Create and Add Watermarks to Slides
Use the Master Slide feature to add it to all the slides in one go. If you want to add it to only one slide, skip the first two steps below and begin from Step 3.
Step 1:Click on theViewtab from the menu bar and selectSlide Master.
Step 2:Select the first slide, which is the master slide, from the left sidebar. You will notice that all other slides are nested below it.
Step 3:Now, under theInserttab, click theText Boxbutton and select theText Boxoption.
Step 4:Drag the corners to adjust the size of the text box now or later, then click anywhere inside the box and begin typing.
Step 5:Click on theHometab to customize the fonttype,size,color, and other watermark details. On some versions of PowerPoint, you may find these options under the Format tab instead.
Step 6:Turn the watermark using the circular grab handle at the top.
Step 7:SelecttheSend to Backoption under theArrangemenu to keep the watermarkin the background so that the text and other elements on the slides are clearly visible to viewers.
Step 8:Right-click on the master slide and selectFormat Backgroundto open the Format Background sidebar.
Step 9:Select your watermark, clickText Options, and increase the transparency to80%or some other value to make the watermark fade in the background.
Step 10:Once you are happy with the watermark, clickNormalunder theViewtab.
It is a good idea tochoose a light colorso that text and other elements are easily visible to the naked eye.
Create and Add Watermarks to Images in PowerPoint
Are you planning to add original screenshots or images to the PowerPoint slides? The abovementioned method will only add a watermark to the slides, not images. However, there is a way to add a watermark to images directly inside PowerPoint.
Step 1:Simply drag and drop the image you want to add to the slide.
Step 2:Under theInserttab, click onWordArtand choose a watermark text style that suits your needs.
Step 3:As in the previous point, you can change the position,fonttype,size, andcolorof the watermark and move it around wherever you want.
Step 4:Under theDesigntab, click onFormat Background.
Step 5:Lastly, select your watermark, clickText Options, and increase the transparency to80%or some other value to make the watermark fade in the background.
You may change how the watermark looks and feels later.
