Powerpoint: enlarge and reduce the picture - how it works

In order for your PowerPoint presentation to succeed, the pictures must also be correct. In this article, we will tell you how to enlarge and reduce inserted graphics.

PowerPoint: Enlarging and reducing images and graphics

Once you have inserted pictures in PowerPoint, you can scale them in two different ways and adapt them to your needs:

• Select the desired image and small blue dots appear in the corners and on the edges of the graphic (see photo). Hold it down with the mouse and use it to drag the image to the desired size.
• Alternatively, right-click on the image and select the "Size and Position" option. In the new window, you can specify the height and width of the image in centimeters and scale the graphic. Save your settings with "OK".
• If you not only want to scale your photo, but want to cut away individual parts of the photo, you have to do it a little differently. You can find detailed instructions in another article.
