(Some content translated by GPT-5.4 Thinking and edited.)
You can now edit images directly in PowerPoint for Windows, Mac, or the web, eliminating the time and hassle of switching to a separate image editing app. You can easily perform a variety of enhancement tasks, such as removing backgrounds, erasing or moving unwanted elements, improving image quality, upscaling resolution, and editing text that appears in images.
Here are some use cases you can try:
Clean up screenshots, photos, and online images
Remove distracting backgrounds from photos before placing them in a layout
Add text annotations with cool text effects
Enhance low-resolution images copied from the web or scanned
Automatically improve lighting and contrast to edit images suitable for presentations
Remove unwanted objects or blemishes with the Eraser tool
Increase the sharpness of images that appear pixelated on large screens using the Upscale feature
This feature is rolling out gradually to web users and will be available to users in the next version.
Features introduced in the blog are rolled out sequentially to monitor quality and performance. Therefore, some preview features may not be immediately available to users. As part of this process, features may be temporarily suspended, adjusted, or removed. [The rest of the content is omitted]
