- Press Delete on the slides to remove, or type their numbers (for example 2, 5-7).
- Save the new presentation and download it.
Good to know
- Slides keep their layout, design, speaker notes, charts, SmartArt, pictures and animations.
- Sections, links between slides, custom slide shows and the slide count are updated; links to deleted slides are removed.
- Previews are simplified (charts, SmartArt and effects aren't drawn), so they are only a guide to which slide is which.
- Pictures, notes and charts used only by deleted slides are removed from the file, so it gets smaller.
- "Delete hidden slides" marks every slide hidden in the slide show.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use an old .ppt file?
No. The old PowerPoint 97–2003 format (.ppt) is a different kind of file. Open it in PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides or LibreOffice Impress, save it as .pptx, then use that file. To just look at a .ppt, use the PowerPoint Viewer.
Is my presentation uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser, on your device.
