Keynote Slide Size

I used to create images in Photoshop in 1024x768 then drag them to Keynote which was set up as 1024x768px size slides. Now, with 6.1, I don't see a way to customize my slides in pixel format. Am I missing something?

The 6.1 version of KN does NOT support a pixel size image
I have to be blunt; this is nonsense. The unit of measurement in Keynote is pixels, the final product is a file that calculates pixels, and what can be seen on screen is pixels.
Did you know that point is a measurement of the height of a letter press type, nothing to do with graphic shapes? Photoshop uses point size so that type can be placed in proportion correctly.
In Keynote, this is all easily confirmed;
A 1 Point screen size is interpreted as requiring 1.333 pixels (this is an agreed international standard)
type in the value 800 x 800 in the slide size window in Keynote, export to TIFF and an exact 800 x 800 pixel image is created.
Therefore if Keynote measured in points, the image would export as 600 x 600 pixels.
You can if you wish use points in Photoshop, just remember to recalculate the values by 1.333
I repeat again, if you compose your images in Photoshop, input pixels and set to dpi to 72 and all images will import full screen and centered.

What Keynote slide size should I set up for a 60" screen?

Dear everyone,
I'm trying to find out what slide size I should setup in Keynote, for a presentation which will be played on four 60" flat screen TV's for a conference.
Thanks in advance for your precious help!
Malik

you should set the slide size to the pixel dimentions of the display you will present on:
Keynote > inspector > document tab > slide size:

Scale content when changing slide size

If I resize my keynote slide size to a different aspect ratio, is there a way to have it scale all the content?
I have hundreds of Illustrator files that I have imported into keynote (by drag/drop and it seems to rasterized the image). Making the slide size taller makes the background show through above and below my images. It would be nice if I didn't have to select and scale each individual image using the inspector. I realize the image will "stretch".
I did read someone's suggestion to batch the files in photoshop and resize them all, then re-import them all, but it would make a new presentation and I would lose all my notes and transitions.
thanks

This is an issue happening on your Mac, it is not a common problem, in fact Keynote has never crashed on my system since installing.
Try the following repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

What slide size is A4

which Keynote slide size is proportionally A4. i wish to print presenation on A4 paper with no border? thank you

It's not 1/4"-20 (20 means 20 threads per inch (TPI)). It's finer than that.... it looks like it may be 1/4" 28 (which is another fairly common TPI used with 1/4" bolt diameters.) 1/4"-20 is the standard "coarse" thread and 1/4"-28 is the standard "fine" thread when dealing with 1/4" diamter threaded bolts.
I can't verify that though as I don't have a 1/4"-28 bolt to test for fit (but I am looking at my 600EX-RT now and can clearly see that it has finer threads.)
There is, however, a 1/4"-20 mounting hole on the mounting foot that comes with the flash. That's the plastic foot that has a "cold shoe" to attach the mount and allows it to stand on a table or floor. On the underside of that plastic foot, there is a 1/4"-20 mounting hole.
If you'd like to use the mounting hole on the lower left side of the flash body itself, then you may need to get a 1/4"-28 bolt and test it for fit.

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

Using keynote in ibooks author do you set slide size to 2048x1536

For my second book I want to use the keynote widgit. If I set the slide size to 2048x1536 will that be ok for the ipad 2 and origanal ipad in addition to the new ipad? Also, when you initially bring an image (jpg) into keynote that will eventually be for import into ibooks author should it be resized to 2048x1536 just as we do when bringing one directly into ibooks author. I am using keynote 5.1.1.

Where did "custom slide size" go in Keynote 6?

I just upgraded to Maverick, and the new Keynote, but can't find the option to change my slide size. Used to be inside the old inspector, under document, custom slide size. Help, where'd it go?

Click the "setup" cog on the upper right.
and, towards the bottom, you'll see "Slide Size".

Unable to create Keynote Keynote in 2048x1536 px. for iPad w/ retina display. This option doesn't appear under "Slide Size". Keynote 5.1.1.

I have tried creating a Keynote document for iPad 3 but 2048x1536 does not appear under thre options for slide size.
The biggest is 1920x1080. I have updated all software and Keynote is on the latest version 5.1.1. I have tried on two different machines but I get the same issue.
Any ideas what it could be?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

you create a custom size:

Keynote ver. 3: setting individual slide sizes?

