How to upload an image to your Powtoon

Powtoon Studio lets you upload your own images directly onto any slide. You can upload from your computer or import from a connected social media channel. Uploaded images are also saved to My Images, your personal image library, so you can reuse them in future Powtoons.

In addition to your own uploads, you can browse ready-made visuals in the Powtoon libraries.

Before you start

You must be working in Create mode inside Powtoon Studio to upload an image. If you are in any other mode, switch to Create mode before following the steps below.

Accepted image formats and file size limits

Powtoon accepts the following image formats when uploading to a slide:

• JPG and JPEG — maximum file size 5 MB
• PNG — maximum file size 5 MB
• GIF — maximum file size 5 MB
• SVG — maximum file size 100 KB

Files that exceed these limits will not upload successfully. Resize or compress the file before trying again.

How to upload an image to a slide

2. Click the Upload Media button in the left-hand panel.
3. Select Image from the menu that appears.
4. Choose how you want to add your image:
