Import Your PowerPoint Presentation to Google Slides

Converting your PowerPoint presentation to Google Slides is relatively easy. You can do this by importing the individual slides. This method allows you to select certain slides you want to import, which allows you to cut what you don’t need. To get started, go to the Google Slides website and log in. The next thing you’ll want to do is open a blank presentation, click the “File” tab, and then select “Import Slides” from the drop-down menu. IDG / Marshall Gunnell

You can also choose to keep the look of your presentation by checking the box next to “Keep Original Theme.” Once you’re ready, click “Import Slides.” IDG / Marshall Gunnell
