15 Presentation Background Examples & Templates to Keep Your Audience Awake
By Ryan McCready , Jul 07, 2023
Backgrounds are the foundation for creating an engaging presentation .
A great background can elevate your visual content and help it reach millions of people. But a bad background will make the whole project fall apart.
This is especially true when it comes to presentation backgrounds.
Most of the time, the reader is only going to see the background image once. But with presentations, it’s a whole different story.
Depending on how long your presentation is, that background could be seen 25, 50 or even 100 times!
In fact, according to a recent presentation design statistics study we did, the majority of keynote speakers said their biggest challenge was formatting their slides to keep readers engaged.
So you need to pick something that won’t distract or bore your audience.
Sometimes that’s a very tricky line to walk, but fear not–I have a ton of experience picking the perfect presentation background!
I’ve rounded up 15 great presentation templates to help you pick the ideal background for your presentation. Keep reading to learn how you can pick the perfect background and ace your next presentation!
1. Open Computer Screen Presentation Background
I’m a huge fan of using mockups in my content and design work. If you check out Venngage’s Gallery , you will see that it’s full of professional poster and flyer mockups.
These mockups are extremely useful because you can instantly place the reader in your shoes. Readers will see a computer screen, flyer or another object like it’s sitting right in front of them.
This presentation background example is a simple mockup that almost anyone can use. It would work perfectly as a business background for many purposes beyond presentations too. Check out how the designer used it in the title slide below:
CREATE THIS PRESENTATION TEMPLATE
With an image frame, you can make the computer screen show whatever you want, even the background image:
Learn how to customize this presentation template :
Creating an effective business presentation involves careful planning, organization and effective communication. Save yourself the time and hassle by customizing one of our professionally designed business presentation templates .
2. Zen Garden Presentation Background Image
Plants have been very popular for the past couple of years. If you have ever been in a new trendy restaurant, you definitely know what I’m talking about.
This simple background has the same feel as one of those hip establishments.
This background also embodies the colorful minimalism trend that is blowing up this year. In this case, a simple colorful subject dominates the graphic, but it still feels very light and airy.
And best of all, you can easily use a few different plant background images throughout the presentation. Take a look at how the designer used similar images to create a consistent design:
3. Simple Dot Pattern Background Image
Sometimes you want a presentation background that gives your slides a little bit of texture, without being distracting. I believe that this presentation background embodies that idea pretty well.
It is just interesting enough to catch your eye, but not pull your attention away from what the presenter is talking about.
As you can see in the presentation example below, each slide feels like it has real depth as well. Almost like the icons and information are jumping off the page:
4. Crumpled Paper Presentation Background Image
Realistic flat images always make superb background images, in my opinion. I like to use them when I want to create a minimalist graphic or add something extra to a slide.
The flat textures and patterns on this simple background are extremely flexible as well!
Like a blank canvas, you can create almost any kind of presentation on top of this background image. It can be used to improve an art lecture, a business meeting or a recycling presentation:
With a simple color filter you can make the background image match your company branding as well:
Check out our presentation design guide . It includes a ton more presentation design hacks like this one.
5. Colorful Circles Presentation Background Image
Looking for a way to add a little color to your presentation? This background may be perfect for you!
It has a ton of white space for you to add content or headers to the slide. And the colorful circles make the presentation seem fun and light.
I would recommend using this background for a presentation that you want to keep casual and fun.
For example, the designers used this background as a title and conclusion slide for a social media presentation:
Remember to pick a color palette that reflects the mood of your presentation.
6. Bold Red Arrow Presentation Background
I would recommend finding a background before you start designing your presentation. This way you can create the slides around the background image.
With the right background image, you can give your slides structure and direction. Or at least improve the layout of your presentation .
Check out how the designers used this background image to improve the slides. The arrow of the background image perfectly fits the topic of the presentation.
And because it’s used on the title slide, it will put the audience in the right headspace from the beginning.
7. Split Slide Presentation Background Example
This example is one presentation background that everyone has probably used a few times. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was part of the first presentation software ever.
It may be extremely simple, but it’s just as effective all these years later. That’s because you can use this on any presentation topic or in any industry. Get your message across in a simple but powerful way with these simple presentations templates .
