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

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.

Where to find illustrations icons & clipart for PowerPoint slides?

  • August 11, 2020

Lee-Ann

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.

screenshot of the PowerPoint insert pictures stock images menu which is the path to find clip art

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

Screenshot of the PowerPoint insert pictures popup dialogue box showing PowerPoint insert illustrations tab where to find clipart in PowerPoint

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.

Screenshot of the PowerPoint clipart illustrations inserted to PowerPoint presentation with example of how to update accent colors in clipart illustrations

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.

Screenshot of the PowerPoint Insert Video dialogue box showing Microsoft stock images of Videos for PowerPoint

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

How-To Geek

6 ways to create more interactive powerpoint presentations.

Engage your audience with cool, actionable features.

Quick Links

  • Add a QR code
  • Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)
  • Embed a Live Web Page
  • Add Links and Menus
  • Add Clickable Images to Give More Info
  • Add a Countdown Timer

We've all been to a presentation where the speaker bores you to death with a mundane PowerPoint presentation. Actually, the speaker could have kept you much more engaged by adding some interactive features to their slideshow. Let's look into some of these options.

1. Add a QR code

Adding a QR code can be particularly useful if you want to direct your audience to an online form, website, or video.

Some websites have in-built ways to create a QR code. For example, on Microsoft Forms , when you click "Collect Responses," you'll see the QR code option via the icon highlighted in the screenshot below. You can either right-click the QR code to copy and paste it into your presentation, or click "Download" to add it to your device gallery to insert the QR code as a picture.

In fact, you can easily add a QR code to take your viewer to any website. On Microsoft Edge, right-click anywhere on a web page where there isn't already a link, and left-click "Create QR Code For This Page."

You can also create QR codes in other browsers, such as Chrome.

You can then copy or download the QR code to use wherever you like in your presentation.

2. Embed Microsoft Forms (Education or Business Only)

If you plan to send your PPT presentation to others—for example, if you're a trainer sending step-by-step instruction presentation, a teacher sending an independent learning task to your students, or a campaigner for your local councilor sending a persuasive PPT to constituents—you might want to embed a quiz, questionnaire, pole, or feedback survey in your presentation.

In PowerPoint, open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, and in the Forms group, click "Forms". If you cannot see this option, you can add new buttons to the ribbon .

As at April 2024, this feature is only available for those using their work or school account. We're using a Microsoft 365 Personal account in the screenshot below, which is why the Forms icon is grayed out.

Then, a sidebar will appear on the right-hand side of your screen, where you can either choose a form you have already created or opt to craft a new form.

Now, you can share your PPT presentation with others , who can click the fields and submit their responses when they view the presentation.

3. Embed a Live Web Page

You could always screenshot a web page and paste that into your PPT, but that's not a very interactive addition to your presentation. Instead, you can embed a live web page into your PPT so that people with access to your presentation can interact actively with its contents.

To do this, we will need to add an add-in to our PPT account .

Add-ins are not always reliable or secure. Before installing an add-in to your Microsoft account, check that the author is a reputable company, and type the add-in's name into a search engine to read reviews and other users' experiences.

To embed a web page, add the Web Viewer add-in ( this is an add-in created by Microsoft ).

Go to the relevant slide and open the Web Viewer add-in. Then, copy and paste the secure URL into the field box, and remove https:// from the start of the address. In our example, we will add a selector wheel to our slide. Click "Preview" to see a sample of the web page's appearance in your presentation.

This is how ours will look.

When you or someone with access to your presentation views the slideshow, this web page will be live and interactive.

4. Add Links and Menus

As well as moving from one slide to the next through a keyboard action or mouse click, you can create links within your presentation to direct the audience to specific locations.

To create a link, right-click the outline of the clickable object, and click "Link."

In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, click "Place In This Document," choose the landing destination, and click "OK."

What's more, to make it clear that an object is clickable, you can use action buttons. Open the "Insert" tab on the ribbon, click "Shape," and then choose an appropriate action button. Usefully, PPT will automatically prompt you to add a link to these shapes.

You might also want a menu that displays on every slide. Once you have created the menu, add the links using the method outlined above. Then, select all the items, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then use Ctrl+V to paste them in your other slides.

5. Add Clickable Images to Give More Info

Through PowerPoint's animations, you can give your viewer the power to choose what they see and when they see it. This works nicely whether you're planning to send your presentation to others to run through independently or whether you're presenting in front of a group and want your audience to decide which action they want to take.

Start by creating the objects that will be clickable (trigger) and the items that will appear (pop-up).

Then, select all the pop-ups together. When you click "Animations" on the ribbon and choose an appropriate animation for the effect you want to achieve, this will be applied to all objects you have selected.

The next step is to rename the triggers in your presentation. To do this, open the "Home" tab, and in the Editing group, click "Select", and then "Selection Pane."

With the Selection Pane open, select each trigger on your slide individually, and rename them in the Selection Pane, so that they can be easily linked to in the next step.

Finally, go back to the first pop-up. Open the "Animations" tab, and in the Advanced Animation group, click the "Trigger" drop-down arrow. Then, you can set the item to appear when a trigger is clicked in your presentation.

If you want your item to disappear when the trigger is clicked again, select the pop-up, click "Add Animation" in the Advanced Animation group, choose an Exit animation, and follow the same step to link that animation to the trigger button.

6. Add a Countdown Timer

A great way to get your audience to engage with your PPT presentation is to keep them on edge by adding a countdown timer. Whether you're leading a presentation and want to let your audience stop to discuss a topic, or running an online quiz with time-limit questions, having a countdown timer means your audience will keep their eye on your slide throughout.

To do this, you need to animate text boxes or shapes containing your countdown numbers. Choose and format a shape and type the highest number that your countdown clock will need. In our case, we're creating a 10-second timer.

Now, with your shape selected, open the "Animations" tab on the ribbon and click the animation drop-down arrow. Then, in the Exit menu, click "Disappear."

Open the Animation Pane, and click the drop-down arrow next to the animation you've just added. From there, choose "Timing."

Make sure "On Click" is selected in the Start menu, and change the Delay option to "1 second," before clicking "OK."

Then, with this shape still selected, press Ctrl+C (copy), and then Ctrl+V (paste). In the second box, type 9 . With the Animation Pane still open and this second shape selected, click the drop-down arrow and choose "Timing" again. Change the Start option to "After Previous," and make sure the Delay option is 1 second. Then, click "OK."

We can now use this second shape as our template, as when we copy and paste it again, the animations will also duplicate. With this second shape selected, press Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, type 8 into the box, and continue to do the same until you get to 0 .

Next, remove the animations from the "0" box, as you don't want this to disappear. To do this, click the shape, and in the Animation Pane drop-down, click "Remove."

You now need to layer them in order. Right-click the box containing number 1, and click "Bring To Front." You will now see that box on the top. Do the same with the other numbers in ascending order.

Finally, you need to align the objects together. Click anywhere on your slide and press Ctrl+A. Then, in the Home tab on the ribbon, click "Arrange." First click "Align Center," and then bring the menu up again, so that you can click "Align Middle."

Press Ctrl+A again to select your timer, and you can then move your timer or copy and paste it elsewhere.

Press F5 to see the presentation in action, and when you get to the slide containing the timer, click anywhere on the slide to see your countdown timer in action!

Now that your PPT presentation is more interactive, make sure you've avoided these eight common presentational mistakes before you present your slides.
