Too many large images in your prezi can make your prezi's movements slow, and may cause it to not run smoothly during your presentation.

The maximum size for an image for Prezi is 2880 x 2880 pixels. You can safely insert at least 20 images as big as this in your prezi. If you insert more, it may cause the presentation to run less smoothly when presenting; worst case scenario being that it crashes and cannot run.

The solution is to only use large images when you need to zoom into them. And this is where Prezi actively lends a hand to help you.

When you are inserting a large image in your prezi, Prezi opens the dialog box as shown in the following screenshot to ask if you need the image to keep its current (large) size or if you prefer that Prezi resizes the image in order to make it smaller. Consider this as an offer! If you do not need to zoom into this image, click on Resize image. If you need the image to be large enough for close zooming, click on Keep original.
