PowerPoint Background Images For Presentations

Adding an aesthetic presentation wallpaper can greatly enhance its visual appeal. Here’s how to do it:

1. Select the slide in which you want to add the PowerPoint wallpaper.
2. There are two ways to access the background formatting options:
   1. Go to the Design tab on the ribbon and click Format Background.
   2. Alternatively, right-click on the margin of the slide and select Format Background.
3. In the Format Background pane that appears on the right, choose Picture or Texture-Fill.
4. Click File to browse your computer and select the image you want to use as your background.
5. Once you’ve selected the image, click Insert. PowerPoint will automatically resize the image to fit the slide.

To make your PowerPoint look more appealing, simply use one of SlideUpLift’s background images. When choosing the perfect one, keep in mind to:

1. Use high-resolution images.
2. Use colors that contrast your text, ensuring readability.
3. Try to match the mood of the topic of the presentation.
4. Pick an aesthetic slide wallpaper that fills the entire slide without getting distorted.
5. Increase the image’s transparency to make your text pop if necessary.
