PowerPoint running slow?
Optimise Ninja finds out why.
Is your deck show-safe?
Optimise Ninja scans your presentation — and the machine running it — for everything that could go wrong before doors open. Then it fixes it, without touching your original file.
The problem it solves
You’ve built a great deck. But is the file clean? Are the fonts all present? Are those hero images quietly eating 40MB of disk? Does this venue laptop have enough RAM? Will PowerPoint stutter when it hits the video on slide 12?
Optimise Ninja answers all of that in a single scan — and gives you a ready-to-show package before you step on stage.
Scan — see everything at a glance
Hit Run Scan and Optimise Ninja checks both the deck and the machine:
Machine Readiness
Windows version, PowerPoint version, Office bitness (32/64-bit), installed and available RAM, CPU, GPU, free disk space, and connected display configuration.
Presentation Health
Slide count, file size, unsaved state, embedded vs. linked media, hidden slides, and any slide-level anomalies worth flagging.
Font Risk
Every font in the deck, whether it’s installed, and whether any are missing on the current machine — the single most common cause of presentation disasters.
Image Risk
Images flagged as oversized or very large, with detail on which slides they’re on and how much space they’re consuming.
Media Risk
Embedded and linked video/audio files, with warnings if any are linked externally and therefore at risk of breaking on a different machine.
The scan produces a full plain-text report. No changes are made to your presentation.
Fix It — create a Show Package
Once you’re happy with the scan, hit Fix It. Optimise Ninja creates a Show Package — a timestamped folder beside your presentation containing:
- An optimised copy of the deck (your original is untouched)
- The full scan report as a text file
- A Show Package Manifest listing exactly what was changed
You choose what goes into the optimised copy:
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Remove Comments | Strips any reviewer comments from the copy |
| Remove Document Properties | Clears metadata (author, company, revision history) |
| Remove Speaker Notes | Deletes all speaker notes — useful for a clean audience-facing copy |
| Remove Hidden Slides | Deletes slides marked as hidden |
| Replace Missing Fonts | Swaps any missing fonts for a font of your choice |
| Analyse Images | Lists oversized images in the report |
| Optimise Images | Reduces safe oversized images to a manageable size (backup created first) |
Your original is never changed
Every fix is applied to the copy inside the Show Package. The file you’ve been building stays exactly as it was.
One tool. Two minutes. Show-ready.
Optimise Ninja is included in Backstage Ninja Tools — no separate download required.
