How to Change the Font on All Slides in Google Slides

Lee Stanton August 28, 2023

When you’ve finished a good portion of a Google Slides presentation and decide to use a different font, you could be left frustrated. If you’ve created many slides and suspect you have to change them one by one, you might be tempted to leave them alone instead. Fortunately, it’s easy to change the font on every slide at once.

This article will explain everything you need to know.

Change the Font on All Slides With Master Slide (pre-October 2021)

When you decide to experiment, follow these steps to change the font on the entire Google Slides presentation. This process is applicable if you have a version of Google Slides that predates October 2021.

Launch Google Slides and open your presentation.
Click the “Slide” menu.
Choose “Edit theme” to access the master slides.
Select the first slide which is the “master slide.”
You have two options for font changes here:
- The top text box changes the slide titles.
- The lower text boxes control the text in the presentation body.
Select one or more text boxes depending on which areas of text you want to change.
Choose your new font from the Font drop-down list. Your text in the presentation will be updated with this change.
Click the “X” in the top right corner to close master slides.

Leaving the master slides open can result in accidental but monumental changes, so verify that this is closed before you continue working on the presentation.

Change the Font on All Slides With Theme Builder (after October 2021)

If you have an updated version of Google Slides, these steps will help you edit an entire presentation through the Theme Builder feature. With the Theme Builder editor, you can change the font throughout the presentation from one location.

Open your presentation in Google Slides.
Select the “Slide“ menu.
Choose “Edit theme“ from the drop-down menu.
On the left, you can see each of your presentation’s slide layout templates, and how many slides use each template.
Click the “MASTER“ slide at the top.
Click on the text in the template that represents the block you want to change. If you want to change all of the titles for instance, click the Master Title text box.
In the toolbar at the top of the screen, you’ll see the font options. Choose a font from the drop-down Font menu.
You can also resize the font if you wish with the plus and minus signs next to the font size.
Change any other levels of text in your presentation that you desire.
View the slide template to see how your changes appear.

Your changes will now be reflected in the entire presentation.

How to Add More Fonts to Google Slides

Google Slides gives you access to more fonts than you can see in the drop-down menu. If you can’t find the perfect font, you can browse more fonts and add them to your available options.

Open a presentation in Google Slides.
Choose a text box to experiment with.
Click the Font drop-down arrow in the toolbar.
Click “More fonts.”
A window will pop up for managing the fonts that show up in the Font drop-down menu.
Browse through the font library. You can filter, sort, and search the font types.
When you see a font that interests you, click its name to add it to your list of “My fonts.”
You can also click the “X” next to a font to remove it from your “My fonts.”
Click “OK” once you’re done font exploring.

Google Slides supports all Google Fonts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t currently offer the ability to port in third-party fonts. Their list is extensive, however, and should have plenty of fonts to choose from to complement your presentation theme.

Changing the Font on All Google Slides

It might seem overwhelming when you need to change the font on a bunch of Google Slides at once, but as you can see, it’s really quite simple. No need to worry about selecting the perfect font at the beginning of a presentation. You can make a font switch at any time.
