If you have chosen Google Slides to create a presentation, you probably already know that it is a great tool. It has many features that will help your presentation look decent. One of those features is the ability to make the image you add to your presentation transparent. You can easily do this using the image settings directly in the presentation.
You may need this if you want to put text in front of the image. Accordingly, you will need to change the transparency of the picture or photo. So, here’s how to do this in a few easy steps.

Once you have completed these steps, the image transparency will be changed in your Google Slides presentation. Using the Adjustments option you can also change the brightness and contrast of the image. If you want, there’s also a way to add animation to Google Slides.
