This means your slides can appear differently on different devices.

After all, you have worked hard on your project, done your research, practice your speech, and are all set.

The slide size is f 10 x 7.5 inches or 25.4 x 19.05 cm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Widescreen is the default for MS PowerPoint versions from 2013 onward and is ideal for 4k monitors, LCDs, Smart TVs, HDTVs (these are wide aspect ratio screens), new\/HD projectors, YouTube, Microsoft Surface devices, etc. Widescreen slide sizes are 13.33 x 7.5 inches or 33.867 x 19.05 cm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Though you have more options for slide size available in macOS and Windows 10, like A4, or letter paper, the above two are the only ones available for iPhones. To optimize the display, you can also enter your custom size in pixels, centimeters, or inches. Ideally, change the size before you design your presentation to make the canvas a perfect fit. Once you\u2019ve added content, changing the slide size can cause distortion of the images and elements. It\u2019s, therefore, helpful to know the resolution of the device on which you\u2019ll need to present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-slide-size-in-powerpoint-microsoft-powerpoint-2016-and-2019\">How to change slide size in PowerPoint Microsoft PowerPoint 2016 and 2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-windows-10\">Windows 10<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start a new project or open your existing PPT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Open the <strong>Design<\/strong> tab<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Customize<\/strong> on the right, and choose <strong>Slide Size<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it\u2019s hidden, click on Customize; next, click on slide size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the drop down select <strong>Standard (4:3)<\/strong>, <strong>Widescreen (16:9)<\/strong>, or <strong>Custom<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>By clicking on <strong>Custom<\/strong>, you get a popup window to select the size you want, change orientation, or other aspects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose the option \u2018<strong>Slides sized for:<\/strong>\u2019 and get a dropdown menu with pre-set dimensions to choose from.

This can cause problems when you use such images in your PowerPoint presentations, as the resolution is much more than what you need to present it on a screen. Ideally, <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/how-to-compress-powerpoint\/\">you should know to compress pictures<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, so your file size is not too large and you can load it quickly before the presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-recap\">Quick Recap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s encapsulate what we have learned so far:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you change the slide size of a PowerPoint slide, it is applied to all the slides.

He creates content and campaigns for SlideBazaar, a global platform that offers PowerPoint templates and tools used by professionals across industries. His work spans newsletters, long-form articles, product messaging, SEO projects, and video scripts. All centered around one goal. Helping people communicate ideas more clearly through better-structured presentations. Instead of treating slides as decoration, Swathi focuses on narrative flow, visual hierarchy, and the logic behind each frame. Born in Kerala and raised in Muscat, he brings a performer\u2019s instinct to his work, shaped by years spent traveling and playing music. That background influences how he thinks about presentations. Not as static documents, but as staged experiences that unfold in time. Today, he writes, teaches, and builds content that helps professionals turn messy ideas into sharp, confident slides that actually hold attention.","sameAs":["https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/skpswat","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/swatkp\/reels\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/swatkp\/"],"honorificPrefix":"Mr","birthDate":"1995-01-02","gender":"male","knowsAbout":["presentations","PowerPoint"],"knowsLanguage":["English","Hindi","Malayalam"],"jobTitle":"Content Specialist","worksFor":"SlideBazaar","url":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/author\/swathi\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14282"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14282\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20156,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14282\/revisions\/20156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slidebazaar.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
