Create a PNG sketch for Google Slides

A PNG sketch can make a slide easier to understand when a normal text bullet is too flat. Use PlainCanvas to draw a small diagram, label it, and export it for a presentation.

Choose the right background

Use a transparent background when the sketch should sit on top of an existing slide design. Use a white background when the sketch should look like a standalone image or note card.

Make it readable from a distance

Slides are often viewed on smaller screens or projectors. Use larger brush sizes, short labels, and strong contrast. Thin lines that look fine while editing can become hard to read after resizing.

Export and insert

1. Draw the sketch at a comfortable size in PlainCanvas.
2. Add labels only where they make the idea clearer.
3. Click Save PNG or Copy PNG.
4. Insert the PNG into Google Slides and resize it proportionally.
