What Are Impact Slides
Impact Slides are image-forward PowerPoint layouts that give you a bold focal point, legible headline, and balanced spacing out of the box. Each layout thumbnail previews your selected clipart inside the design so you can pick the composition that fits your message.
Ideal for title slides, section dividers, product reveals, quotes, campaign kickoffs, and social-ready graphics exported from your deck.
How Impact Slides Work
Option 1: Start from a Clipart Page
- Find your clipart. Browse or search until you spot the graphic you want.
- Pick an Impact layout. On the clipart page, click the Impact layout thumbnails. Each shows your graphic embedded in the design.
- Open in the builder. Click your favorite thumbnail to load the layout with your graphic placed automatically.
- Add text quickly. Use AI Text for a headline and body or type your own, then tweak fonts, colors, and spacing.
- Export your slide. Download a PPTX to edit in PowerPoint or upload that PPTX to Google Slides.
Tip: Use one Impact Slide as your opener or as a visual reset between sections. The contrast boosts attention and recall.
Using Manual Mode in the AI Presentation Builder
- Open the AI Presentation Builder and switch to Manual Mode.
- In Filters, enable Impact Slides and choose a layout.
- Generate AI Text for the headline and body, then build your presentation.
- After build, you can swap the clipart inside the Impact Slide to fine-tune the visual.
Manual Mode gives you layout-first control. Start with the composition you love, then pair it with the perfect graphic.
Best Practices for High-Impact Slides
- Lead with the benefit. Make the headline the outcome your audience wants.
- Keep copy scannable. One strong headline plus a short paragraph or three short bullets.
- Use white space. Let the composition breathe for readability and focus.
- Match brand colors. Adjust accents and text for instant brand fit.
- Choose intentional clipart. Pick visuals that reinforce the message rather than decorate it.
- Export smart. PPTX works in PowerPoint and can be uploaded to Google Slides for flexible editing.
