- 19. CONNECTING THE SLIDES Save Slides as Images Once your infographic is ready, you’ll need to save the PowerPoint slides as images. Simply go to File Save As and select PNG (Portable Network Graphics). This is critical as PNG is the ONLY file type that will give your infographics the high quality they need for publishing. Go to Free Online Tool Your slides will be saved in a separate folder. After you save your slides as PNG, go to your browser and navigate to http://pixlr.com/editor/. Here, select the option to “Open Image from Computer.” Find your saved folder from Step 1, and select the first slide (the very top of your infographic), and open.
- 20. Change the Zoom and Size Adjust your zoom in the bottom left-hand corner to 20%. Then in the top navigation bar, go to Image Canvas Size. Under canvas size, extend the Height to 4000. This will allow your canvas to be large enough to paste in each slide from your PowerPoint to build the infographic. You can increase this Height number when needed. Copy and Paste Now all you have to do is open the rest of your slides saved as PNG’s by going to File Open. Use Control-A to select the entire slide, then hit Edit Copy. Then go to your image with the increased Height, and paste! You can move around the image to ensure all the pieces are lining up correctly.
- 22. Repeat Continue to copy and paste your slides until your entire infographic is pieced together! Once you’re done, you can use the crop tool in the toolbar to crop the infographic and eliminate any extra white space added by adjusting the canvas height in step two. Save as PNG When you’re done, you once again need to ensure you save the file in PNG format to ensure optimal visual quality. And voila! You have an infographic. CAUTION: Once you exit your tab on this free online tool, all your content will be lost. Your browser does not save any content, so be sure to save everything as you go.
