How To Make The Background Transparent On Google Slides

Google Slides is an incredible tool for creating presentations, but did you know that you can also make a background transparent on Google Slides? This trick is useful when you want to create a more customized look for your slides. In this blog post, we will walk you through the process step by step.

Method 1: Using the Available Tools on Google Slides

This is the easiest way to make a background transparent. However, it’s important to note that this method only works for shapes and not for images. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation.
  2. Select the shape you want to make transparent.
  3. Click on the Fill color button on the toolbar.
  4. Select Custom at the bottom of the drop down menu.
  5. Adjust the transparency slider to your preferred transparency level.

Method 2: Using a Third-Party Tool

If you want to make an image background transparent, you will need to use a third-party tool. We recommend using free online tools that don’t require a sign up. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Go to a free online image editing tool like remove.bg or online-image-editor.com.
  2. Upload the image you want to make transparent.
  3. Follow the instructions on the site to make the background of the image transparent.
  4. Download the resulting image and then upload it to your Google Slides presentation.

Remember, Google Slides does not have an in-built feature to make the background of an image transparent. This is why you need to use a third-party tool. Remember to always use tools that respect your privacy and don’t require unnecessary sign ups.

Conclusion

Now you know how to make a background transparent on Google Slides! It might be a bit tricky at first, but with practice, it will become a piece of cake. Remember, the key is to experiment with different tools and methods until you find the one that works best for you. Happy designing!
