Easily separate parts of an image in Google Slides using cropping, masking, duplication, and layering techniques

Can You Separate Parts of an Image on Google Slides?

Google Slides does not have a built-in tool to separate parts of an image like advanced graphic design software.
However, you can achieve a similar effect using cropping, masking, and layering techniques.
Follow this step-by-step guide to separate parts of an image in Google Slides.

Steps to Separate Parts of an Image in Google Slides

Step 1: Insert the Image

Open Google Slides and create a new slide.

Step 3: Crop Each Copy to a Different Section

Repeat this process for each copy, cropping different sections.

Step 4: Use Shape Masking for More Precise Cuts

Select an image and click Mask Image (Dropdown next to Crop Tool).
Choose a shape (e.g., circle, triangle, or custom shape) to cut out specific portions of the image.
