Export PowerPoint Slides in High Resolution

PowerPoint does not only allow you to create PowerPoint presentations on your laptop or PC; it also gives you the opportunity to print or export them.

However, there is a problem with this: PowerPoint only saves the slides as images at 96dpi by default.

In this article, we will show you how you can still increase the export resolution, allowing you to save your slides in higher quality. This process can be accomplished in just a few steps.

Export Your Slides in High Resolution with These Two Methods

Method 1: Change Export Resolution Settings

The export resolution of a PowerPoint slide is typically set to 96 dots per inch (dpi). To save your slides with a higher resolution, you will need to edit these settings. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on “Start” and select the “Run” option.

   

2. In the dialog box that appears, type “regedit” and confirm with “OK.”

   

3. When the control window opens, confirm that it is okay for changes to be made.

4. Look for one of the following registry keys corresponding to your version of PowerPoint:

   • PowerPoint 2016, 2019, PowerPoint for Office 365:
     • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\PowerPoint\Options
   • PowerPoint 2013:
     • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\Options
   • PowerPoint 2010:
     • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options
   • PowerPoint 2007:
     • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options
   • PowerPoint 2003:
     • Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\Options

   

5. Select the command “new” in “options”, then choose “edit,” and click on DWORD value (32-bit).

   

6. Enter “ExportBitmapResolution” as the value name and press Enter.

7. Choose the “Decimal” option in the “Edit DWORD value” window, select your desired resolution from the table, and then click “OK” to save your changes. Close the window as usual.

Method 2: Export Your Slides as Images

If the first method seems too complex, you can alternatively export your slides as images. Here’s how:

1. Open your presentation in PowerPoint and select the slide you want to export as an image.

2. Click on “File,” then select “Save As.”

3. Choose one of the following image formats for your slides:

   • JPEG (.jpg)
   • PNG (.png)
   • GIF (.gif)
   • Bitmap (.bmp)
   • Tag Image File Format (.tif)

   

4. Click “Save.” A dialog box will appear, allowing you to decide whether to export all slides or just the selected one.

The Advantages of Exporting PowerPoint Presentations in High Resolution

Exporting your presentations provides several benefits. For instance, you can play your presentation on various devices without being restricted to just one. Additionally, you can share your presentation with colleagues or customers while controlling how the content is displayed to them.

When sending PowerPoint presentations as email attachments, it’s common for layouts to shift and ruin your design. Understanding file formats and export options can significantly enhance your presentation experience.
