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

Quick summary

Changing a PowerPoint presentation from landscape to portrait takes just a few clicks using the Design tab and Custom Slide Size dialog. This tutorial walks you through every step so your slides display in the correct orientation without losing content quality.


Steps

  1. Open your presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint.
  2. Go to the Design tab.
  3. Click Slide Size.
  4. Select Custom Slide Size.
  5. Switch to Portrait orientation.
  6. Choose how your content scales to fit the new orientation, preserving quality.
  7. Click OK to confirm your changes.

📌 Why this matters

Switching a PowerPoint presentation from landscape to portrait orientation is a common need for creating flyers, reports, and mobile-friendly slide decks. Microsoft PowerPoint's built-in Slide Size and Custom Slide Size options make this change quick and non-destructive. Intelligent scaling options ensure existing content is automatically adjusted to fit the new portrait layout without manual reformatting. Mastering this setting gives presenters full control over slide dimensions for any use case or output format.
