Keynote slide pixel size

[marielleq60389804]

Hello!

I am creating slides for a keynote presentation in PSCS and I'm wondering if anyone knows what the widescreen default keynote slide size is?

Photoshop has a "film & video" preset and under size has many options but none for keynote or projection...

Also, as it is being projected I'm assuming it's 72 dpi as opposed to a higher resolution, like 300 for print?

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi,

I believe the Widescreen size in Keynote is 1920 x 1080 and i believe the resolution is close to 72

Keynote projects to whatever screen you have, so the resolution (in pixel) is irrelevant. What is important is the aspect ratio. That should be 16:9 in a lot of the cases.

Now when you design pictures for projection and they are not the correct pixel size, they get scaled down or blown up with all the problems that are connected to this (processing time, quality etc). R_Kelly's guess is a good guess, as this is the size for a HD screen.

The DPI value is quite irrelevant, as it says only the an image that is 1920 pixels wide should be shown at 26.6 inch. But if my screen is smaller or bigger it will still be projected, as we will use the full screen size. Even if you project on a 4k screen, it will be the full screen size to be used. On a VGA sized screen, it will be downsized...
