Fortunately Google Slides offers a few tools that can help you out. One of these options will let you select from a handful of different “recolored” options that swap out some of the original image’s colors. Our tutorial below will show you how to find and apply this change so that you can see if it improves the look of your slide. This Google Slides add border to image guide can show you how to quickly customize your picture with a border that you can modify.

How to Change the Colors of a Picture in Google Slides

The steps in this article assume that you have a picture in one of the slides of your presentation, and that you want to change the color palette of that picture. Note that this only provides a handful of options for changing color schemes of an image. You won’t be able to do any granular image editing with it. If you need to do more to your picture than you can with the tools in Google Slides, then you may be better served by a dedicated image-editing program like Photoshop. Step 1: Sign into Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and double-click the file containing the picture that you want to recolor. Step 2: Select the image that you want to recolor, then click the Format options button in the gray toolbar above the slide. Step 3: Click the arrow to the left of Recolor in the right column, then click the No recolor dropdown menu and choose a different color palette.
