Decide whether sharp corners or rounded ones best suit the overall look of your slides.

PowerPoint Rounded Corners: Here’s How!

PowerPoint provides an easy and effective way to round corners without the need for external graphics software. There are different methods for rounding off corners, depending on what you’re using in your presentation.

Option 1: Rounding Picture Corners

This section covers how to insert a picture and round off its corners.

Step 1: Insert Your Picture

Navigate to the Insert tab and click on Pictures to add an image to your presentation.

Step 2: Resize and Position Your Picture

• To resize a picture: Use the corner points of the image. Click on a corner, hold down the left mouse button, and drag to adjust the size.
• To reposition the picture: Hover your cursor over the picture until it changes to a four-arrow symbol. Click and hold, then drag your picture to your desired location on the slide.

You can make additional edits using the Picture Format tab that appears when you click on the image.

This tab allows you to adjust the size or crop the image.

(You can even make your image more transparent using the Transparency option. For more details on transparent images, see this post . You can also adjust colors and explore many customization options to fit the image perfectly into your presentation.)

Right-clicking on your image provides even more editing options. The Format Picture menu will appear on the right side of the presentation:

Step 3: Crop the Picture

Select Crop in the Picture Format tab.

A drop-down menu will appear; click on Crop to Shape and select the rectangle with rounded corners.

Step 4: Adjust Corner Radius

A yellow dot will appear at the upper left edge of your image. Right-click on this dot and drag it left or right to adjust the radius of the corner curve: move it to the left for smaller, sharper corners or to the right for larger, rounder corners.

Then simply save your work. Your image now features elegantly rounded corners!

Option 2: Rounding Shape Corners

If you want to create a shape and fill it with text, follow these steps.

Step 1: Insert a Rounded Rectangle

Open a new PowerPoint presentation. Click on the Insert tab, select Shapes, then choose Rectangle: Rounded Corners.

Step 2: Draw Your Shape

Draw the rectangle to your desired size.

Step 3: Format Your Shape

Right-click on the rectangle to open the Shape Format tab, which allows you to customize your shape in a manner similar to the previous option.

You can also right-click on your rectangle to select Format Shape from the drop-down menu, which opens the Format Shape options on the right-hand side of the presentation.

Step 4: Adjust the Corner Radius

Once again, you can modify the corner radius by clicking on the rectangle, then dragging the yellow point that appears at the top left edge. Move it to the left for smaller, sharper corners and to the right for larger, rounder corners.

Now save your file; you have successfully rounded your PowerPoint corners!
