There's multiple ways to add images to your slides in Pitch. We're going to cover quickly adding your own media to slides, but you can also add images with AI, add images from our integrations, and add media and use images from your media library.
Please note that adding images to your slides does not automatically add them to your library.
Drag and drop an image or GIF
The easiest way to add your own image or GIF to Pitch is to drag it from its original location and drop it onto your slide.
Navigate to the slide you want to edit.
Open the folder on your computer or the page in your browser that contains the image you want to add.
Click and hold the file, drag it onto your slide, and release.
Paste an image or GIF from the clipboard
You can paste an image or GIF directly onto your slide. First, copy the file or the image or GIF itself from the source (e.g., a website) by pressing Command + C (or Ctrl + C on Windows). Then, open your slide and press Command + V (or Ctrl + V on Windows) to paste your image.
💡 Did you know you can take a screenshot that also copies to the clipboard? On a Mac, press Command + Control + Shift + 4 and drag the cursor around your image. On Windows, press Alt + PrtScn.
Copy and paste images from other presentation tools
This is a simple copy and paste if you’re using PowerPoint and Keynote. If you’re working with images from Google Slides you’ll need to take a few additional steps.
One method is to download your Google Slides presentation as a PowerPoint document, open it in PowerPoint, and copy and paste your image onto your slide in Pitch.
Alternatively:
Copy your images into a Google Doc.
Navigate to File > Download > Web Page (.html, zipped) to download your document as an .html file.
The zip file will contain all images, which can then be dragged into a Pitch presentation.
Upload media from your computer
Click the Image button on the top toolbar — or hit the letter I on your keyboard — and select Upload image.
Select a JPG, JPEG, PNG, SVG, or GIF file. The file size limit is 5MB for our Starter plan, while our paid plans have no limit. Click Open, and your image will be displayed on your slide.
Replace an image
You can swap out media in a few steps without having to reformat your slide. Click on your image block and select Replace in the inline editor. This will open the media menu. Then, choose an image from your library or from one of our integrations. It will automatically fit into the existing dimensions of the original image.
Alternatively, click on Replace media in the Design panel in the bubble bar.
Edit images
Click on your image, and then on Design in the bubble bar on the right. To open this panel, you can also click the options menu in the inline editor. Here is what you can do with your image:
Apply a filter
Reduce the opacity
Add a blur effect
Round the corners
Add an overlay
Add a shadow
Set an image as a background
And there’s more! Open the Layout section in the design panel for the following options:
Resize your image by manually entering the height and width in pixels
Rotate an image by entering the degree of rotation
Flip your image vertically or horizontally
Resize your image proportionally
Unlock the proportions of the image
