How to Group Images in Google Slides

This feature is especially useful when working with complex designs or presentations with several images.

Grouping makes it easier to adjust or reposition the images without disrupting their layout.

How to Group Images in Google Slides: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Open Your Google Slides Presentation

First, log in to your Google account and open the Google Slides presentation where you want to group images.

If you don’t already have images on the slide, insert them by clicking on the “Insert” tab and selecting “Image,” then choosing to upload from your computer or search the web.

Step 2: Select the Images You Want to Group

To group images, you need to select them. Click on the first image, then hold the "Shift" key and click on the other images you want to include in the group.

You’ll notice a blue border around each selected image. Make sure all the images you want to group are highlighted.

Step 3: Group the Selected Images

With the images selected, right-click on one of the images to open the context menu. From the menu, choose "Group."

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Alt + G" to group the images quickly. Once grouped, the images will behave as a single unit.

Step 4: Move or Resize the Grouped Images

Now that your images are grouped, you can easily move or resize them together.

Click on the grouped images, and you’ll see a single border around the group.

Drag the group to reposition it, or click and drag a corner to resize all the images at once.

Step 5: Ungroup the Images (Optional)

If you need to ungroup the images later, simply right-click on the grouped images and select "Ungroup" from the menu.

Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl + Alt + Shift + G" to ungroup them. This allows you to make individual changes to the images.
