Method-1: Using the mask tool in Google Slides
To make a picture circular in Google Slides, drag and drop the image into a slide.
Now, from the menu bar, locate the “Crop” tool and click on the down arrow next to it.
Select “Shapes” from the drop-down menu, and then “Oval” from the “Shapes Gallery”.
Finally, make the necessary adjustments to the image and shape.
Here’s how to make a picture circular in Google Slides:
- Drag and drop the image into a slide
- Click on the down arrow located next to the “Crop” tool
- Select “Shapes” from the drop-down menu
- Select “Oval” from the “Shapes Gallery”
- Adjust the image and the shape
1. Drag and drop the image into a slide
To begin, simply drag & drop the image onto the Google slide.
To achieve the perfect crop, make sure the subject is exactly in the center of the image. When you wish to make the image circular, a square image is best.
A rectangular image makes cropping extremely difficult. To avoid problems in step 5, make sure the image you are uploading is square.
Almost all picture formats are supported by Google Slides.
2. Click on the down arrow located next to the “Crop” tool
After you’ve uploaded the image, click on it to select it. Your image will have a blue border, indicating that you have successfully selected it.
Locate the “Crop” tool in the menu bar. The “Crop” tool is located just below the text that displays the most recently modified time/date.
Note: You won’t see the “Crop” tool unless you select the image.
3. Select “Shapes” from the drop-down menu
When you click the down arrow, a drop-down menu will appear with four options: Shapes, Arrows, Call outs, and Equation.
Select “Shapes” from the list of available options and proceed to the next step.
4. Select “Oval” from the “Shapes Gallery”
When you hover your mouse over the “Shapes” option, a secondary menu named the “Shapes Gallery” will appear. There are numerous shapes to choose from in the “Shapes Gallery.”
In this collection, Google Slides do not have the “circle” shape; instead, they have an “oval” shape.
So, from the gallery, choose the “oval” shape and move on to the next step.
5. Adjust the image and the shape
This is the most crucial and most difficult step. If you followed the first step correctly, you should have no trouble with this.
Your image will be turned into an oval shape as soon as you select the “oval” shape from the gallery.
When you double-click on the image, you’ll notice two frames: one grey and one blue.
Use the grey frame to adjust the shape, and the blue frame to adjust the image.
Since the shape is oval, you need to make some adjustments to make it look circle.
Click anywhere outside the oval and again single click on the oval to see the blue frame. Now drag the bottom crop handle to make the image look circular.
Hold down the “Shift” key on your computer while dragging the crop handles to make the image smaller or larger without affecting the shape.
