PowerPoint / By /

PowerPoint presentations are a great way to convey information to an audience. However, sometimes the presentation can become monotonous and boring. One way to add some excitement to your presentation is by adding a page-turn transition effect between slides.

In this article, we will discuss how to add a page-turn transition effect in PowerPoint. I will also show you other transition styles which generate similar effects.

2. Then, go to the Transitions menu.

3. Expand the Transition Effects section to reveal more options.

4. Select the Peel Off effect from the list.

5. The slide with a transition animation will have a star mark. If you want to apply the effect to all slides, you must select them first.

The Peel Off effect is probably the closest page-turning animation you can get on PowerPoint. But there are two other effects that are similar.

  2. Click on the Transitions tab in the PowerPoint ribbon.
  3. In the Transitions tab, click on the Effect Options dropdown menu.
