In this tutorial, you will learn how to effectively edit and customize images in Google Slides to optimally incorporate them into your presentation.

Key Takeaways

• Images in Google Slides can be extensively edited, including cropping, framing, and color changes.

Edit and Adapt Images

To edit images in Google Slides, you first need to select the image. To do this, click on the image you want to adjust. You can recognize that the image is selected by the blue outlined frame.

Now you have various editing options available. Start with the frame lines. By clicking on the frame lines, you can select the type of frame. Do you want to add a black border? Simply click on it and choose the color.

To highlight the border more strongly, you can adjust the thickness. Initially, the line is very thin. Set the thickness to about four or even 16 points to create a thick frame.

You also have the option to style the frame lines. Choose between solid lines, dashed lines, or dotted lines. You can even select a custom color to give the frame a personal touch.

If you no longer like the image, you have the option to quickly replace it. If you want to insert a new image, click "Replace Image" and select the new image from your computer.

An important editing step is cropping your image. Click on the cropping tool and choose how you want to crop the image. For example, you can and should remove unwanted parts of the image, such as a background that is no longer relevant.

To further enhance the view, Google Slides offers a feature to fit the image into various shapes. Choose a shape, such as a speech bubble, into which your image will be inserted. This makes the representation more interesting and creative.

You can even transform your images into other shapes, such as using arrows or logos. Upload the desired image and select the shape you want to transform it into. This adds an additional graphical dimension to the presentation.

Another great option to enhance your images is the ability to resize the image. You can maintain the aspect ratio while changing the dimensions in centimeters or percentages.

In addition, you can rotate or mirror your image, creating creative effects in a presentation. Choose the desired rotation and ensure that the image position remains optimal for the presentation.

Furthermore, you can apply various filters and adjustments such as transparency, brightness, and contrast to optimize the image. These features allow you to make the image visually appealing and enhance it.

If you wish, you can also add effects like drop shadows or reflections to make the image appear more vibrant. These options significantly expand the possibilities of image editing.

In this guide, you have learned how to specifically adjust and edit images in Google Slides. Whether it's adding frames, cropping, or applying filters, the possibilities are diverse. Utilize these functions to take your presentations to a new level.
