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.
