Sophia says
28 July 2017 at 15:58For some reason I can no longer open the templates. Is this something that I am doing wrong? It says the google drive link moved.
Jimena says
2 August 2017 at 08:37Sorry Sophia, nothing has changed, I’ve checked it and it works as always.
Soph says
6 March 2018 at 18:31It says that I need permission to use this template:(
Jimena says
7 March 2018 at 08:06It’s a common issue with school and company accounts, usually they don’t have full permissions to use files from other domains in order to protect the students/employees.
Please try one of the following:

3 August 2017 at 19:09Hello, is there a way to maintain the aspect ratio of photos that are dropped into the background images? Thanks!
Jimena says
4 August 2017 at 11:22Not that I know of, but try asking at Google Product forums

Hamish says
14 August 2017 at 03:40how do you change the colour of the same slide like from orange to blue?
Jimena says
14 August 2017 at 11:20You have to change the background image to a watercolor with blue tones. Use Google images to find an photo that fit your needs or download a watercolor texture from GraphicBurguer (you’ll find the link in the Credits slide)

Thanks for sharing this incredible desing!
Jimena says
10 October 2017 at 17:09Right-click your selection in the thumbnail pane, and then select Format Background. In the Format Background pane on the right, select Picture or Texture Fill, and then, under Insert picture from select File and choose the picture that you want. For more info check Powerpoint help
no one says
21 October 2017 at 07:56It is an amazing template but I cannot see the 25 different slides with tips to improve your presentation. Choose the layouts that best fit your content in Microsoft Powerpoint
Jimena says

Choose the layouts that best fit your content. The example slides include several combinations of text columns, images, text and devices, maps, graphs, etc. Those are the 25 different slides with tips to improve your presentation.

Billy Chan says
21 October 2017 at 14:51The template is great!!!

Jimena says
22 October 2017 at 09:33Select a slide and go to the Slide menu, and select Background, or right-click in a slide and select Change background. Then upload your own photo.

