How to Make the Background of a Picture Transparent in Google Slides?

Published in Google Slides Tutorial 2 mins read

To make the background of a picture transparent in Google Slides, follow these steps:

Unfortunately, directly making a picture's background transparent is not a feature in Google Slides. However, you can change the slide's background to transparent, which will show the background image as if it were transparent if no slide fill is used. This process involves changing the background of the slide, not the image itself.

Steps to make a Slide background transparent

Here is how to change the background of a Google Slide to transparent using the information provided in the reference.

  1. Visit the slide with the image.
  2. Select Slide from the menu bar.
  3. Click on Change background.
  4. Open the Color tab.
  5. Scroll down and click Transparent.

This will make the entire slide background transparent, revealing what is behind the presentation. Please note, that this is *not* making an image's background transparent; rather, it will make the *slide's* background transparent.

Key Points:

  • You are changing the background of the entire slide, not the image itself.
  • This allows what's behind the slide to be visible and makes it look like the background of any images on that slide is transparent.
  • If you add a shape or image, that will still have its background.
