Yes, you can. Our templates are editable for the most part unless you’re looking at a graphic element/resource from the design itself. For that, you’ll have to search that particular element in the master slide to download it.

What are master slides? These are slides with the complete layout, format, and structure of elements used in every single slide of a presentation. Editing a master slide in Google Slides is easy. Click on Slide → Edit master. To edit in PowerPoint, click on View → Slide Master.

You’ll notice 2 types of master slides. In the “Master,” you’ll choose and set the paragraph style which suits you — which means picking out the fonts, sizes, and colors to use. You will find 2 boxes for text in which you will input a title and body text. In this slide, you will also get to edit other elements that are fixed and will appear in your presentation. These elements include logo, background color, header, page number, and others.

In the “Layouts” slide, you will find the design and the structure of elements that appear on all sides of your presentation.

The fonts on Google Slides are sourced from Google Fonts. You don’t need to download them when on Google Slides. But if you are working on a PowerPoint template, installing fonts may be necessary.

You will need to download all available styles used in a template to avoid any unnecessary typography issues. That said, you can easily make changes by merely closing the presentation and then opening it again to edit. Do refer to “Can I use my own fonts” in the template to find out how to install fonts from Google Fonts.

You are automatically granted access to our templates. Despite that, some Google Account users might face difficulties with getting permission to copy these templates. These are usually school or company accounts. If you encounter such an issue, do refer to the following solutions:

Use your personal Google Account instead.
Step 1: Get your company/school admin to whitelist: //slidestheme.com
Step 2: You can download the template you like as a PowerPoint file first.
Step 3: Once done, convert it to Google Slides.
