How to Insert Clip Art in PowerPoint [For Any Version]

By: Author Shrot Katewa

What’s the best part about PowerPoint presentations? YES, it is the graphics and visual representations. And how best can we insert these into our presentations? No, Google Images is not the answer (although it is one of the ways). It is through the in-built feature of Clip Art.

To insert a clipart into your presentation simply Go to the Insert tab, select Pictures, choose Online Pictures and then in the Filters select Clip Art. From here you can choose your preferred Clip Art and add it into the Slide.

See how simple it is? Now let us show you some other cool features for using Clip Art in your presentations and wowing your audience.

1. Inserting Clip Art in PowerPoint 

The clipart in PowerPoint is a collection of free images that you can use in your presentation slides. You can access the available cliparts under the  “Online Pictures”  option in PowerPoint.

How to Insert Clipart in PowerPoint: A Step-by-Step Guide

Inserting clipart in PowerPoint is a simple task. First, open PowerPoint and select the slide where you want the clipart to appear. Next, go to the “Insert” tab and click on “Pictures” if you have saved clipart on your device or “Online Pictures” to search for clipart from the internet. Choose your desired clipart, click “Insert,” and it will appear on your slide. You can then resize and position it as needed.

After inserting the clipart, it will be a part of your PowerPoint slide, allowing you to enhance your presentation with visual elements. You can adjust its size, position, and formatting to integrate it seamlessly into your slide layout.

Introduction

Presentations are a staple in both academic and professional settings, and PowerPoint is one of the most widely used tools for creating them. Whether you’re a student presenting a project or a business professional sharing a report, visual elements can greatly enhance your presentation. This is where clipart comes in handy. Clipart is a collection of images that can be easily inserted into documents and presentations to add a visual element without the need for complex design software.

But why is it important, and who needs to know how to do it? Well, for starters, clipart can make your presentation more engaging. It helps break up text, illustrates points visually, and can make complex ideas easier to understand. For teachers, marketers, students, and just about anyone who uses PowerPoint, knowing how to insert clipart can elevate your presentations from mundane to captivating. So, let’s get started on the how-to, shall we?

Step by Step Tutorial to Insert Clipart in PowerPoint

The following steps will guide you on how to insert clipart into your PowerPoint presentation:

Step 1: Open PowerPoint and select the slide

Open your PowerPoint presentation and click on the slide where you want to insert the clipart.

After selecting the slide, make sure it’s the correct one where you want the clipart to appear. This step is crucial as placing visual elements on the wrong slide can disrupt the flow of your presentation.

Step 2: Go to the “Insert” tab

Click on the “Insert” tab located on the ribbon at the top of the PowerPoint window.

This tab has various functions for adding different elements to your slide, such as tables, shapes, and, most importantly for us, pictures.

Step 3: Click on “Pictures” or “Online Pictures”

If your clipart is saved on your device, click “Pictures.” To find clipart online, select “Online Pictures.”

When you click “Pictures,” a file explorer window will open, allowing you to navigate to the location of your saved clipart. If you select “Online Pictures,” you’ll be able to search for clipart from the internet right within PowerPoint.

Step 4: Choose the clipart

Select your desired clipart from your device or choose from the online options.

Keep in mind the style and color scheme of your presentation while selecting clipart to ensure consistency throughout your slides.

Step 5: Click “Insert”

After selecting your clipart, click the “Insert” button to add it to your slide.

Once the clipart is inserted, you can click and drag it to position it or use the formatting tools to adjust its size and orientation.

Additional Information

When it comes to utilizing clipart in PowerPoint, there are a few additional things to keep in mind. Firstly, consider the relevance of the clipart to your presentation’s content. The images should complement and enhance your message, not detract from it. Secondly, be aware of copyright. While PowerPoint offers a wealth of clipart that is free to use, some images may still require attribution or may not be cleared for commercial use.

Additionally, don’t forget about formatting. Once your clipart is inserted, you may need to adjust its size or rotate it to fit your slide layout properly. PowerPoint’s formatting tools are user-friendly, allowing you to do this with ease. Remember, the goal is to create a visually appealing presentation that engages your audience and reinforces your points.

Lastly, consistency is key. If you’re using multiple pieces of clipart throughout your presentation, try to maintain a consistent style. This will give your entire presentation a cohesive look and feel. And there you have it—adding clipart to your PowerPoint slides can be a breeze with these handy tips!

