Insert an Image in PowerPoint

 

This tutorial will demonstrate how to insert an image into PowerPoint. 

It might be tempting to copy and paste an image into PowerPoint or to drag an image from your desktop to you slide, but these are not best practices. Sometimes, when you copy and paste or drag a PNG image into a slide the computer can use the ability to read the data inside the image that notifies the computer of the transparency. When this happens a white background appears behind the image. We recommend using the Insert > Picture from File every time you insert an image into a slide.

 

  1. From the Home Tab click on Picture and then click on Picture from File.
