When the built-in Google Slides tool is enough
Google Slides's built-in tool works well on simple subjects: logos on a solid background, icons, simple product photos on a uniform backdrop, or low-detail portraits against a single-colour background. The quality is good enough for most everyday documents and slide decks. The built-in tool is free and always available — no account or subscription needed.
Google Slides does not have a built-in background remover. Use BGRemover to prepare a transparent PNG, then insert it.
Step-by-step
Open your image in Google Slides
Prepare the image you want to work with. If Google Slides is not available, go to bgremover.com in any browser — it works on any device.
Prepare your image with BGRemover
Upload your image to bgremover.com → download the transparent PNG. Google Slides does not have a background remover, so BGRemover is the standard workaround.
Insert the transparent PNG into Slides
In Google Slides, go to Insert → Image → upload from your device. Select the transparent PNG from BGRemover. The background is transparent and will composite correctly on any slide background.
Position and resize
Drag the image to position it. Use the corner handles to resize without distorting aspect ratio. The transparent background means it will look clean on any slide design.
