LibreOffice files, and is perfect before sending by email or uploading to a portal.

How to compress a PPT file

1

Select your PPTX

Drag & drop or pick a .pptx file. Old binary .ppt files are not supported yet — save them as .pptx in PowerPoint first.

2

Pick a mode

Small file shrinks the most (recommended for email); Balanced keeps more detail; High quality is near-lossless for only slightly smaller output.

3

Compress & download

Everything happens locally in your browser. Download the compressed file and send it — the final size is shown before saving.

Why choose this tool

Local, private processing

Files are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded — confidential decks stay on your device.

Batch PPT compress

Select several PPTX files at once, compress them together and download all as a ZIP.

Three quality modes

Small, Balanced and High quality presets let you trade size against image detail with one click.

Layout-safe recompression

Only the images are re-encoded; slides, animations and text stay untouched and the deck opens correctly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compress PowerPoint without losing quality?

Pick High quality mode: images are only resized when they exceed 2560 px and are re-encoded at 90% quality, so slides look identical on screen. For email, Balanced (80%) is visually lossless in practice.

Why is my old .ppt file not supported?

.ppt is the old binary PowerPoint format, not a ZIP container, so browsers cannot edit it. Open it in PowerPoint and use Save As → .pptx, then drop it here.

Why didn't the file shrink much?

PPT size mainly comes from images. If your deck is mostly text, charts or embedded video, image recompression has little effect — replace or re-encode the video first, then compress.

What about embedded video and audio?

Videos and audio are not re-compressed in v1; they are usually the single largest part of a deck. Compress the video with a dedicated tool, embed the smaller file, then run this tool for the images.

The process is slow for large files — is it stuck?

Files over 100 MB are read fully into memory and repacked, so first-time processing can take a while. The progress bar keeps updating; close the tab and retry with a smaller deck if needed.
