How to Insert a Google Doc into a Google Slide

To insert a Google Doc into Google Slides, you can download the document as a PDF and then convert the PDF into a PNG. Finally, drag and drop the document images into the slide.

Step 1: Open the document

The first step is to open the Google Docs document that you want to insert into Google Slides.

To do this, go to docs.google.com and click on the document you want to open.

Now proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Go to File > Download > PDF document

Once you have opened the document, click on the “File” option in the top menu.

A menu with a list of options will appear. Select the “Download” option, and then choose “PDF document”.

The Google Doc will be downloaded to your default download folder in PDF format.

Once the download is complete, you can proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Convert the document to PNG using a free online tool

The next step is to convert the downloaded PDF document to PNG format so that it can be inserted into the slide.

There are several online tools available for free that can be used to convert the file.

Below is a list of recommended PDF to PNG conversion tools:

1. https://pdf2png.com
2. https://cloudconvert.com/pdf-to-png
3. https://convertio.co/pdf-png/
4. https://www.freeconvert.com/pdf-to-png
5. https://www.freepdfconvert.com/pdf-to-png

Choose one of these tools, upload the PDF file, click “Convert” to convert the file, and then download the resulting PNG files.

Each page of the document will be saved as a separate image.

For example, if you upload a 10-page document, it will be converted into 10 individual images.

Step 4: Open the slide

Now, go to docs.google.com/presentation/ and click on the presentation where you want to insert the Google Doc.

Finally, scroll to the slide where you want to insert the document.

Step 5: Drag and drop the image(s) onto the slide

After you open the slide, simply drag and drop the document images one by one onto the slide.

Step 6: Adjust the document’s pages on the slide

Once you have uploaded the images onto the slide, it is time to adjust their size.

For example, if you have a 2-page document and want to insert 2 images into a single slide, drag both images onto the slide and then resize them so they fit.

If needed, you can also crop the image in Google Slides to show only the desired portion.
