Google Slides is often used as a free alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint. Many users new to Google Slides look for similar options, such as ways to download Google Slides themes. Unlike PowerPoint, you don’t necessarily need to download Google Slide themes, as a copy can be obtained online for presentations.
How to Get Themes from Template Gallery
The Template Gallery in Google Slides provides a variety of templates that you can use. If your theme’s gallery isn’t expanded when visiting the Google Slides home page, click Template Gallery.
You can pick a theme by sifting through the various categories and selecting one that suits your needs.
The theme picked from the Template Gallery can be edited using Google Slides.
How to Pick or Change Themes in Google Slides
If you start with a blank presentation, you can view themes from the right sidebar and pick or change the theme according to need. These can be viewed via the Themes button on the top toolbar. This option can also be reached via Slide > Change Theme.
You can pick and choose themes from the right sidebar. This can be done anytime, regardless of whether you’re starting your presentation, in the middle of it, or want to try new themes with a presentation that has been completed.
How to Import Theme in Google Slides
The Themes option also gives an Import theme button at the bottom that can be used to import themes.
You can either upload a new theme or pick one from Google Drive.
Once your theme is imported, the design of the theme will be applied to your presentation.
