You want to upgrade your Powerpoint presentation with a fancy image as the Background? In this practical tip we will show you how you can quickly and easily insert a custom background image to your slides.

How to set a Powerpoint background image

Since Office 2007, you need to change the background images of one or more slides, on the design tab.
  1. Select the appropriate slide and go to the tab "draft" at the top of the menu bar.
  2. Click on the right side on "Background style".
  3. Now, you will see several templates with backgrounds. You can select either a Background, or the "format Background" for a private use.
  4. After you have selected the "picture or texture fill" you can select under "file" an appropriate image and insert.
  5. Under the path, you can change your background image even further, for example, textures all over the screen tiles to make the image transparent.
  6. If you want to use the Background only for the current slide, you can exit the window by clicking on "Close".
  7. If you want to apply the image to all slides, click on "apply To all".