Hi, this is the first question I've ever posted in an online discussion group (I can't afford to pull out any more hair).
Brief background: I'm using Keynote to assemble a presentation for an annual architectural design awards program; this is my first time in six years not using PowerPoint, one of many reasons being that I could never manually adjust slide orientation but rather had to go with 100% portrait or landscape. The images that firms submit are always a mixed bag of horizontal and vertical images and it's a pain having to resize half (read: 500) of them -- plus I always get a few complaints that I've compromised the clarity of their professionally-photographed building details. bah!
Is there a trick to accomplishing this in Keynote? I'm using the "slide size" feature in the document inspector, but it's only letting me make across-the-board changes, not slide by slide. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Welcome to the discussion board, weirhaus.
I'm not sure I really understand your question. Keynote can't set sizes for individual slides, but this shouldn't be a problem. All projectors have a "native" orientation of landscape, and a native resolution (800 X 600, 1024 X768, etc.). This is just like your computer monitor. Changing the orientation of the slides in Keynote will not change the resolution or orientation of the projector itself (just as it wouldn't change your monitor's orientation or resolution), and orienting the slides as portrait will only mean that you are cutting off the sides of the display -- it would be exactly equivalent to simply putting the same image onto a black landscape slide of the same height as the "portrait" slide.
As for the "clarity" of the images, the resolution you have to work with is the resolution of the projector -- if you project a 4000 pixel tall image on a projector with a native height of 768 pixels, you will necessarily lose some resolution, and there is very little that can be done.
Can you explain a bit more what you need to do?

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

Change slide size in 2 slide/page layout?

Several folks indicated that you can use the "layout" view to produce a handout with 2 slides per page. But there is still quite a bit of white space. How can you increase the slide size on the page to make them bigger? Also, is there a way to add page numbers to the page (I already have slide numbers).

Rocketscience,
welcome to the Keynote Discussions.
Well, I think the border around the two slides I print is just enough to punch and file the paper.
Oh, wait, I'm using [DIN] A4 format. Well, try this:
* In the print dialog choose Layout from the "Copies & Pages"
dropdown box and set "Pages per Sheet" to 2
(you know that but I repeat it for other readers)
* Choose Paper Handling from the same dropdown box and mark
"Scale to fit paper size:". Select A4 from the corresponding
dropdown box (yes, even if you don't use A4 format). Unmark
"Scale down only".
* Print you slides.
There's no possibility to add page (sheet) numbers in the print dialog. You could prepare a file in Keynote or Pages that only prints a page number and print these numbers in a second run on you handouts. Not very elegant but maybe better than to paginate with a counter

Slide Size = ? Aspect Ratio

Does anyone have any idea as to what aspect ratio a 1024 X 768 slide in Keynote is? I have a projector that the aspect ratio can be changed. My issue is that I don't know what size screen I need for the projector? They are available in 16:9, 1:1, and 4:1 aspect ratios. My presentation has been created in a 1024 X 768 slide size. I realize I can change that but would rather not as the 1024 X 768 slide size seems to be the best to have the type clean and visible.
Thanks in advance if you know.

You also need to know the lens zoom factor and the position of your projector. This will determine the size of the screen. The aspect ratio of the screen should be the same as the aspect ratio of the projector: Projecto 16:9 - Screen 16:9.
In terms of font size that is easy to read, that largely depends on the distance between the viewer and the screen. Rule of thumb is that the closest person shuold be 0.7 x the height of the screen (9' high screen = 6.3' to the front row of seating) and the furthest should be no more than 7 x the height of the screen (9' high screen = 63' to the last row of seating). This also depends on the content shown. So for slides with fine details (lot of small text, busy slides) maximum distance should be no more then 4 x height of the screen. 6 x for spreadhseet and up to 8 times for video and images.
Hope this helps.

HT2925 Change slide size iPad version?

Is their a way to change the exported slide size in keyNote on the iPad version?

Are you bringing in anything from a PowerPoint presentation?
Not sure what's causing it, but one thing you could do to try to highlight the problem is LOCK the file. This way, anytime you try to change it, you'll get a window popping up telling that you can't and that will help you determine at what point the file is being changed.
Save off an original and compare it after a few days to see what the differences are.

Vertical keynote slides

Is it possible to create vertical slides in Keynote instead of the default horizontal ones? If so, how do I go about doing it? Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!
You can create slides that have any orientation and size you wish in the Document Inspector -- use the Slide Size dropdown menu to select the custom slide size option, and specify your slide dimensions there. (Do note that if you project vertical slides, the projected slide will be no taller than the horizontal maximum of the projector, and you will lose the area to the left and right of the slide.)

Maximum Slide Size

Anyone know if Keynote has a maximum slide size? I'm trying to create a Keynote presentation with a slide size of 4272X1080 and it won't seem to let me put that size in the custom slide settings. I've tried different sizes, but anything above 4000 gives me the error tone. Anyone else had luck entering a larger size? I'm wondering if 4000 may be the max Keynote will allow.

4000 is the max for Keynote.
