How to Set Your Slide Size in Pixels

FATIMA: How do you count your treasure, Kasim—one by one, With each small trinket weighed beneath the sun? KASIM: By fingers, by digits—one by one it runs. FATIMA: And when your hoard grows great, enough to fill a chest? How then, dear Kasim, do you count the rest? KASIM: Ha! On palms, on handfuls—bundled best! FATIMA: And what of your poor brother, whose pockets hold but dust? How does he tally all his dreams and wanderings just? KASIM: (laughing) By foolish fancies—wind and whim; in sleep, in trust! FATIMA: No, no—‘tis measures true you must employ, By buckets, by barrels, by casks that hold your joy! Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, by Veniamin Smekhov
By default, PowerPoint uses centimetres for slide dimensions. To switch to pixels, just type something like “1920px” for the width or height in the Slide Size settings. It works on macOS too, although Windows turns 1920 px into 25.397 cm, while macOS converts it to 67.73 cm. Hat tip to @mskit for discovering that. P.S. You can size shapes the same way. ～ #powerpoint #howto #2k24
