Inserting transparent background .png files for PowerPoint
PowerPoint presentations with custom colored backgrounds benefit from artwork saved and imported
as transparent .png files. If you want to know more, please call Multimedia Services at 567-2250.
1. PNG files work in place of traditional JPG files to eliminate rectangular borders around
your imported graphics, because the PNG files have an alpha transparency layer.
2. Artwork created in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop can be exported as a PNG
3. This file type is ideal for animation effects within your presentation, as you can import
separate but close fitting elements and manipulate them to move and interact with
each other on the same slide.
4. This is particularly suitable for cellular and membrane presentations where there are
multi step interactions between extracellular, membrane receptors, and intracellular
components.
