Slide Library: How to Save, Access, and Insert Slides Across Presentations

The Slide Library lets you store approved, reusable slides in one central place — company overviews, pricing slides, team intros, case studies — and insert them into any presentation instantly. Any update you make to a library slide reflects automatically across every presentation that uses it.

Note: Slide Library slides can only be used in Presentation format projects. They are not compatible with other project types.

Adding a Slide to the Slide Library

From your Dashboard, open the presentation that contains the slide you want to save.

In the editor, hover over the slide thumbnail in the right panel. Click the gear icon that appears in the top-left corner of the thumbnail.

From the dropdown menu, select Save to Library. Give the slide a name and confirm. It’s now available to insert into any other presentation.

Note: Slides saved to the Slide Library cannot be edited directly within a project. To edit a library slide, access it from the Slide Library first — any changes you make there will automatically update in all presentations that use that slide.

Accessing the Slide Library

In your Dashboard, click the Projects tab in the left sidebar to expand the projects view.

In the expanded sidebar, click Slide Library. This is where all your saved slides are stored.

Inside the Slide Library you’ll find your Slide Library Groups and Individual Slides. From here you can browse, organize, and edit slides to keep your presentations consistent.

Insert a Slide from the Slide Library

In the editor, go to the Slides panel on the right and click the + New Slide button.

Select the My Library tab to access your saved slides and groups.

Open the group you need, then hover over the slide you want to add and click Insert — or click and drag it into the Slides panel.

Note: If a Slide Group contains multiple slides, you can insert them all at once. They will appear in the slide panel in the same order as in the group.

Note: Slides are saved based on the canvas size of the project they were originally created in. Visme’s standard presentation size is 1366 × 768. If you insert a library slide into a presentation with different dimensions — for example, one imported from PowerPoint — the formatting may appear off.

Important: For consistent results across all presentations, work with a uniform canvas size. If you have PowerPoint decks imported into Visme, we recommend adjusting them to Visme’s standard size of 1366 × 768 before saving slides to the library.

Common issues

I edited a library slide but my presentations didn’t update | Give it a moment to sync. If the update doesn’t appear after refreshing, check that the slide in the presentation is actually linked to the library — not a copied version.
