In this tutorial, I am using macOS with PowerPoint version 16.68.

Here’s how to download a premium PowerPoint template from Envato Elements:

1. Sign In

To download a premium template, you’ll need to be an Envato Elements subscriber. The first step is to go to elements.envato.com . Then, at the top right, click on the Sign In button.

2. Sign Up or Enter Your Information

To sign up, click on the Create an Envato Account button located under the greyed-out Sign in button.

If you already have an account or prefer to sign up quickly, you can continue using Google, Apple, or Facebook, or enter your username and password in the appropriate fields.

3. Search for Templates

After signing in, go to Envato Elements to find a premium template. Click on the arrow next to the search bar that says All Items.

When you click the arrow, a menu drops down. From the menu, select the Presentation Templates option to filter your search.

4. Enter Keywords

After selecting Presentation Templates, enter relevant keywords in the search bar. The keywords can be general, like PowerPoint, or more specific, like Green PowerPoint.

Press the magnifying glass button on the right side to search, or simply press Return on your keyboard.

5. Download a Template

Once you’ve pressed Return, various PowerPoint template options will appear. Follow these steps to download:

1. Choose the best PowerPoint template that suits your needs.
2. Click on the image to view details about the template (for this tutorial, I selected the Latte PowerPoint presentation template).
3. To download the presentation, click on the red Download button on the right side of your screen.

The final step to installing your PowerPoint template is to open the downloaded file. It will likely be a zipped file. Double-click the zipped file to unzip it.

A folder will appear containing your template’s contents. Open the folder and click on the Latte-PowerPoint.pptx file, which will automatically open in PowerPoint.

How to Import a PowerPoint Template into Google Slides

You must have a Google account to upload your template to Google Slides. Here’s how to import your template:

To import your PowerPoint template into Google Slides, first upload the file to Google Drive. Click on the +New button in the top left corner. A menu will appear; choose the File Upload option.

This will open a file finder on your computer. Locate your downloaded file and double-click it (or click Open).

2. Upload Your PPTX File to Google Slides (Method 2)

For a quicker method, simply drag and drop your .pptx file onto your Google Drive screen.

After dropping the file, a notification at the bottom of your screen will indicate that the upload is complete.
