How to add icons in PowerPoint?

Icons may be just the thing to spice up your presentation. They are both meaningful, illustrative, and universal. The reason icons work is that they take a single concept and reduces it to a simple shape. When people see an icon, they don’t really see the symbol as much they know what it represents.

If you are using subscription PowerPoint office 365, you can see icon option as you go through the insert tab in the ribbon.

By clicking on that, you can see a list of icons if you have the Internet.
Now select the icons you like and click on the insert.

Now you can see all those chosen icons are on your slide.

You’re able to align the icons or even change the color of them.

If you’re using Office 365, the list of icons is reasonably extensive, with categories of icons for people, technology and electronics, communication, business, and so on.

But no worries, if you don’t have Office 365, I’ve provided all these icons In order and category, and you can download them easily at the bottom of this file, copy and use it in your own slides without being worry about the copyright.

There are also some sources for icons such as:
