PPTCompressWhere PPTCompress does better
- You choose the quality. Pick a preset, or set the resolution and JPEG quality yourself. YouCompress says it uses the best parameters automatically; its page offers no settings.
- Preview before you commit. See the estimated new size and compare any picture before and after, before the file is written.
- Keep the pictures that matter. Untick a picture, such as a chart or a signature, to leave it exactly as it is.
- Duplicates and unused pictures removed. In .pptx files, identical pictures repeated by a template are stored once, and pictures the deck never shows are removed.
- No ads. PPTCompress shows no advertising. YouCompress pages carry Google ads.
- Never bigger than the original. The result is checked; if it is not smaller, you keep your original.
