How to Round Text Box Corners in Google Slides

Quick summary

Google Slides does not have a native rounded text box option, but you can achieve the same result by inserting a rounded rectangle shape and typing directly inside it. This workaround lets you add styled text containers with curved corners to any slide in seconds.

Steps

1. In the top menu, click Shapes.
2. Hover over Shapes to expand the submenu.
3. Choose Rounded rectangle or Oval from the shape options.
4. Draw the shape on your slide canvas.
5. Double-click inside the shape to activate the text cursor.
6. Type your text inside the shape.
7. Your shape now works as a rounded text box.
