In this post we'll explore how to edit free vector images in PowerPoint. You'll be able to use them in your presentations and online training courses.

There are hundreds of sites to download free vector images that can be used for your presentations and online training courses. The challenge is that to edit most of the free vector images requires an illustration application like Illustrator or Inkscape (free). However, if you get them in .EPS format you may be able to edit the free vector images in PowerPoint.

Formats to Edit Free Vector Images

Vector images are not like bitmap images that are based on pixels. Vector images use a mathematical formula to draw the images onscreen. That's why they always look nice and crisp when scaled.

Generally speaking they're made up of a bunch of shapes that when combined represent the image. Because of this, they can be ungrouped and the individual shapes can be edited.

Whether you purchase the vector images or get them for free, they are typically in one of two formats: .AI or .EPS and can be edited in an illustration program. If the free vector image is in .EPS format you may be able to edit it in PowerPoint.

How to Edit Free Vector Images in PowerPoint

This process works the same way as if you were ungrouping clip art in PowerPoint. Here's how:

Locate a vector image in .EPS format and insert it on the PowerPoint slide. You'll notice that initially it may look a bit jagged. That's OK, it'll change when we do the next step.

Ungroup the .EPS file. Right-click on the image and select "Ungroup." Vector images are often made up of multiple groups of shapes so you may have to ungroup the groups a few times.

Edit the image as if it were any other shape in PowerPoint. Change colors, position, etc.

Group the image when you're done editing it. Select it, right-click, and select "Group." That's it.

Bonus Tips to Edit Free Vector Images

Speed up your grouping and ungrouping using keyboard shortcuts in PowerPoint. CTRL+G groups selected shapes and CTRL+Shift+G ungroups them.

Save the image to use in other applications like Storyline or elsewhere. Right-click and select "Save As Picture." I usually save as .PNG. I also save the PowerPoint file in case I want to make additional changes down the road.

Potential Issues If You Edit Free Vector Images

For the most part, ungrouping .EPS files in PowerPoint works well. However, it does break down if the shapes are made of gradients and not solid colors. The image below shows the before and after of an ungrouped file in PowerPoint. Ungrouping that image creates about 8500 individual shapes. In that case it's probably not worth messing with it.

Also, some of the colors and shapes may change, too. Compare the before and after images below. You'll notice that the original colors were softer and the lines a bit thinner.

Here's a video tutorial that shows how to edit free vector images in PowerPoint. I also add a few extra production tips.

Click here to watch the video tutorial at YouTube.

Microsoft may have gotten rid of clip art for PowerPoint, but there's no reason why you can't edit free vector images and get what you need for your presentations and elearning courses. It just takes a little bit of practice.

How to extract every 2 pages from PDF

Want to extract every two pages into a new PDF? An example would be an original 12 pages document being split into 6 smaller documents, having 2 pages each. First document has pages 1 and 2, next one has pages 3 and 4 and so on.

Click More options, then select Split every X pages.

In the next screen, displaying all pages, type 2 into the number of pages field.

How to split PDF by every X page

Let's say you have a 12 pages document and you'd like to split it into 3 documents, each containing 4 pages from the original. Here's how to do it.

Click More options, then select Split every X pages.

In the next screen you can set the number of pages the resulting documents should contain.

How to visually select PDF pages to split at

You want to split the document at certain pages. For example a 12 pages document needs to be split in two, first part should have first 3 pages and the second part the remaining 9 pages.

Choose Select pages to split. The next screen should display all pages in the document.

Click on pages. You should see a color coded visual preview of how the document will be divided.

Example: Click on page 4 and page 10 if you want to split the document in 3 parts: first containing pages 1-4, second containing pages 5-10 and last pages 11 to the end.

Wrong selection? Just click the same page again to undo. There's also a Clear selection button in the top part of the page to start over.

Maybe you're an aspiring photographer looking for inspiration. Perhaps an up-and-coming entrepreneur trying to find stock photography to add to your website. Whatever your profession, it's never a bad idea to have some stock photography websites at your disposal. That's why we've compiled the five best stock photography websites online to ensure that you have access to millions of free stock images instantly.

