Microsoft PowerPoint offers a lot of options for creating your presentation. You can choose to add YouTube videos to your presentation, collaborate with colleagues using built-in sharing options, and then track changes. The PowerPoint app is available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
In this post, we’ll cover a feature that will add depth and meaning to your presentation. We’ll show you how to make the background transparent in PowerPoint on iPhone and Mac.
Create a transparent background in PowerPoint on iPhone
First, let us show how you can add transparency to your PowerPoint background using your iPhone. This feature is useful when you want to add additional text to an image in your slide. By making the background transparent, you can add that text on top of the image without affecting its readability.
You can download the PowerPoint app on your iPhone and use it on the go.
Follow these steps to make the background transparent. These steps are also applicable to iPad users.
Step 1: Open the PowerPoint application.
Step 2: Open your presentation or create a new one. Select the slide where you want to add a transparent background.
Step 3: Tap the three dots in the bottom right corner once the slide is selected.
Step 4: Tap Home.
Step 5: Select Design from the menu.
Step 6: In the Design tab, tap Format Background.

Step 9: Select the photo you want to use as a transparent (or rather, translucent) background.
Step 10: After adding the image to the slide, drag the slider to Adjust Transparency.
Step 11: Once selected, click the bottom arrow to close the tab.
That’s how you can adjust the background transparency of an image in PowerPoint. That will be useful if you want to put some text on it for your presentation.
You may experience a slight delay when adjusting transparency on older iPhone models.
