Compress a PowerPoint to email it

A photo-heavy deck can easily blow past the 25MB email limit. CompressEasy Desktop shrinks the images inside your PPTX so the presentation fits and sends — without uploading your slides anywhere.

Get the free CompressEasy Desktop app for macOS and Windows to compress decks for email offline.

Available in the free desktop app

Videos over 200 MB and PowerPoint decks run fully offline with bundled FFmpeg. PDF compression stays local and requires Ghostscript.

How it works

  1. Open CompressEasy Desktop and drag in your .pptx.
  2. Choose Balanced or Maximum compression.
  3. Attach the smaller deck to your email and send.

Get under the 25MB limit

Gmail and Outlook cap attachments around 25MB. Compressing the embedded images usually brings a heavy deck comfortably under that.

Send the real file, not a link

Keep sharing a normal attachment instead of forcing recipients through a cloud link, which is handy for clients and reviewers.

Keep the deck intact

Your layout and content are preserved — only image weight is reduced, so the version you send looks like the one you built.

Will recipients notice a quality drop?
