When creating presentations, sometimes it's necessary to crop an image into a specific shape, especially when trying to highlight a particular element. Cropping an image into a circle can give it a unique visual effect and enhance the overall design. If you're looking to do the same, here’s a simple guide on how to crop an image into a circle in Google Slides—just follow the steps one by one.
Step 1: Select the Image You Want to Modify
First, make sure you've inserted the image and selected the one you want to crop.
Step 2: Choose Mask Image from the Top Menu
In the top menu, select Mask Image (the icon that looks like a crop tool). Hovering over the arrow will display "Mask Image"—click to enter.
Step 3: Click on the Shape Option
Once in the Mask Image tool, click the shape option.
Step 4: Select the Shape You Want to Apply
Choose a circle or any other shape you prefer, and it will be applied to your image.
Additional Tips
- Resetting the Image: If you’re not satisfied with the crop or have made other adjustments and want to revert to the original image, simply click the Reset Image button in the top menu to restore the original state.
- Replacing the Image: If you're happy with the crop but want to replace the image without redoing the formatting, just click the Replace Image button and upload a new image. The crop will automatically apply to the new image.
