Default Inserted Photos - Enormous Excel File Size

XL is not a graphics program and is likely not designed to deal with large
attachments.

Shrink the size of the pictures down to under 512K or so and you'll be fine.

Hi,

I have inserted and re-sized photos in a spreadsheet. There are (29) photos,
and there individual file sizes total 15MB. However, the saved Excel file is
442MB! The same Excel file without the inserted photos is only 28KB. I need
to be able to share this file (with the photos) with folks in other
locations. Is there some way to keep the Excel file from ballooning like
this, when photos are inserted into it? Why does the Excel file get so large?

Thank you
