How to Make a Picture to a Circle in Google Slides

You can add some shape to images for visual effects when using Google Slides, and did you know you can convert any picture into a circle? In just a few steps, you can give a new look to your images that’s good enough to give polish and a professional touch to the slides.

In this tutorial, we are going to walk you through the process of rounding an image in Google Slides. Let’s get on with it!

Step 1: Insert Your Picture

You begin by placing your image on a slide. Here is how to do that:

1. Open your presentation in Google Slides.
2. Choose the slide in which you would like to place the picture.
3. From the menu bar, click “Insert,” then select “Image.”
4. Select “Upload from computer” if the image is stored on your computer or pick some of the other choices, like “Search the web.”

When the image has loaded on the slide, you are now ready to reshape it into a circle.

Step 2: Select the Crop Tool

Now we’re going to use a crop tool to create the shape we want for the image:

1. Click on the image to select it.
2. A toolbar will appear above the slide. Check for the “Crop” icon—it is a rectangle with lines through it.

Step 3: Now make that shape a Circle

Now let’s make that image a circle:

1. Click on the small arrow next to the Crop icon. This dropdown will list the various shape options.
2. Hover over “Shapes”, then click on the “Circle” shape.

Now your image is cropped into a circle! This is especially useful when you want to establish some customization and visual consistency in the look of your presentation.

Step 4: Tweak the Circle Image

You may just want to adjust the size or positioning of this circular image. To do this:

1. Use the corner handles of the picture to change its size as it maintains a circle.
2. Drag the image by the center to relocate it to another location within the slide.

You now have a well-circled picture that brings new style into your presentation!

Final Tips for Perfect Circle Images

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when cropping images into circles in Google Slides:

• Quality matters: Start with a high-quality image so it looks good even after cropping.
• Adjust carefully: If the round shape of the picture doesn’t quite fit the image, you can adjust the image a little inside the shape until it looks good.
• Play with borders: To draw more attention to your picture, apply a border around your circle. Do this by selecting the picture, clicking on the border color in the toolbar, and then choosing a color and its thickness.

By following the above steps, you can make clean, circular images that give your presentations a neat finishing touch. Try this technique in your next presentation and see what it does to your slides!
