Insert a picture from your computer on your slide

  1. Click where you want to insert the picture on the slide.

  2. On the Insert tab, in the Images group, click Pictures.


  3. In the dialog box that opens, browse to the picture that you want to insert, click that picture, and then click Insert.

    Tip: If you want to insert multiple pictures at the same time, press and hold the Ctrl key while you select all the pictures you want to insert.

Insert clip art

Unlike some earlier versions of PowerPoint, PowerPoint 2013 and newer versions don't have a clip art gallery. Instead, use Insert > Online Pictures to find and insert clip art using the Bing search tool.


For example, after you select Online Pictures, you might search for horse clip art and see a variety of images under a Creative Commons license.