This ease of use and flexibility will help you create a killer presentation in no time. Take a look at how it was used throughout the slides below:
8. Subtle White Grid Presentation Background
Like the white paper example above, this image will give your presentation background a lot of subtle depth. It’s engaging enough to grab someone’s attention, but not enough to distract from the written content.
I really like how the texture differs from one square to the next. It makes the whole image a lot more interesting to the eye.
Plus the white color palette will make it easy to place text, graphs or charts directly on top of it. This will ensure that your presentation isn’t cluttered or messy. Take a look at how it’s used in the presentation example below:
9. Purple Gradient Presentation Background Image
If you haven’t heard, gradients are super popular and will be for the next few years. No, we haven’t gone back in time to the 1990’s — gradients are really back.
Gradients make great background images because they are unique and futuristic. If you want to stand out from the crowd, this background is perfect! Plus these color transitions look spectacular on HD screens and social media.
As you can see below, the white text and icons really jump off the page when placed on top of a gradient:
And you can make a gradient out of literally any combination of colors that you want:
10. Flat Typographic Background Image
Typography is a key part of effective design.
I really like this background image because it will add a lot of character to a slide or presentation. The subtle shadows and highlights actually make this black and white photo seem colorful as well.
A background image like this is very versatile because you can use a few different color palettes with it. Not many colors are going to clash with that monochrome photo.
And if you use a vivid color palette, which is very trendy this year, the colors will very eye-catching. Take a look at how great the different palettes look below:
11. Checkerboard Texture Presentation Background
If you are tired of using a flat background image, but not ready for something too flashy, this background texture is perfect for you!
As you can see, it uses the classic checkerboard pattern to break up the background layer. However, because the pattern is also flat, it won’t distract from your presentation content.
I would recommend using this pattern to add a clear visual break between sections, kinda like they did in the slides below:

12. Geometric Pattern Presentation Background Image
This is one of the most interesting background images in the entire roundup, in my opinion. The bold colors and creative patterns will make the whole presentation feel extra exciting.
Another great feature of this background is that it can be used with a ton of different palettes. Go ahead, pick a color from the geometric pattern, and then use it throughout your slides.
13. Flat Creative Presentation Background Image Example
Set the tone for your creative presentation from the start with this trendy background image. If you weren’t aware, succulents and plants are very trendy this year in creative circles.
The open section at the top of this background is the perfect spot to add a header or title as well. Check out how they used it in the title slide below:
Plus the bold colors of this image help you pick the color palettes of the other slides:

14. Arrows Everywhere Subtle Background Texture
A simple background like this can add some serious depth to your presentation. Or blog post.
With a myriad of textures, directions and sizes, the triangles will effortlessly draw the eye. I would recommend using this background in a tech and marketing presentation.
Also, you should try to stick to a geometric or minimalist theme for your slide. In the example below, they choose to use other simple shapes and it blends together extremely well:
15. City Skyline Background Image Example
Finding a subtle background image is hard, especially if you want to use a stock photo . A lot of the time they divert attention from the content on the screen.
Or, even worse, they don’t match your presentation’s color palette and theme. This city background is ideal because it has such a neutral color palette. Take a look at how well it matches the other slides below:
You can also use a color filter to make it a little less distracting and match your presentation theme:

How to add transparency to an image in google slides.
Tweak image transparency on a browser or on mobile
Google Slides is an easy tool for making presentations online through Google Chrome or offline with one of the best 2-in-1 Chromebooks for productivity. It's packed with tools and features like autoplaying presentations that can turn boring slides into eye-catching presentations, but some are not easily found.
This guide helps you add transparency to images and shapes in Google Slides for browsers and the Google Slides Android and iOS app. Making an image transparent adds depth or subtle backgrounds to your slides. We show you how to add and change transparency to uploaded images or shapes from Google Slides.
Changing image opacity in Google Slides
You must insert an image in Google Slides to follow these steps. If you want to add transparency to a shape or text box in Google Slides, skip to the next section, as adding transparency to shapes is not the same.
Add transparency to an image in the Google Slides web app
Follow this section if you use Google Slides through a web browser or a Chromebook.
- Click an image.
- Click the Adjustments drop-down menu from the side menu.
Transparency automatically changes as you adjust the slider, and you can see the transparency change in real time.
