This feature allows users to transform an image by dragging its four corners to create a realistic perspective effect, making the image appear tilted or placed on a surface. Users can also control how the image fits inside the shape and optionally repeat it as a pattern.
3D Transform helps create realistic and visually engaging presentations by placing images onto angled surfaces such as laptop screens, phone mockups, walls, or billboards. It gives slides a modern and professional look while allowing users to easily customize image perspective and placement.
- Open the presentation and select the slide containing the image you want to transform.
- Click the image to open the Properties panel.
- In the Properties panel, expand the 3D Transform section.
- Click Edit Transform.
- Drag any of the corner handles to reshape the image with perspective.
- (Optional) Choose an Image Fit option:
- Stretch — fills the shape completely
- Fill — covers the shape and may crop the image
You can also replace the placeholder logo with your company logo.
- (Optional) Enable Tile Image to repeat the image as a pattern.
- (Optional) Adjust:
Repeat X
Repeat Y
- to control how many times the image repeats.
- Click Done to apply the transformation.
- To edit the transformation later, select the image again and click Edit Transform. To undo changes, use Undo or press Ctrl/Cmd + Z.
