    Open up in a image editing program, like microsoft paint or any other image editing
    program and resize and make the size smaller.

    This is a brief introduction to some of the concepts and technical details of reducing the size of image files so that they can be imported into PowerPoint without creating a 40Megbyte monstrosity.
    Why Squeeze Files?

    Graphics files captured using NIH-Image, or scanned using Photoshop can easily grow to upward of 10Megbytes in size. If you have a PowerPoint presentation with 10 such images your PowerPoint file will be over 100Megs. Since the entire presentation must be loaded into the computer's memory (which is rarely larger than 24Megs and must hold the operating system, and PowerPoint as well as your presentation) one finds that it's fairly straight-forward to create a presentation that either takes a very long time to load, or won't run at all. The solution to this problem is to squeeze each image down in size so that the images in your presentation are each as small as possible. Note that once the images are in PowerPoint it's too late to shrink them. Some forethought is required.
    So How Big Should They Be?

    First a quick reminder about file sizes on computers. File size is measure in bytes (a collection of 8 binary digits). The two most common metrics are kilobytes "k's" or kB (thousands of bytes) and megabytes "Megs" or MB (millions of bytes). Files range in size from a few kB for small text files to several MB for programs (like PowerPoint)...
