If you don’t see it in your version of PowerPoint, you’ll need to upgrade to the Office 365 version. The newest version of PowerPoint has a “Convert to Shape” feature. What you’ll do is convert the SVG image into an object that can be edited in PowerPoint. Voila! I will add, that I’ve had a few SVG files that didn’t work, but for the most part it’s been smooth sailing. Insert a picture by using Insert>Pictures on the toolbar. Unless of course, you know how to use PowerPoint. However, to edit them requires knowing how to do so with an illustration program. This is great because they can be edited and customized. In fact, one of the sites where I buy images has the option to download SVG images.

And that’s a big deal because we’re starting to see more SVG images every day. The good news is that now you can edit SVG images in PowerPoint.
