How to Change the Radius of a Rounded Rectangle in PowerPoint

Published in PowerPoint Shapes 1 min read

Changing the radius of the corners on a rounded rectangle in PowerPoint is a simple process managed directly on the shape itself.

You can easily adjust the corner roundness by interacting with a special handle that appears when you select the shape.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Select the Rounded Rectangle: First, click on the rounded rectangle shape you want to modify.
  2. Locate the Adjustment Handle: A small yellow point (often diamond-shaped) will appear near one of the corners, typically the top-left. This is the handle that controls the corner radius.
  3. Drag the Handle:
    • Click on the yellow point and drag it to the left to make the corners smaller and sharper.
    • Drag it to the right to make the corners larger and rounder.

By dragging this yellow handle, you can visually set the exact level of roundness you desire for the rectangle's corners, giving you precise control over its appearance.
