First photos (#3)

Go to your Animals slide...

Step 1: find a picture

  1. Open another tab in Chrome
  2. Type something and [Enter] to search
  3. Then look at Images.
  • Search for photos, not clipart/memes/watermarks.
  • Click on a picture you'd like to use to see the preview on the right
    • Is the picture a good size? Hover over the preview to see the size; you can use pictures that are at least 500 pixels wide.
    • Is the picture clear, not blurry?

copy image

To copy the picture, right-click on the preview (not the thumbnail!) and Copy Image.

paste picture on slide

Click on the slide and Paste (using the toolbutton) or CTRL+V.

resize pictures

To resize a picture - make it bigger/smaller - drag a corner handle in/out (not a top/side handle!)


Resize and position your photos so you're filling up your slide as much as possible.

Position & resize your pictures starting from the bottom right corner area.

Don't squish or stretch your pictures! Don't resize from side/bottom handles, use the corner handles.

Get your animal photos checked for quality before moving on!

Make your PPT window full-sized so you can see if your photos are clear/blurry. Blurry photos will be deleted.

More Photos (#4-6)

Each list slide needs 4 photos, one photo for each bullet. 

  • photos are good quality, not blurry
  • photos are as big as possible; resize them to fill up the slide
  • photos are not squished or stretched (resize from a corner)
  • photos are not covering any text.

Here are some example slides; you can see in some slides the pictures are overlapping - just make sure you don't cover the focus of the picture below.

You should have 4 list slides with photos like this...

not squished/stretched

You need to resize from a corner, not the sides or top/bottom! Also don't try to make your pictures all the same size like this...

Click on the arrow at the bottom of the Size section. This opens a panel on the right where you can see the % of the width and height. 

They should be the same number. If they're not, type in whichever box is bigger and type in the smaller number and [Enter] to apply. Your picture will become proportional and you can try to resize it from a corner again.


not covering any text

If you have any pictures that are covering the title or other text...

... resize/move it.
