How to download Envato templates for free

Matic Broz

Since Envato Elements removed its free trial , the only way to get anything for free is through their free files program.

Every month, Envato’s team picks 12 files (decreased from 16) from their entire collection of over 73K video templates, 228K graphic templates, 91K presentation templates, 4.7K web templates, and 1.1K CMS templates, as well as 10+ million images, videos, audio, plugins, fonts, and more. These files are then offered for free.

Here’s how to download Envato templates for free:

  • Go to the Envato free files page . Alternatively, go to elements.envato.com, scroll all the way down, and click on Monthly Free Files in the footer menu.
  • Click the red Create account now button to create a free Envato Elements account. You can connect it to your Google, Apple, or Facebook account.
  • Once on the page with the 12 free files, find a file you like. Click the red download icon to open a licensing popup (screenshot below). Assign the free file to a project and click Add & Download .

Envato Elements licensing free files

  • Come back every month to get new 12 free files.

If you’re a serious creator, you can’t rely on a few freebies per month. Envato Elements’ subscription allows unlimited downloads , and I often download between 10 and 30 files per day when working. Also, Envato’s paid plan offers some of the highest indemnities among unlimited download subscriptions, giving you valuable peace of mind.

IMPORTANT: Downloading Envato templates for free through unauthorized means is illegal and can result in copyright infringement . As tempting as it may be to try and download templates for free illegally, it’s always best to use legitimate sources like the Envato Elements free files program.

What can you do with the free files?

The free file license is similar to the regular license, but it comes with several additional restrictions. You can download and install the templates (and other files) on your personal computer and use them commercially. Freelancers can even use them when on working client projects.

However, each file is limited to a single end product, and sharing the original files, even for free, is strictly prohibited. Modifications are allowed, but only as part of the final product itself. These files are not meant to be building blocks for user-generated content within on-demand or DIY services.

Envato Elements free files page

Music files come with even more restrictions: broadcasting or theatrical releases are off-limits. Public performance rights are conspicuously absent for P.R.O. music, and the original author retains complete ownership.

Breaching these terms can lead to swift termination of your license, and potentially even further consequences. Since Envato offers these files for free, they are presented “as is,” without any guarantees. This means there’s no assurance of originality or freedom from intellectual property infringement.

To protect themselves, Envato takes no responsibility for any losses or legal fees arising from third-party claims related to the use of the files. Also, their maximum liability to you is capped at a mere $10.

How to buy Envato templates

If you’re going to use templates for commercial purposes, then you should get a proper license. While the free license does cover commercial use, it doesn’t provide any legal coverage, which is crucial for commercial purposes.

The cheapest way to buy Envato templates is through Envato Elements. This is Envato’s platform offering over 13 million stock assets, such as images, fonts, videos, plugins, and even templates, under one affordable subscription that grants you unlimited downloads.

The best discounts:

  • Photutorial 70% discount on the first month at Envato Elements — $11.70 per month, was $39
  • Envato Elements annual plan discount — $16.50 per month, was $39

The subscription costs just $16.50 per month when bought yearly. Eligible students get an additional 30% discount and pay just $11.50 monthly, while Photutorial readers get 70% off their first month. This makes Envato Elements one of the cheapest sources of stock assets, including templates.

Envato Elements student pricing

Alternatives

There are several ‘real’ free trials that give you between 10 and 40 royalty-free downloads per month. These also include indemnity, usually $10,000, and save you between $30 and $80. I recommend checking the following first:

  • Adobe Stock free trial
  • iStock free trial
  • Best stock photo free trials

How to Create a PowerPoint Presentation From a PPT Template

Sarah Joy

  • Bahasa Indonesia

Creating a presentation from scratch can be time-consuming and complicated. Even when you try your best, the presentation design may not turn out how you want. This is why using a premium template is beneficial. 

This article covers how to create a PowerPoint presentation from a quality PPT template. In addition, we’ll also look at some top premium PowerPoint presentation templates.

What Is a PowerPoint Template?

PowerPoint is a popular presentation software by Microsoft. You can use PowerPoint for business and personal purposes. Presentations are a great way to use words to create an impact. For example, if you show the benefits of a product or service or present data, a presentation can make it more memorable.

A PowerPoint template is like a blueprint for your presentation. Templates typically contain slide layouts, colors, fonts, effects, and background styles. In addition, some templates come with illustrations and infographics. These tools make your presentation more visually interesting and can help you explain an important topic.

Your Preparation

Most of the work while creating a business presentation occurs before you fire up PowerPoint. 

When creating a presentation, you want to achieve an objective. For example, you might need to present the results of your department for the last quarter in the form of a presentation to your colleagues. Or, you could be seeking funding and looking to impress potential investors with your  business pitch presentation . Know what your presentation is aiming to communicate and accomplish.

Getting the Content Right

Everything begins with the content you'll put in the presentation to achieve your objective. Ideally, it's brief and crystal-clear. Typically, the less content (by sticking to key facts and figures), the more digestible your presentation is.

Key Presentation Facts

To save time, revising content while you're still preparing it (such as in Word or any other text processor) is much smarter than making content changes while designing.

Once you feel confident about your content preparation, it's time to design your presentation in PowerPoint.

Designing Your Presentation

For our tutorial, we'll be using the  Business PPT template . Then, we'll show you how to use the template to customize slides for your business presentation. 

The Business PowerPoint Presentation is from Envato Elements.

Before starting any template you download, look at the initial requirements in an accompanying text file or their online description. For example, not having the correct font installed might mess up the layout of the template slides.

Getting Started

First, let's duplicate the theme. You can achieve this by right-clicking on the .pptx file and clicking  Copy in the menu. You can copy and paste the file and rename the new document.

