Question

How do I insert a background picture in PowerPoint?

Mackenzie Griffin

Community Answer

To insert a background picture in PowerPoint, open the program and go to the "View" tab. Click on "Slide Master" within the "Master Views" group. Select the slide layout you want to edit, then go to the "Insert" tab. Choose "Pictures" to browse for your image, resize and position it as needed, and use "Send to Back" to place it behind other elements. Finally, ensure the background is applied consistently across all slides.
