Optimizing or compressing images removes redundant or otherwise unnecessary data from image files. This results in a smaller file size and faster loading on websites. The following step-by-step instructions were developed for Microsoft Word/PowerPoint 2010.
- Select the image you wish to compress
- From the Picture Tools ribbon, click Format → Compress Pictures
- In the Compression options section, select Apply only to this picture → OK
