Use this interactive demo to learn how to switch your PowerPoint slides to portrait orientation.

Quick summary

To set portrait orientation in PowerPoint, open the Design tab, navigate to Slide Size, and select Custom Slide Size to change the slide orientation. This five-step process works in both desktop and web versions of Microsoft PowerPoint.


Steps

  1. Go to the Design tab.
  2. Click Slide Size.
  3. Select Custom Slide Size.
  4. Under Slide Orientation, choose Portrait.

📌 Why this matters

Switching PowerPoint slides to portrait orientation is essential for creating vertical presentations, printed handouts, posters, and mobile-friendly content. Microsoft PowerPoint's built-in Slide Size settings make it straightforward to change slide orientation without losing your existing layout. Knowing how to set portrait mode in PowerPoint saves time and ensures your slides match the format required for reports, flyers, or digital signage. This feature is available in both the desktop app and the Microsoft 365 web version via OneDrive.
