How to Add Text Box in Google Slides

Adding text boxes gives you precise control over where text appears on your slide, independent of the standard title and content placeholders. You can position text anywhere - over images, in margins, or scattered across the slide for creative layouts. Text boxes also preserve their formatting and positioning when you copy slides between presentations, making them essential for maintaining consistent branding and design elements. This flexibility transforms your slides from rigid templates into custom canvases where every element serves your specific message and visual hierarchy.
