Congratulations, it's time to save and export our images. Let's go see how to do it. So the first option I showed you before how you can save an individual image. So let's do that again, just for review. We go to File, Save As, you can change the name if you want, or you can leave it the way it is. We're going to choose PNG format and click Save.
Then it asks which slides Do you want to export all slides are just this one, we're going to choose just this one. So here's the image we just saved. The second way is batch save. We'll go to File, Save as in this case, I definitely want to rename this. If I'm doing regular weekly batches of images that I'm going to share on Instagram, I want to keep track of the folders separately. So I'm going to call this June one.
Then again, I'll select the PNG format. Click Save, select all slides. And then PowerPoint lets me know that each slide in the presentation has been saved as a separate file in the folder that I've designated. Click OK. Let's take a look. So here's the folder called June one, just like I named it, let's open the folder will find all our images that were created in the PowerPoint template have been exported to this folder. Let's take a look.
There we are slide 1234, etc. These look great, don't they? Now there's a third way you can export images, particularly if you have one that you didn't crop and you want to export it full sized. Here's how you do it. With your mouse click outside of the image and then drag so you highlight The entire image and all the text, right click on the image, and click Save as picture. And again, we want to save it as a PNG.
In this case, it's going to save it as picture. You can also rename it if you want, but I'll just leave it that way. Click Save. And let's go take a look at that. So here we are, the picture we just saved is the full size that we created it uncropped. This way, if you have some images you really love and maybe you want to share them on Facebook or Twitter.
Or maybe you want to create a desktop background for yourself. You can do it right out of PowerPoint. And briefly I wanted to touch on image type. The reason we're choosing PNG is because it is a lossless type of compression, which means that the image is saved without losing any of the quality. When we save as JPEG, that is a lossy file format, which means that we lose some of the quality of the image when we save it as a JPEG Once we upload our image to Instagram, they will compress it and then convert it to a JPEG so there will be some loss of quality on their end, which is the reason we want to make sure our image is the best it can be before we upload it to Instagram. For your class project, you should create seven images in the blank seven slides template and then share one, your favorites or all seven of your creations in the Project Gallery.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and please share your insights your experience and what inspired you to create these images after you've completed your project. I'll see you in the last video with some final thoughts.
