Why Adding a Watermark in Google Slides is Important

Using a watermark effectively communicates your brand and protects your intellectual property while adding a touch of professionalism.

• Branding: Incorporates your logo or brand name, ensuring consistent brand identity across all slides.

• Uniformity: Maintains a consistent appearance throughout the presentation, especially useful for collaborative work.

How to Add a Watermark in Google Slides
