Easy-to-Use Online Image Resizing for Your PowerPoint Images
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Keeping the file size of your PowerPoint images under control is one of the most important components to keeping your overall presentation running smoothly and streamlined. Too often PowerPoint presentations are built with very large image files that are scaled down within the program. While the image looks small on the screen, the full size image is still embedded in the presentation, only it is scaled on the fly. This scaling process can greatly slow down slide transitions and affect other aspects of the presentation, particularly while presenting an online PowerPoint presentation during an online web conference or webinar.
MY-i-size.com is a free online resource to actually shrink the size of your image files. The end result will look the same as if you scaled it within PowerPoint, however the program won’t have to scale the image each time it is loaded.
MY-i-size allows you to upload an image from your computer, or input the URL of an image to grab from the web. You only need to input the width (in pixels) that you want the image to be resized to, and it will proportionately calculate the height. This application is also useful in quickly resizing images for sending in emails or posting on your blog.
