Images are a good way to make your presentations more colorful. Here are five ways to insert an image into your presentation:
- Drag-and-drop an image from your computer directly into a slide.
- Enter the URL of a publicly available image from the Internet.
- Find an image through Google Image Search.
- Choose an image that’s in one of your Picasa Web Albums.
Before using an image from the Internet, make sure that you have the rights to use that image. Inserted images must be in .PNG, .JPEG, .WMF or .GIF (no animated GIFs) file formats. They can have a maximum of 2000 pixels in dimension and a maximum of 2MB in size.
Here’s how to insert an image in your presentation:
- Click the Insert image icon in your presentation toolbar, to the right of the T text icon. Alternatively, you can go to the Insert menu, and select Image.
- Choose one of the four options to insert an image, and choose a file, enter a URL, or do a search.
- Once you’ve selected an image, click Upload or Select.
- The image will be inserted into the selected slide.
To move the image to another place on the slide, just drag-and-drop it. To resize the image, use the white resize handles surrounding the image.