Add transparency to an image in the Google Slides mobile app
You can follow the steps for the Google Slides mobile app whether you have the Android or iOS apps, as they are identical for this feature.
- Tap an image.
- Tap the Adjustments button (square with + and - symbols in the bottom toolbar).
How to add transparency to a shape in Google Slides
The fill color and the border color of a shape in Google Slides can be customized separately. This includes transparency, so you can turn the fill transparent, leaving the border showing. You can also make the border transparent, but this has the same effect as making it the same color as the fill.
There isn't an opacity slider for shapes. If you don't want an image to be completely transparent, add a gradient.
Text boxes have a transparent background by default, but if you change the background color and want to change it back, follow these steps.
Add transparency to a shape in the Google Slides web app
- Click a shape.
- Click the Fill color (paint bucket icon) or Border color (pencil icon) button in the top toolbar.
Add transparency to a shape in the Google Slides mobile app
- Tap a shape.
- Tap the Fill color (paint bucket icon) or Border color (pencil icon) button in the bottom toolbar.
Tips for adding transparency to an image in Google Slides
Adding transparency to an image is simple, and you can follow these tips to make the most of this nifty feature.
How to add audio to your Google Slides presentation
Layer transparent shapes on top of each other.
Overlapping shapes with the same transparency settings on top of each other creates a gradient effect as the transparent effect is reduced with each layer. This is easier than recreating shapes and manually setting the transparency for each one.
Use transparent images as backgrounds for a cohesive presentation
You can use the same image as a background for every slide to create a slideshow with a cohesive theme. However, a normal image can be distracting. Set the transparency to a low level (around 40%) to overlay text and images without distracting your audience from the content of your presentation.
When editing your slideshow, set it to the back layer by right-clicking the image and selecting Order and Send to back from the context window to ensure your background image doesn't get in the way when adjusting other shapes or images.
Add a transparent-to-opaque gradient to a shape
If you want a shape to transition from transparent to opaque, choose the custom option from the Gradient section of the Fill Color option. Here, you can add a custom transition color. Click the plus button to add a new color, and drag the transparency slider to the left to add a transparent start to your gradient. You cannot apply this effect to images.
Use a photo-editing app to make a section of an image transparent
Google Slides has limited photo-editing features. If you want to make a section of an image transparent, use a dedicated photo editing app like Photoshop or GIMP. If you're unsure where to start in the complex world of photo-editing apps, our handy roundup of the best photo-editing apps helps you find a suitable one.
Use all of Google Slides tools to create beautiful presentations
Google Slides' features may look limited at first glance, but exploring the possibilities of tools like the transparency editor can help you make stunning slideshows. However, mastering these tools takes time. If you need to whip up a presentation in a hurry, explore the best templates in Google Slides . These templates are suitable for school, work, or personal use.
Google's presentation software has a new Gemini AI powered feature that is basically magic
G oogle may have just shown off the power of its Gemini AI platform in an intriguing way that could save slideshow fans hours of stress.
The company has revealed it will be utilizing its flagship AI offering within Google Slides to help users with formatting in a very particular way that might seem like magic to some of us older users.
Namely, Google Slides users will now be able to remove the background from images added to a presentation with just a click.
Google Slides image backgrounds
Now this might not sound particularly impressive, but for those of us raised making presentations or slides in ClipArt or similar, who know the pain of image formatting and ruining a Microsoft Word or PowerPoint file simply by daring to move an image *slightly*, Google's update is frankly brilliant.
In order to use the tool, users simply have to select an image on your slide > right-click and select "Remove background" or select the “Remove background” button in the toolbar.
The feature won't be available to all users, at least for now, with Google limiting it to Slides users with either of the Gemini Enterprise and Gemini Business add-ons, and to users on personal accounts through Google One AI Premium.
Covering the majority of the company's artificial intelligence tricks and treats, Google One AI Premium is available to buy now and will cost you $19.99 / £18.99 / AU$32.99 a month, and includes 2TB of storage to use across your Google services: Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Photos, as well as access to Gemini Advanced, listed as the "most capable" version, including support for longer and more complicated queries.
The news is the latest upgrade for Google Slides users, coming shortly after the company revealed new recording functionalities that will allow presenters to record a small bubble of themselves talking overlaid over their slides.
