Use this interactive demo to learn how to give images rounded corners in Google Slides.

Quick summary

This demo shows you how to round image corners in Google Slides using the built-in crop to shape feature. In just four steps, you can apply a rounded rectangle mask to any image directly on your slide canvas.

Steps

On your slide canvas, select the image you want to edit.
In the top toolbar, click the Crop image dropdown arrow.
Hover over Shapes in the crop menu.
Choose the Rounded rectangle shape to apply it.
Your image will be cropped with rounded corners.

📌 Why this matters

Rounded image corners are a simple design touch that makes Google Slides presentations look more polished and professional. Google Slides does not offer a dedicated corner-radius slider, so knowing the crop-to-shape workaround is essential for anyone who wants clean, modern visuals without third-party tools. This technique works natively inside Google Slides, requires no add-ons, and takes under a minute to apply — making it a high-value skill for educators, marketers, and business presenters alike.
