How to insert pictures in PowerPoint<\/a> is a question you\nprobably ask yourself because you clicked on this article – soon, you have the\nanswer to that question. Inserting pictures or ClipArt images can enhance the\nexperience of your PowerPoint presentation<\/a> as you add more visual elements.\nThese are often a great complement to your bullet point lists of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I will go through two different methods of how to insert pictures in PowerPoint. Furthermore, as usual, I will give you some bonus tips, which will make you a better and more efficient PowerPoint user.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures also help you tell a story, which is incredibly important when building your PowerPoint presentations. Use your own images or use pexels.com<\/a>, for example, which has thousands of images you can use for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Pictures and ClipArt Using a Content Slide<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are several ways to insert pictures into\nPowerPoint. For beginners, the easiest way is probably to choose a Slide Layout\nthat contains placeholders for different types of content, such as pictures,\ntables, and pictures. This is super simple, just fix the process below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Select the slide you want to insert the image into.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Select Home in the toolbar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. In the Slides category, click New Slide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Choose the type of layout that suits you best. <\/strong>The only requirement if you want to insert a picture is that it contains a placeholder for the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insert<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Select the Pictures icon to start inserting your picture.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. A dialog box opens, allowing you to find and insert the image you want in PowerPoint.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. If you do not have an image on your computer, insert an image from the Internet<\/strong>. Instead, click on the icon that says Online Pictures. Here you can search for pictures that fit your purpose. Don\u2019t forget to list sources when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insert<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Select the image you like best and click Insert.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the simplest and most formal methods of how to insert pictures in PowerPoint. In the next part, I will show how to insert pictures from the ribbon in PowerPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add Pictures and ClipArt from the Ribbon<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The previous method of how to insert pictures in\nPowerPoint is, as I said, very systematic, but unfortunately not very flexible.\nA more natural way that lets you insert pictures into an existing slide is to\nuse the ribbon tool. Below I describe exactly how to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Select the slide where you want to insert the image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Click Insert in the ribbon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Select Pictures, to insert an image from your computer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insert<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Locate and select the image you want to insert, and click Insert<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. In the same way, as in the previous method, you can choose to insert an image from the Internet<\/strong>, if you do not have pictures on your computer. Instead, click on Online Pictures, which you find alongside Pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Search for an image you think fits and click Insert.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip: <\/strong>Once you have inserted images, in newer versions, you can click Design Ideas to the right of your slide. Here PowerPoint helps you arrange and format<\/a> your images. Often it actually becomes very good, and you can save a lot of time using this trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Insert<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations! Now you have learned two different\nmethods of how to insert pictures in PowerPoint. There are, of course, more\nways, but these are the most effective. Another easy way is to right-click on\nan image, click Copy. Then navigate back to PowerPoint and click Paste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you own the rights to the images, I recommend the copy-paste method. But if you are looking for pictures on the next, I recommend Method 2: Add Pictures and ClipArt from the Ribbon<\/strong>. This is an easy way to insert pictures into PowerPoint, and if you use the image from the internet, you get automatic source reference when you insert the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
