How to Reset a Picture to Its Default State in Google Slides

  1. Click on the image to select it.
  2. Right-click on the selected image and choose “Reset image” from the context menu. Alternatively, you can click the “Reset image” button in the toolbar above.
  3. The image will be reverted to its original state when first inserted, removing any edits or modifications made to it since it was added to the slide.

The search results note that this will reset aspects like cropping, color changes, transparency adjustments, etc. that were applied to the image within Google Slides. However, it does not undo edits made to the source image file outside of Slides before inserting it.

To replace the image entirely, right-click it and choose “Replace image” to select a new image file to insert.

The key limitations noted are:

  • You cannot adjust the display resolution of images in Slides, only the file resolution before inserting.
  • There is no way to change the default animation in Slides, but you can select all objects on a slide and batch change the animation.
  • Some large, high-resolution image files may not display properly in Slides regardless of edits. They need to be resized before inserting.

I hope this helps explain the process for resetting Google Slides images! Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions.
