How to Add Watermark in PowerPoint?
A watermark can be a semi-transparent image or text behind your content. This special image or text indicates the ownership of the intellectual property. If you don’t want others to copy your presentation, you can add a watermark in PowerPoint.
When you need a consistent visual identity for the entire presentation, adding a logo as a watermark or the company’s name behind the slides works best. There are two common ways to add a watermark in PowerPoint:
- Enter a text box with different text effects and add it to all slides
- Add an image as a background or add the logo in the corner of the slides

Add Text Watermark in PowerPoint
Most of the presentations have watermarks to restrict the copying of the original contents of the slides. But you can add a watermark in slides for any reason. Here is how to insert text as a watermark in PowerPoint slides.
- Open your PowerPoint presentation where you want to add the watermark
- Go to the View tab and then click on the “Slide Master” option
- Once the Slider Master view is open, go to Insert tab >> Text Box and place the text box on the slide
- Enter the text or company name in the text box, adjust the settings, and change the transparency level.
- Close Slide Master View and that text watermark is now visible across all slides.
While the process is the same for all themes, the current theme of the presentation may push the watermark behind a few elements. Change the text position according to the theme of your presentation.
Add Image as Watermark in Slides
Do you want a specific image to appear on all of your slides? This can be a company logo or anything else. For detailed steps, we encourage you to check a detailed guide on how to add a company logo to your presentation.
Now, you can either add a full image as the slides’ background or a small logo in the corner or anywhere else in the slides. The same procedure for adding a text watermark applies to adding an image as a watermark in the slides. Follow these steps to insert an image as a watermark in the slide master view.
- Open your PowerPoint file, Go to View tab >> Slide Master
- Choose the very first slide, go to Insert Tab >> Picture >> add logo >> adjust it
- Close the Master Slide View, and now all your slides have the image in the corner as a watermark.
You can change the image settings, placement, size, position, and transparency according to the theme of the presentation. This will not only protect your presentation but also add value to your brand identity. The audience will remember the logo or image throughout the presentation.
How to Remove Watermark from Slides?
Do you want to remove the watermark from your slides? You can remove both image and text watermarks from all of your slides. PowerPoint also allows adding or removing watermarks to specific slides only. Here is how to remove the watermark from all slides in PowerPoint:
- Open your presentation and choose Slide Master from the View tab
- Select the first slide and then delete or remove the text box from the master slide
- Close the “Slide Master” view, and the watermark is removed from all of your slides
It is easy to remove a watermark from any presentation. The same process applies to removing an image watermark from all slides. Otherwise, you will be missing an amazing opportunity to impress your audience with branding.
