Learn how to create a dark mode experience in Google Slides with these simple steps

Google Slides does not currently have a built-in dark mode. However, you can use workarounds to make the interface easier on the eyes, especially in low-light environments.
This guide walks you through step-by-step methods to achieve a dark-mode effect, including changing slide themes, using browser extensions, or adjusting your system settings.

Steps to Enable Dark Mode or a Dark Theme in Google Slides

Step 1: Change the Slide Theme to a Dark Background

Open your Google Slides presentation.

Click on “Slide” in the top menu, then select “Change Background.”

Choose a dark color, such as black or dark gray, and click “Done.”

To apply this to all slides, click “Apply to all.” This changes the slide background to dark but does not affect the interface.

Step 2: Use Browser Extensions for Dark Mode

Install a browser extension like Dark Reader (available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.).

Enable the extension and turn on dark mode for your browser.
The entire Google Slides interface, including menus and tools, will now appear in dark mode.

Step 3: Adjust System-Wide Dark Mode Settings (Optional)

On your device, enable dark mode in the system settings:
  • Windows: Go to Settings > Personalization > Colors > Choose Dark.

  • Mac: Go to System Preferences > General > Appearance > Choose Dark.
While this won’t directly change Google Slides, it can darken the browser and other apps, providing a more cohesive dark-mode experience.

Step 4: Preview Your Slides for Compatibility

If you’ve used a dark background, ensure all text and elements are clearly visible.

Use contrasting colors (e.g., white or light gray text) to maintain readability.

Conclusion

While Google Slides doesn’t have a built-in dark mode, these steps allow you to customize your presentation or use tools to reduce eye strain.
Whether you adjust the slide background, use a browser extension, or enable system-wide dark mode, you can create a more comfortable working environment for your presentations.

FAQs on Making Google Slides Dark Mode

Does changing the slide background to dark affect the entire interface?

No, it only changes the slide design. Use a browser extension to darken the interface.

Can I use dark mode on mobile for Google Slides?

Yes, enable your device’s dark mode settings. However, it won’t affect the slide content directly.

Will browser extensions affect how others view the presentation?

No, browser extensions only change how the interface appears on your screen. Your presentation remains unchanged for others.
By following these steps, you can easily simulate a dark-mode experience in Google Slides!
