How to Make a Cartoon of Yourself in PowerPoint – A Guide

While PowerPoint presentations are highly effective methods of communicating information in schools and at work, simple ones with just text and pictures can quickly become tedious. You can still make your presentations exciting, and that’s where cartoon video presentation makers come in.

Today, we’ll show you how to make a cartoon in PowerPoint using three different methods.

You’ll first learn how to make a cartoon of yourself in PowerPoint by manually drawing everything inside the built-in cartoon slideshow maker, and then we’ll show you how to create a cartoon video presentation with a third-party tool and by adding graphics. Let’s dig in.

Method 2. Making a Cartoon in PowerPoint by Drawing

We’ll begin with a free cartoon presentation maker and the manual drawing method. It’s a tool built into the PowerPoint app; you can access it on Windows, Mac, and online. Here’s how:

Step 1: Launch the PowerPoint app on your device.

Step 2: Tap the Draw tab and select one of the drawing tools.

Once your drawing is copied to the clipboard, tap the CTRL + . keys on whichever slide you want to add your cartoon drawing.

Method 3. How to Make a Cartoon in PowerPoint by Adding Graphics

PowerPoint lets users access thousands of stock images they can quickly add to their presentations. You can add these graphics to create cartoon video presentations by following these steps:

Step 1: Open the PowerPoint app.

Step 2: Head to Insert > Pictures > Stock Images.

Step 3: Tap the Cartoon People tab and select the cartoon graphics you like.

Step 4: Once you’ve selected a cartoon character, tap the Insert button to add it to your presentation.

Note: Stock Images has dozens of categories of cartoon people. You can search for particular items and make your presentations unique with these stock characters.

Bonus Tips: How to Customize Cartoons in PowerPoint

If you’re unsatisfied with your cartoon character and want to change things for better results, try the app’s customization options and swap things around. Here’s how:

Step 1: Launch PowerPoint and load the presentation with the cartoons you want to customize.

Step 2: Right-click on the cartoon character and select Group > Ungroup to separate multiple elements from each other.

Step 3: Choose a specific part of the cartoon character you want to customize. Right-click it and select From Images > Graphic.

Step 4: Choose a particular graphic and tap Insert.

Note: PowerPoint also lets you add color to your cartoon characters. To do this, right-click a character, tap Ungroup, choose a part where you want to add colors, tap Shape Fill, and select a color.

Conclusion

While valuable and convenient for sharing information, PowerPoint presentations with simple textual and image elements quickly get boring. However, they don’t have to be.

With some creativity and work, you can create animated video presentations, and we’ve shown you how to make a cartoon of yourself in PowerPoint with multiple methods.

Although PowerPoint is a fantastic tool for drawing, using stock images of cartoon people, and customizing your characters, Wondershare Virbo is a far better option due to the app’s hundreds of templates, AI avatars, and stickers that’ll make each of your presentations feel unique.
