Add a Picture Fill to Text
When you use a picture as a fill for text, format your text so that it is large and bold. Choose a fat font, such as Arial Black or Broadway, that has thick lines. When you use a font with a thick line, more of your picture will show inside each letter.
Select the text on the slide. Go to Drawing Tools Format. In the WordArt Styles group, select the Text Fill dropdown arrow and choose Picture. In the Insert Pictures dialog box, choose one of the options to insert a picture: From a file, Bing Image Search, or OneDrive - Personal. In PowerPoint 2019, your choices are From a File, Online Pictures, and From Icons. To use a picture on your computer, select From a File, choose the picture file, and select Insert. The picture is inserted into the text on the slide. To insert an image found on the web, select Bing Image Search or Online Pictures, enter your search parameters for the desired picture (in this example tie-dye is entered), and select the magnifying glass or press Enter. Scroll through the results and choose an image. Once you find the image you want, select Insert. Leave the filter to Creative Commons only to avoid using copyrighted images. To insert a picture you’ve saved to OneDrive, select OneDrive - Personal. In PowerPoint 2019, choose From a File. Navigate through any folders within OneDrive to locate a picture. Once you have found a picture to use, choose it and select Insert. If you are not satisfied with the end result, press Ctrl+Z to undo the text fill and repeat these steps to choose a different picture.
Having a picture inserted into the PowerPoint text entices your audience to look closer at your presentation and adds a uniqueness that will hold their attention.
