• Professional without being boring

It’s like turning a sharp-edged box into a cozy pillow. Same shape but better vibe!

   • Click Insert → Image → Upload from the computer (or choose another option).

2. Click on the image to select it.
3. Go to the toolbar above your slide.
   • Find the small arrow next to the Crop icon (it looks like a square with a diagonal line)
4. Click the dropdown arrow → then choose Shape.

5. Pick a rounded rectangle or any shape with soft corners.
   • You’ll see your image instantly takes that shape.
6. Done! Your image now has rounded corners 🎉

1. Add a rounded rectangle shape.
2. Click Format → Format Options → Text fitting.
3. Add your text inside the shape.
4. Adjust padding if needed.

Boom! Text inside a shape with rounded corners. Looks clean and works great.

🟣 Shapes That Support Rounded Corners

Here are some shapes that let you round the edges:

• Rectangles

Note: If you don’t see the yellow diamond, the shape probably can’t be rounded.

🟤 Quick Fix: No Yellow Diamond?

If your shape doesn’t show the yellow diamond:

• Try replacing it with a different rectangle.
• Make sure you’re not selecting a line or circle.
• Only some shapes allow rounded corners in Google Slides.

FAQs – People Also Ask

❓ Can I round only one corner of a shape in Google Slides?

No, Google Slides rounds all corners evenly. For custom corners, you’ll need to edit in another tool and insert it as an image.

❓ How do I undo rounded corners?

Just drag the yellow diamond all the way to the right, and the corners will go back to sharp.

❓ Can I make a circle with this method?

Not exactly. Use the oval shape and hold Shift while resizing to make a perfect circle.

❓ Do images support rounded corners in Google Slides?

Yes — but not with a diamond tool. Use the crop-to-shape trick shared above for smooth image corners.
