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:
   • Go to the Design tab on the ribbon and click Format Background.
   • 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.

PowerPoint comes with built-in templates with aesthetic slides wallpaper. To find these, you can simply follow these steps:

1. Click File > New.
2. Search for “backgrounds” or a keyword related to your desired theme.
3. You can also search for a template called “Backgrounds for PowerPoint slides” that contains a selection of images. 

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. 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.

Once you’ve added a background image to your presentation, you might want to make a few changes to optimize it. You can do so by adjusting:

1. Transparency:  The image might obscure your text. Adjust the Transparency slider to make the image lighter and allow your text to be clearly visible.
2. Positioning: Use the Offset settings to move the image around and position it exactly how you want it on the slide.
3. Tiling: If your image is small and you want it to repeat across the entire slide background, check the Tile picture as a texture box.

Although PowerPoint provides you with a set of built-in wallpaper for slides, SlideUpLift’s diverse range of slideshow background images is the perfect ingredient to make your presentation stand out. To download background images for PowerPoint, simply follow these steps:
