Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to use all SlidesCarnival templates for any personal or commercial project under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License – just keep our credit intact. You can share, adapt, and build upon our templates however you like, but remember that you must give appropriate credit and provide a link to this website. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use.

While you’re welcome to modify and share our templates, you can’t resell or redistribute them “as is” without your own content added, and please always link to our template pages rather than directly to files. Keep your usage legal and appropriate – we provide no warranties, and other rights (like privacy or publicity) may still apply to your specific use case. More info at Copyright and legal information

Absolutely! You’re free to customize our templates however you need – change colors, delete slides, add your content, and even publish on platforms like SlideShare. As long as you keep the SlidesCarnival credit somewhere in your presentation and use the templates for appropriate content, you can adapt them for any personal or commercial project.

Yes, you can absolutely use our templates for commercial purposes like selling educational materials on Teachers Pay Teachers or including them in your video courses. As long as you add your own content to the templates and keep the SlidesCarnival credit somewhere in your final work, you’re good to go! The only restriction is that you can’t resell the unmodified templates themselves.

You can find an example in the templates themselves, it is the “Credits” slide and you’ll find it near the end of every SlidesCarnival presentation. However, you can use another kind of attribution that fits your needs better: a mention with a link in the footer of one slide, or in the webpage if the presentation will be embedded. Besides, be aware that I accept more subtle ways of attribution than the credits slide. For example a small link to slidescarnival.com in the footer of the last slide in the presentation. If you need to cite using APA or MLA format follow these examples:

* APA: SlidesCarnival. (2020). Salerio PowerPoint template. Retrieved from https://www.slidescarnival.com/salerio-free-presentation-template/1875
* MLA: SlidesCarnival. “Salerio Powerpoint template”. SlidesCarnival, 19 July 2020 https://www.slidescarnival.com/salerio-free-presentation-template/1875

We don’t currently offer paid licenses to remove attribution. The Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license requires keeping credit to SlidesCarnival in some form, but you can make it subtle – like a small link on your final slide. This helps us continue creating free templates for everyone.
