Enhance Your Slides with a Watermark

A watermark can be added to all of your slides at once by placing the image on the slide master.

Watermarks can be as simple as a company logo placed in a corner of the slide to brand it, or can be a large image that is used as the background for the slide. In the case of a large image, the watermark is often faded so that it does not distract the audience from the content of your slides.