• Open PowerPoint and select the slide
• Click on the “Insert” tab
• Choose “Pictures” or “Online Pictures”
• Select the clipart
• Click “Insert”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can i resize the clipart after inserting it into powerpoint.

Yes, you can easily resize clipart by clicking and dragging the corners of the image after it’s been inserted into the slide.

How do I ensure that the clipart matches my presentation’s style?

Try to select clipart that complements your presentation’s color scheme and theme for a consistent look.

Can I use any clipart I find online in my PowerPoint presentation?

While there are many free clipart resources available, always check the copyright status of an image before using it in your presentation to avoid legal issues.

Is it possible to insert multiple cliparts at once?

Yes, you can select and insert multiple cliparts by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on each clipart if you’re choosing from saved images on your device.

How do I align the clipart properly on my slide?

PowerPoint offers alignment tools under the “Format” tab that can help you align your clipart with other elements on your slide.

Incorporating clipart into your PowerPoint presentation isn’t just about making slides look pretty—it’s about creating an engaging experience for your audience. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can easily insert relevant, eye-catching clipart that complements and enhances your message.

Remember, the key to a great presentation is not only in the information you present but also in how you present it. Using clipart effectively can transform a dull presentation into an unforgettable one. So go ahead, give it a try, and watch your PowerPoint skills soar!

Where to find illustrations icons & clipart for PowerPoint slides?

• August 11, 2020

Looking for presentation clipart in PowerPoint? Wondering where Clipart has gone? Trying to find the PowerPoint icons library?

Microsoft's original Clipart feature was removed from PowerPoint a number of years ago, leaving many PowerPoint users wondering where to find images and illustrations to use in their PowerPoint presentations.   We’ve had a few customers ask us about this during our PPT Productivity add-in for PowerPoint demonstrations, so we thought an overview to find Microsoft’s ‘revamped’ PowerPoint clip art might be helpful.

Meet PowerPoint Stock Images, the new PowerPoint Clipart

The good news is, Clipart hasn't been permanently removed. Microsoft has renovated / regrouped clip art on PowerPoint into PowerPoint Stock Images . You can find the Clipart Images feature on the Standard PowerPoint ribbon under Insert > Pictures > Stock Images. Once you open the PowerPoint Stock Images popup, by default you will see the Images tab and a search bar.

Each group of Stock Images is set up as a separate tab, so you can select to search through Images, Icons, Cutout People, Stickers, Videos or Illustrations. Each tab has a search bar, so you can search for images from each category.

What we all previously knew as Clipart is primarily replaced by the Illustrations tab in PowerPoint's Stock Images. Loaded up with two-toned graphics which can be adapted to your PowerPoint template’s color theme , this new feature might be just what you’re looking for to ‘jazz’ up your PowerPoint presentations. Icons have a dedicated Icons tab - it is quite a large library of icons for PowerPoint .

Following is a step by step guide to find Clipart in PowerPoint (now aka PowerPoint Stock Images popup!):

To use the PowerPoint Illustrations, navigate to the ‘Insert’ tab on the top ribbon, click ‘Pictures’ then select ‘Stock Images’ from the dropdown menu.

Click the ‘Illustrations’ tab to reveal a gallery of different illustrations to insert into your PowerPoint presentations.

The PowerPoint illustrations are searchable by grouping or word search. Or you can select one of the thematic grouping buttons beneath the search bar (e.g. Food, Birthday, Education...).

Once you have found one or more illustrations you want to include in your PowerPoint presentation, select them and click ‘Insert’ at the bottom right hand corner of the image library.

Illustrations from the Stock Images in PowerPoint feature are all two-toned in color and the colors are editable! You can easily change the illustration accent color to match your presentation theme. Simply select the image, then right mouse click and select fill to reveal the color fill jug. From the ‘fill jug’ choose an accent color from your theme colors, or select ‘More Fill Colors’ to reveal more options.

Tip: to keep your PowerPoint presentations consistent, choose a color from your presentation ‘Theme Color’ choices, rather than introducing additional colors. PPT Productivity's Color Toolbar makes it easier to find your PowerPoint template theme colors including tints and shades of theme colors.

PowerPoint has Copyright-free Images to use in presentations

In addition to the Stock Images, you can also choose to insert an online image to your PowerPoint presentation. Microsoft has incorporated an integrated Bing Images search to Office 365. You can find online images to insert via Insert > Pictures > Online Pictures. The images search can be useful in finding copyright-free images to use in your presentations. The challenge is that many users find it confusing to navigate!

