How to Add Accents in Google Slides

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to insert accented characters into your Google Slides presentation.

Quick summary

Adding accents in Google Slides is done through the built-in Special Characters tool under the Insert menu. This method lets you find and embed any accented character directly into your slide text without third-party tools.


Steps

  1. Click on the text in your slide where you want to insert an accented character.
  2. Open the Insert menu at the top of Google Slides and select Special Characters.
  3. Browse or search for the accent you need using the search bar in the Special Characters dialog.
  4. Click the accent you want to insert it into your slide text.
  5. Your accented character is now in place — continue adding more or close the dialog when finished.

📌 Why this matters

Inserting accents in Google Slides is essential for anyone creating multilingual presentations, academic content, or professionally written slide decks. Google Slides does not have a dedicated accent keyboard shortcut, making the Special Characters tool the most reliable built-in method for adding accented letters. Knowing this workflow saves time and ensures your text is spelled correctly in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and other accent-dependent languages. This feature is available to all Google Slides users at no extra cost, directly within the Insert menu.
