Wrapping text around images or other elements can add a professional touch to your slides and help you convey your message more effectively. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of wrapping text in Google Slides, giving your presentations a polished and sophisticated look. Google Slides doesn’t have a built in option to wrap your text around images so we have to get creative in wrapping our text manually around an images.
How to Wrap Text Around Images in Google Slides
Step 1: Open Your Google Slides Presentation
Begin by opening the Google Slides presentation where you want to wrap text around an image or element. If you haven't created your presentation yet, you can start by opening Google Slides and selecting a blank presentation or an existing one.
Step 2: Insert an Image or Element & write your text to wrap
To wrap text around an image or element, you first need to insert it into your slide. Click on the slide where you want to place the image or element, then go to the "Insert" menu and choose "Image" or "Drawing" to add the element you want to wrap text around.
Step 3: Position and Resize the Image or Element
Once the image or element is inserted, position it where you want it on the slide. You can click and drag to move it and use the resizing handles to adjust its size.
Step 4: Select the Image or Element
As discussed earlier wrapping either text to image or vice versa has to be done manually so click on the image since text is more and let’s wrap the text around image.
Step 5: Adjust the image/ text around the other to wrap
In the below picture we’ve wrapped text around the imageso that both text and images are clearly visible and the slide has become more attractive than it was before.
Step 8: Adjust as Needed
You can further refine the placement and alignment of the text by clicking and dragging the image or element. As you move it, the text will adjust to wrap around it accordingly.
