How to Add a Watermark in PowerPoint
As a content creator, it’s important to protect your work from plagiarism and unauthorized use. One way to do this is by adding a watermark to your PowerPoint presentations. Watermarks are semi-transparent images or text that appear in the background of every slide. In this article, we’ll discuss how to add a watermark in PowerPoint.
Step 1: Open PowerPoint and select the slide where you want to add a watermark.
Step 2: Click on the “Insert” tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
Step 3: Click on the “Shapes” dropdown menu and select a shape that you want to use as your watermark. Alternatively, you can insert an image of your choice by selecting “Pictures” from the “Insert” tab.
Step 4: Drag your chosen shape or image to the background of your slide. You can adjust the size and position of the watermark to your preference.
Step 5: Change the transparency of the watermark to make it semi-transparent. To do this, click on the “Format” tab and select “Shape Fill.” From there, select “More Fill Colors” and adjust the transparency slider to your desired level.
Step 6: If you want to add text as your watermark, select the “Text Box” option from the “Insert” tab, and type in your desired text. Drag the text box to the background of your slide and adjust the transparency like you did with the shape or image.
Step 7: Once you’ve added your watermark to one slide, you can apply it to all slides in your PowerPoint presentation. To do this, select the “View” tab and click on “Slide Master.” From there, select the slide master you want to apply your watermark to, and then insert your chosen shape, image, or text box.
Step 8: Once you’ve added your watermark to the slide master, it will appear on every slide in your presentation. You can further customize the appearance of your watermark by adjusting its size, position, and transparency on the slide master.
