Select the quality level for the slide: Low (8-bit), Optimized, JPEG, and High (24-bit). For more information, see the Community article on slide quality.

  1. Low (8-bit): If you choose to publish your slides with Low as an option, the slides your published project has the smallest possible size compared to the other options. The quality of images are lower compared to the other options. This option works well for most images and for all the screen recorded content, but can fail if the image contains too many colors or many colors with different transparencies.
  2. Optimized: If you choose this option, all the images in the project are published as bitmaps (.bmp images). This option may increase the size of your published project.
  3. JPEG: If you choose this option, all the images in the project are published as jpg images.
  4. High (24-bit): If you choose this option, all images in the project are published as 24-bit bitmaps. If you want images with high quality, choose this option.

Note: Selecting the Optimized, JPEG, or High-Quality format may increase the file size and the time to download your project. Use a format other than Low (8-bit) when appropriate.
