But as long as you start with a slide size that's proportional to your final printed piece, there's no reason to change the slide size. You can still export images at high resolution (see the VBA code in the link I posted earlier) | |

This said it also depends what your images are, if they are not the photo kind (diagrams, vector, clip art...) you can use more suitable software than Gimp to produce them (Inkscape, or the drawing tool in your office suite, or specialized software for schematics). | |
| Mar 31, 2023 at 3:44 | comment | added | K.Mole | Thanks for pointing that out. The major problem with PPT for my use case is that it is difficult to adjust the size of the canvas because PPT forced everything to scale together. I thought it may be easier to deal with the picture size/resolution requirements and easier arrangement of my graphs with some other professional design software. | |

Somewhere in the 10,000 to 15,000 pixel wide range, which should be more than adequate for most things. Next, if you disable PPT's automatic downsampling (File | Options | Advanced | Do not compress images) your images won't suffer any resolution reduction as you change their sizes on the PPT slide. See rdpslides.com/pptfaq/… for export how-to | |
