How Do I Change the Opacity of a Shape in Google Slides?

Published in Google Slides 2 mins read

You can change the opacity of a shape in Google Slides by adjusting its transparency using the fill color options. Here's how:

  1. Select the Shape: Click on the shape you want to adjust the opacity for.

  2. Open the Fill Color Menu: Look for the "Fill color" option in the toolbar. It's typically represented by a paint bucket icon. Click on it.

  3. Choose "Custom": In the fill color menu, select the "Custom" option. This will open a dialog box with more color controls.

  4. Adjust the Transparency Slider: In the custom color dialog, you'll find a slider labeled something like "Transparency" or a numerical value you can change. Move this slider to adjust the opacity:

    • Moving the slider to the left (lower value) increases transparency (making the shape more see-through).
    • Moving the slider to the right (higher value) decreases transparency (making the shape more opaque).
  5. Confirm Changes: Once you're satisfied with the transparency level, click "OK" or a similar confirmation button to apply the changes.

The shape's opacity will now be adjusted according to your chosen transparency level. You can repeat these steps as needed to fine-tune the appearance of your shapes.
