Swapping a photo
Basic mode: under Your photos, click a photo and choose Replace. Add your photos fills every slide in order in one go.
Advanced mode: select the photo and click Replace in its toolbar, or in the Image section of the Layers tab.
The picker has two tabs — My media and Stock — and an Upload button for something new.
Cropping
Double-click a photo, or click Crop.
Drag the photo to move it inside the frame, pull the corners to trim the frame, and pick a shape — Original, 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and more. Click Done (or press Enter); Cancel puts it back.
Removing the background
Select a photo and click Remove background in its toolbar. A few seconds later you're cut out of the photo, with nothing behind you.
Some templates do this for you — see Cutouts.
Background removal is Pro. On the free plan you get three free tries.
More you can do
Select a photo and look through the Layers tab for:
- Frame shape — put the photo in a circle, an arch, a blob and more.
- Looks — black and white, sepia, a color tint, grain.
- Overlay — darken the photo so text on top of it reads better.