We've even included three bonus sites. Read all the way to the end to check them out! They go great with these free clip art download sites, which you may also find useful when you need something other than photographs.

How Free Is Free?

There's a question of how free "free" is. Some websites allow you to download pictures for private use - e.g. background wallpapers - but will disallow images for commercial use. This includes instances as business cards, websites, or posters. The websites below are protected under Creative Commons CC0.

The person who associated a work with this deed has dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving all of his or her rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. - CreativeCommons.org

The following websites either support, or are fully composed of, CC0 images available in the public domain. The owners of these images have allowed users to modify, edit, and use their images without copyright backlash.

Two things concerning common courtesy when using CC0 images. One, although you do not have to give credit to the creator, it's recommended that you do in order to publicize the artists' efforts. Two, these websites often have a Donate page or splash screen. If you use free image hosting sites often, consider donating to their cause.

Once you register for a free membership at Freerange, thousands of high-resolution stock photos will be at your fingertips at no cost. All of the website's images can be used for personal or commercial projects. For photographers, Freerange also offers Google AdSense revenue sharing when you contribute.

In addition to thousands of unique images, the site also has about 20,000 CC0 photos, most of which have accurate keywords and descriptions.

The team behind the project has also launched another free site specializing in vintage images called Vintage Stock Photos. The content previously required payment, but now you can find more than $25,000 worth of quality vintage photos for no charge.

Unsplash is a side-project started by Crew, an online marketing agency dedicated to making your design dreams a reality.

Besides providing free stock photography, Unsplash also showcases graphic design work done by users with their MadeWith section.

Pexels is a website that wants to help. Started in 2015, it has grown to develop a reputable stock photo library. Its mission statement phrases their aim best.

We help millions of designers, writers, artists, programmers and other creators to get access to beautiful photos that they can use freely which empowers them to create amazing products, designs, stories, websites, apps, art and other work. We call it: "Empowering Creators" - Pexels.com

Pexels is also unique in that it doesn't only display images located on the Pexels website. It also outsources images from such high-quality websites as Gratisography, Little Visuals, and more.

Best of all, Pexels screens their images to ensure the highest quality images available. Note that you can also download high quality stock videos through the site.

Although Flickr is not dedicated to public domain images, they have an extensive library of high-quality public domain images.

Flickr is, and has been for a long time, one of the greatest image libraries on the internet. With over 3 million, high-quality public domain images alone, I doubt you'll run out of stock photography anytime soon.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I've spent hours at a time scouring through the beautiful pictures on Life of Pix.

Created by LEEROY advertising agency in Montreal, Life of Pix is a haven for free, public domain photography. Better yet, their Life of Vids website contains even more impressive stock video footage, completely for free!

StockSnap provides an excellent and extensive library for free stock imagery. With hundreds of high-quality photos added weekly, StockSnap isn't your casual photography outlet.

Created by the good people at Snappa, every single image in StockSnap is free for you to use. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better image repository.

Pixabay is another image repository which integrates images from other image hosting sites. They attempt to gather the very best of free stock images for your own personal or commercial use.

Pixabay also allows easy access to camera search, which allows users to explore images based on the camera used to take them. This is a great resource for both beginner and professional photographers alike.

Wikimedia provides a truly stunning image repository, spanning everything from lush landscapes to historical events.

Touting over 34,000,000 freely usable media, including videos and sounds, Wikimedia is a necessity for graphic designers, photographers, and artists looking for free, high-quality images. Wikimedia is also part of a much larger organization dedicated to free images, education, and information.

Watermarks Be Damned!

Through the concerted effort of a select few, it's now easier than ever to view, enjoy, and use high-quality stock photography for free. Remember, there are some measures of common courtesy that shouldn't be avoided for the benefit of the creators. That said, enjoy the best, free stock photography the online world has to offer!
And if these turn out to be unsatisfactory, you should really consider using a top-tier stock image site like Shutterstock. It may cost money, but you'll love the quality and variety offered.