Can I add the Illustrations and older Clip Art images to the PPT Productivity Slide Library?

Yes you can! While it’s great that Microsoft still offer an extensive clip art library in PowerPoint, it takes quite a few clicks to navigate to the relevant tab and search.  You might find it easier to save illustrations to your PPT Productivity Slide Library .

If you find illustrations you’d like to reuse easily or if you have copies of old clip art images that have been retired from the current range, you can use PPT Productivity's Slide Library to save images for easy reuse. Simply save any shape or slide to your personal gallery by opening the relevant presentation file or copying the relevant illustration onto a slide, then click ‘save shape’ at the bottom of the Slide Library toolbar .

PPT Productivity also has an extensive range of ~1000 icons in the downloadable objects for the Slide Library . These are included in PPT Productivity Power Tools licensing and in the free trial .

You can also add video clips to your PowerPoint slides from the Microsoft 365 Image Library !

Want to add moving images to your PowerPoint slides? Microsoft 365 has now included a series of short videos that you can include in your PowerPoint presentations.

These video files are accessible from the Insert tab, via the Pictures dropdown menu, choosing Stock images and then the ‘Videos’ tab. Or by going directly to the ‘Video’ dropdown menu, also on the Insert tab and select ‘Stock Video’

Mouse over the video image to view a brief preview of the video.  To insert the video onto your slide, click on the video and hit insert at the bottom right-hand corner of the Image Library.

Once you have inserted your video, you can resize using a simple select and drag, or use the PPT Productivity Scale objects function.

Videos from the Stock images library seem to run for less than 10 seconds, but you can also  edit the duration using the video trimming tools.  These are found by using a right mouse click on the insert video.

Here’s a quick example:

Found a video in the Stock Image video library you think you’ll use again? You can save it to your PPT Productivity Slide Library for fast access next time you want to add it to a slide.

Best Sources of free Images to use in PowerPoint Presentations

01.01.20   •  #powerpointtips.

Finding license free photos on the internet can be difficult. Many good pictures are not free or not usable for commercial purposes – looking for good ones that are free to use can get exhausting. Therefore, we decided to show you our 5 favourite websites for free images that you can use for PowerPoint presentations (or for anything else).

1. Unsplash

Unsplash is an amazing resource for high-quality images, which can be used for private or commercial purposes and can even be modified. Pictures are distributed by photographers all around the world. Even though crediting isn’t required, it is very much appreciated and a way for the artist to gain more prominence.

https://unsplash.com

The Pexels-License is simple – you can edit photos as you like and use them for all purposes. Crediting is not required. We adore this resource for its huge variety of categories and professionally shot images.

https://www.pexels.com

3. Freerange

Freerange images are distributed by their “in-house”-photographers or by the community. Just like the previously mentioned ones, it is free for non-commercial as well as commercial use – attribution not necessary. You can find all kinds of content in the photos, and the amount grows every day.

https://freerangestock.com

4. Creative Commons

CC is a giant network that was built to provide content that is free to use. They provide public licenses and a feature for searching pictures – where you can choose if you want something for commercial purposes, something that can be modified, or both.

https://creativecommons.org

Pixabay provides tons of pictures (photographs and also great illustrations!) and even videos. They’re being shared by a community. To use Pixabay’s content you do not need permission, and it is free to use for all purposes. Pictures and Videos can be changed and adapted as you would like.

https://pixabay.com

6.PikWizard

PikWizard holds a large library of free and paid stock images and videos. The are images for which you need to pay for are labeled with "Premium". For the free images no attribution is required. What's cool is that you can directly edit the images on the site without the need to download.

Cheat Death by PowerPoint!

How to make your own clipart in PowerPoint

May 23, 2013 by Laura Foley 7 Comments

It’s easy to create your own custom clipart. By using the “save as picture” command on an object or group of objects, you can create a graphic that can be stored on your computer and used in other PowerPoint presentations, blogs, websites, Word docs, etc.

Using the Save as Picture command in PowerPoint

• Select objects on slide

The “Save as Picture” command is similar to the “Paste as Picture” command in that it allows you to create graphics out of objects on a slide. But with “Save as Picture” the image you create is available for use again and again. Both commands render text uneditable, so be sure to keep a copy of your original images and text in case you have to make edits down the road.

Easy, right? Get goin’, Picasso, you’ve got some artwork to create!
