Tips
Save PowerPoint Slides as 300 DPI High Resolution Image Files for Publications
(Applies to Office 2019/2016/2013/2010/2007 with SP2/2003)
Follow @motifolio
You may have known already that most of publishers do not accept PowerPoint slides as figures. By default, when you save a PowerPoint slide as an image file, the resolution is 96 DPI. However publishers require 300 DPI or higher for figures. It will be very time consuming to recreate figures by using other graphic software, e.g., Adobe PhotoShop.
This paper shows you step-by-step how to save PowerPoint slides as 300 DPI high resolution images (.jpg, .tiff, et al) directly from PowerPoint.
(Microsoft documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/powerpoint/change-export-slide-resolution)
Adding the registry settings
Export a PowerPoint slide as an image file
Determine the resolution of the image file
Adding the registry settings
Important: The following steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
The following screenshots are based on Microsoft Office 2007 on Windows XP Professional
Exit all Microsoft Windows programs
Click Start, and then click Run
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
Expand the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 (If you are using Office 2003)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0 (If you are using Office 2007)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0 (If you are using Office 2010)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0 (If you are using Office 2013)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0 (If you are using Office 2016)
The example shows for Office 2007
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options
With the Options key selected, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value
Type ExportBitmapResolution, and then press ENTER
With ExportBitmapResolution selected, click Modify on the Edit menu
Select the Decimal option, type the resolution value 300 in the Value data box, and then click OK
Verify you typed the correct value
Click Exit on the File menu. You are done!
Export a PowerPoint slide as an image file
Start PowerPoint, and then open your slide presentation
Open the slide that you want to export
On the File menu, click Save As
In the Save as type box, select the type of image that you want to export your slide as, and then click Save
For example, in the Save as type box, select one of the following:
JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg)
PNG Portable Network Graphics Format (*.png)
TIFF Tag Image File Format (*.tif)
GIF Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
Device Independent Bitmap (*.bmp)
How to determine the resolution of the image file
With the image file selected in the Windows Explorer, point to Properties on the File menu, click the Properties, and then click the Summary tab in the pop up Window as shown below
Before adding a registry value, the default resolution for the exported image file is 96 DPI
After adding a registry value, the resolution for the exported image file becomes 300 DPI
Special note:
By changing registry setting allows you to save a PPT slide to an image with 300 DPI resolution, however the resolution of originally embedded images in PPT slides should not be less than 300 DPI. In other words, you CANNOT bump up the image resolution from low to high.
However you will be guaranteed your saved images from PowerPoint have true 300 DPI if the embedded images in PPT slides are vector graphics. All illustrations we developed are vector graphics which allow you to have not only crystal sharp display on the screen, but also publication ready for your paper submission.

I really appreciate your efforts. Thank You. I really needed it.
Posted on Jul 02, 2015
This was great! As an additional point, for anyone who tried changing the dpi to 300, but only got a final resolution of 279, try adjusting the size of your slide (A4 or B5 width) and you should be able to get to that final dpi (there is a restriction on resolution in ppt based on slide width).
Posted on Jun 12, 2015
Thanks a lot! It really worked. It only seams to have limitations when the dimensions of the images are not standard. Very useful anyway!
Posted on May 17, 2015

Always choose DWORD 32 bit, even if your windows is 64 bit.
Posted on March 12, 2014
Cool! Worked. Thanks a lot!
Posted on March 10, 2014
Using Office 2013, I actually had to create the DWORD as ExportTiffResolution in order to export the files as .tiff format
Posted on March 06, 2014
This is the best tip ever, thank you. It appear that MS office is crippled on purpose: why shouldn't this option be available by default?

(Applies to Office 2019/2016/2013/2010/2007 with SP2/2003)
Follow @motifolio
You may have known already that most of publishers do not accept PowerPoint slides as figures. By default, when you save a PowerPoint slide as an image file, the resolution is 96 DPI. However publishers require 300 DPI or higher for figures. It will be very time consuming to recreate figures by using other graphic software, e.g., Adobe PhotoShop.
This paper shows you step-by-step how to save PowerPoint slides as 300 DPI high resolution images (.jpg, .tiff, et al) directly from PowerPoint.
(Microsoft documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/troubleshoot/powerpoint/change-export-slide-resolution)
Adding the registry settings
Export a PowerPoint slide as an image file
Determine the resolution of the image file
Adding the registry settings
Important: The following steps show you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
The following screenshots are based on Microsoft Office 2007 on Windows XP Professional
Exit all Microsoft Windows programs
Click Start, and then click Run
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office
Expand the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0 (If you are using Office 2003)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0 (If you are using Office 2007)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0 (If you are using Office 2010)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0 (If you are using Office 2013)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0 (If you are using Office 2016)
The example shows for Office 2007
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint
Expand the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\PowerPoint\Options
With the Options key selected, point to New on the Edit menu, and then click DWORD Value
Type ExportBitmapResolution, and then press ENTER
With ExportBitmapResolution selected, click Modify on the Edit menu
Select the Decimal option, type the resolution value 300 in the Value data box, and then click OK
Verify you typed the correct value
Click Exit on the File menu. You are done!
Export a PowerPoint slide as an image file
Start PowerPoint, and then open your slide presentation
Open the slide that you want to export
On the File menu, click Save As
In the Save as type box, select the type of image that you want to export your slide as, and then click Save
For example, in the Save as type box, select one of the following:
JPEG File Interchange Format (*.jpg)
PNG Portable Network Graphics Format (*.png)
TIFF Tag Image File Format (*.tif)
GIF Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
Device Independent Bitmap (*.bmp)
How to determine the resolution of the image file
With the image file selected in the Windows Explorer, point to Properties on the File menu, click the Properties, and then click the Summary tab in the pop up Window as shown below
Before adding a registry value, the default resolution for the exported image file is 96 DPI
After adding a registry value, the resolution for the exported image file becomes 300 DPI
Special note:
By changing registry setting allows you to save a PPT slide to an image with 300 DPI resolution, however the resolution of originally embedded images in PPT slides should not be less than 300 DPI. In other words, you CANNOT bump up the image resolution from low to high.
However you will be guaranteed your saved images from PowerPoint have true 300 DPI if the embedded images in PPT slides are vector graphics. All illustrations we developed are vector graphics which allow you to have not only crystal sharp display on the screen, but also publication ready for your paper submission. To learn more, View & Download Sample Illustrations.

I really appreciate your efforts. Thank You. I really needed it.
Posted on Jul 02, 2015
This was great! As an additional point, for anyone who tried changing the dpi to 300, but only got a final resolution of 279, try adjusting the size of your slide (A4 or B5 width) and you should be able to get to that final dpi (there is a restriction on resolution in ppt based on slide width).
Posted on Jun 12, 2015
Thanks a lot! It really worked. It only seams to have limitations when the dimensions of the images are not standard. Very useful anyway!
