Help with Exporting High-Resolution Images from XL Toolbox in PowerPoint

[merkezodri]

Hello all,

I have started using XL Toolbox to improve my scientific figures as I make presentations and publications. It works great in formatting charts in Excel, but I’m running into a snag when I try to export my images to use them in PowerPoint. I try to export at a maximum DPI (300 or more), and still when I insert the image into the PowerPoint slide, it can look blurry or compressed.

High-resolution graphs for publication

An alternative to the high-resolution graphic export is the screenshot-quality export: This is better suited for graphs that you want to use in digital media, e.g. in e-mails or presentations. One important difference between screenshot-quality export and high-resolution export is that the former produces ‘anti-aliased’ images where ragged lines are made smooth by interpolating with shades of gray (and other hues).

I wanted to reach out to see if anyone has a good workflow on servicenow certification or any suggestions or settings in XL Toolbox to export images to ensure the exported image has good resolution while maintaining sharpness? Also, is there a preferred image format (PNG, TIFF, etc.) to achieve this?

I am using Excel on Windows 11 with the most recent version of the XL Toolbox, and have tried collectively copying charts and using the “Export figure” option at different DPI settings with varying results. I would be grateful for any tips or best practices you use to get publication-quality images from Excel into refreshing PowerPoint presentations that do not lose any quality.

Thank you for any help you can provide - this forum and XL Toolbox have been great resources already!

Best,
