Upload a logo if you'd like it to appear on every slide.

Make sure your logo's background is transparent (or matches the slide background color) and that there is minimal whitespace around the logo itself.

Click Create theme to save your theme.

Use AI to generate your theme

Enter a name or description into the Theme Name field and click Generate with AI.

You can use also custom themes when generating a presentation, inserting a slide, or remixing an existing slide.

When generating a presentation, your custom theme will appear in the theme picker, after you customize your content outline.

Choosing a theme when generating a new presentation

When inserting or remixing slides, your custom theme will appear in the dropdown above the layout selector.

Currently, the layout thumbnails in the Insert and Remix tabs do not update when you select a custom theme. But don't worry, your custom theme will be applied to your generated slide.