jennifer says
28 November 2017 at 20:35I really love this template however for some reason when I click view, the fonts get messed up. Its like the fonts are blurry and stretched with lines through them
Jimena says
29 November 2017 at 12:31Hi Jennifer, are you using the Google Slides or the Powerpoint version? Remember that if you downloaded the Powerpoint file you have to download and install the fonts used.
Daphne says
6 March 2018 at 16:51How can you install the fonts?
Jimena says
6 March 2018 at 17:18Hi Daphne, once you’ve downloaded the fonts the installation depends on your OS (Windows, Mac or Linux). Please google the instructions that apply to your operating system.
anonymous says
30 November 2017 at 13:03thank you so much for these slides! Helps me a lot with my classwork.
Polly says
2 December 2017 at 19:42Hi Jimena. Thanks for these wonderful templates. I have a problem with the google version. I copied it and started to use it. Then suddenly it freezes and I can’t click on the thumbnails although I can still click on the main page and make changes. I wonder what is causing that? Closing it and opening again usually fixes it.
Jimena says
2 December 2017 at 22:00Hi Polly, that happens sometimes when you have the emoji add-on installed in Chrome. Is that your case?
Polly says
4 December 2017 at 15:25yes. I wondered why it didn’t happen last time I used it. I shall uninstall. Thanks for your help.
Katherine says
26 January 2018 at 21:00Please PUBLICIZE THIS EMOJI BUG widely! I know you can’t fix the emoji add-on, but you need to let people know they’re incompatible. I had no idea and I have wasted three hours of my life re-creating an entire presentation because of this! This should not be happening!
Jimena says
27 January 2018 at 10:36I already contacted the add-on support, I hope they’re able to fix it.
Ana says
12 December 2017 at 18:46Realmente me ayudó a hacer una de mis presentaciones finales de la escuela
¡Agradezco que exista esta página!
¡Éxitos Jimena!
Mel says
19 December 2017 at 17:52How do you change the white parts of the background? I want the color splashes to stay, but I want a picture for the white parts.
Jimena says
20 December 2017 at 13:58I’m sorry but that can’t be done as the white parts are images placed in the master slides
Stefan Kovacevic says
19 January 2018 at 13:16So, I’ve been working on some presentation and I can’t place an image in the rectangle … If you could answer me please that would be great.
Jimena says
19 January 2018 at 13:59Select a slide and go to the Slide menu, and select Background, or right-click in a slide and select Change background. Then upload your own photos/images.
Dima says
31 January 2018 at 15:16How do you add a picture like in slide 10 where the picture fits in with the paint splatter on google slides?
Jimena says
1 February 2018 at 08:27Hello Dima, that photo is set as a slide background. Actually in that slide there’s a transparent image above with the splatter as a hole, which shows the background below.
Jenna says
7 February 2018 at 04:40I love these AMAZING slide templates that you make. They are VERY useful for my class presentations. I just have one- wait actually two tiny questions… How can you change the language and how do you put transitions and animations on the slides?
Jimena says
7 February 2018 at 08:22You can learn to do it following Google Help instructions https://support.google.com/docs/answer/1689475?hl=en
Yosuke says
11 February 2018 at 19:38Thank you for creating these cool slide deck. I have been using them for a month now, and my clients love your design, too. I am now thinking to create a business proposal with similar styles. It will be great if you can tell me if you have a proposal template with similar styles in Google Docs :-)
Jimena says
12 February 2018 at 08:35Hello Yosuke, I’m sorry but I don’t have Google Docs templates.
Yuniar Sunarko says
14 March 2018 at 10:56You beautify my presentations!
Thank you very much!
caxel says
30 April 2018 at 22:11How can I change the color of the paint?
Jimena says
1 May 2018 at 08:06Hi Caxel, to change the color of the paint you have to set your own background for the slide, and upload photos that have the color you desire.
PD: sorry for the late response, but I live in Spain and my time zone does not coincide with that of America/Asia
Zoe Schwartz says
1 May 2018 at 18:19how do you change the colors?
Jimena says
1 May 2018 at 18:27You have to change the background image to a watercolor on the color you want. Use Google images to find an photo that fit your needs or download a watercolor texture from GraphicBurguer (you’ll find the link in the Credits slide)
liyah says
4 May 2018 at 21:53how do I get a colorful background for google slides.Because i want a very colorful background for a project and not just ugly boyish kind i want a girly color one?
Jimena says
5 May 2018 at 08:12Hi Liyah, there are many places in internet where you can find colorful backgrounds. I can recommend you:
Kylie says
21 May 2018 at 18:59I don’t know why, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to use those awesome icons that are included! I use Google Slides.
Thanks!
Jimena says
22 May 2018 at 07:01Hi Kylie, copy the icon you need from slide number 27 and paste it in the slide where you want to use it. Easy peasy :)
Jess says
11 June 2018 at 16:19Help! This template keeps crashing my power point presentation after using it for a while. It initially worked fine then some of the slide stopped displaying correctly and show up as a broken image (little white box with a red ‘x’). I’ve tried re:-downloading the template but it doesn’t fix the problem, the slides continue to show up as broken images.
Otherwise this template is beautiful.
Jimena says
11 June 2018 at 16:53Hello Jess, I’m sorry to hear that. Which version of Powerpoint are you using (also, offline or online)?
Theo says
13 June 2018 at 13:24I love this thing! The best! Five stars

16 August 2018 at 19:29Am I able to Live-stream this template?
Jimena says
18 August 2018 at 10:38Yes, of course, although attribution still applies
Jensen says
21 September 2018 at 03:16Very beautiful and useful slides.
Thank you very much!

26 October 2018 at 19:54I’m in love with this site. It helps me to create beautiful presentations with this different colorful slides. Thanks a lot .
My name is none of your business says
13 November 2018 at 22:34So many random backgrounds that I don´t like. And what if you want to change the photo? There also used to be a lot more choices. I also don´t like that stuff you don´t want is on the slides already when you create it. But this looked nice and a lot of people commented on it so I guess it´s good.
Jimena says
14 November 2018 at 08:46Hello,
All the backgrounds and photos are editable and can be replaced with your own choices. The stuff in the slides is sample content and can be easily and quickly deleted. But if you don’t like it of course you’re not obligated to use it.
Rinka says
5 March 2019 at 11:05Hey, I’ve just spotted your amazing website and I love it!
I often need to do presentations from school and your templates hopefully will help me getting a good grade ;) Love this template!
<3 greetings, rinka
Rajul Sangoi says
31 March 2019 at 02:39I’m not able to download it as a template If delete one slide it gets deleted permanently.
Jimena says
31 March 2019 at 12:13Hi Rajul, I guess your using Powerpoint as it deletes slide masters that are not in use, please try this solution:

Emma says
30 April 2019 at 03:01I was wondering if there was a way to flip the background. A lot of the color is on the right side and I was hoping to balance things out by flipping some of the slides like a mirror image and have the colors on the left.
Thanks!!
Jimena says
2 May 2019 at 11:30Hi Emma, you can enter the master slides and there you’ll be able to flip the background white shape in some of the slides https://www.slidescarnival.com/help-use-presentation-template#faq5
