We've just released PowerPoint Slide Show Converter 2.0: now it has a special mode to generate smaller EXE files by compressing the slides better.

In most cases the new "Compress Better" option can significantly decrease file sizes of converted presentations. We recommend you to use this option for presentations that mostly consist of photographic images.

PowerPoint Slide Show Converter turns a presentation created with Microsoft PowerPoint into a self-running slide show application (executable file) or a screen saver that can be run on other computers without requiring any additional program files.

The conversion is a one-way process, the source .ppt file cannot be restored from the converted .exe file, so PowerPoint Slide Show Converter is also useful to protect PowerPoint presentations from unauthorized editing.