Instead of directly editing the template, we'll be copying slides that we'll use in our new document from the original theme file. This way, we're not editing the template source in which you would need to delete or hide slides you don't use.

Now let's review how to edit this PowerPoint template for your presentation:

How to Create a PowerPoint Presentation from a PPT Template

Are you ready to start creating your presentation?

 Let's get started:

1. Choose a Template

https://elements.envato.com/business-powerpoint-presentation-VQZNT6

The first step in how to create a PowerPoint presentation is to choose a template. The template featured in this section is the  Business PowerPoint Presentation . This template comes with 50 unique PowerPoint slides. Easily add an image to the template by dragging and dropping an image of your choice into the picture placeholder.

2. Create an Outline

Creating an outline before working on your presentation is a great way to organize your thoughts. When creating a presentation, you want the audience to be clear, consistent, and organized.

Also, when you create an outline, it can help you make sure that you've got the best message. You can also use an outline to choose where you want your images or other multimedia. Also, they can help you see if you missed a topic or point.

3. The Basics

Slide 7 Business PowerPoint Template.

To learn the basics, let's start with slide seven. As you can see, there are a few components on the slide that we can change according to our needs. At first sight, we notice the following components available to us:

  • footer text

I'd advise you to always look at the available components in a slide design as you're glancing over the different slides within a theme. This has a few benefits:

  • You can identify how your content can fit the deck's structure.
  • You can decide on the components you like (or dislike).
  • You'll notice a pattern in the slide designs.

Now that we understand the components we can change to suit our needs, let's move ahead and start designing.

4.   Removing Slide Components

Removing text from your slide can be easily done.

For this example, I'll be making a simple slide to introduce the topic of this presentation. I've decided I don't need a footer or paragraph text underneath the title.

To remove the text, simply click on each  Text Box  and use the  Delete key to remove the components from the slide.

To delete multiple words, highlight the words and then press Delete on your keyboard. If you want to add them again, you can use the top toolbar to insert text boxes, images, and other assets such as shapes and graphs.

5. Use the Slide Master

Use Slide Master

But wait! You might notice that you can't click on certain components within the slide. For example, you can't change the footer. This is because it's set in a Master Slide . 

The easiest way to explain a Master Slide is to think of a boilerplate which forms the foundation for your slide designs.

The slide master tool lets you edit the layout from a single slide. This makes it easy to edit the layout of multiple slides at once. To access the slide master tool, click on the  View  tab.

Next, click on the  Slide Master  icon. This opens up the tool. The large slide is the slide that you make edits to. The small slides under the large slide is the group that'll be edited when you edit the large slide.

This is normal, as a master slide can have a  Master Layout . Master slides use a master layout used in a group of master slides.

Let's access the master layout by looking at our master slide overview in the left panel and scrolling all the way up until we see the slide on top of the group. This is the slide that contains the master layout. 

In this slide, you can change the footer. You'll also notice the child master slides updating as you change this. Click the Close Master  button in the top toolbar to save your changes.

You'll notice that the elements you couldn't edit have been updated and changed in the deck design.

For more information about the Slide Master tool, read this in-depth article:

6. How to Add Animation

How to add animation

If you want to add something fun to your presentation, you can add animation. First, however, you need to know how to edit PowerPoint templates to add animation. For this illustration, we'll switch to slide two.

First, click on the  Animations  tab above the toolbar. When you click on this tab, you’ll see the different effects, such as:

  • the green Entrance Effects
  • the yellow Emphasis Effects
  • the red Exit Effects

Next, click on the object that you want to animate. Then, choose the animations from the effects options that you want to use.

For more information about PowerPoint animation, read these articles:

7. Add an Image

You can use two methods to add an image to a presentation template.

The first method is using picture placeholders. A good premium template has picture placeholders in the template.

For example, slide one of the Business PowerPoint Presentation templates has a picture placeholder in the middle of the slide.

The Business PowerPoint Presentation comes with picture placeholders which makes it easy to add an image.

For example, you can find unlimited stock photos on Envato Elements. Download them to your device quickly and easily.

Download  a photo you'd like to use and  drag the image into the slide. Of course, essential to notice is that the picture is high enough in resolution (as a general rule, never aim for an image that's got less than 1600 pixels in width, or the quality might be poor).

You may need to adjust the image size and position.

The second method is to click on the  Insert tab  above the toolbar.

Next, click on the  Pictures  button in the toolbar. When you click on this button, a menu appears. Choose the correct option depending on where your image file is located. Your image appears on your slide. Adjust the image as needed.

Insert an image. (Image Source: Envato Elements)

8. Image Transparency

You can easily change the transparency of an image to increase the legibility of text which appears on top of the image.

First, click on the image. Next, click on the  Picture Format  tab above the toolbar. You'll see a Transparency button in the toolbar. When you click on this button, a Transparency menu appears. Choose the option that you want.

You can easily change the transparency of an image to increase the legibility of the text on top of the picture.

Let's add some finishing touches. Click on the title to change its text, remove the placeholder logo using backspace, and drag in your company's logo. Should you have any issues with the formatting, double-click on the image.

9. Fitting Images

When you have issues with an image placeholder, using either the fit or fill feature can often help you

In the top toolbar under the  Picture Format  tab, there's a  Crop  button with a dropdown next to it. When you click on the dropdown menu, there's a  Fit option and a Fill option. The fit option helps you fit an image within a constrained box. The Fill  option is useful to cover a constrained box (for example, when using a background image).

10.  Images Within Shapes

Images in shapes add visual interest to your slide.

The final tricky part is updating images within a shape. Let's look at slide 23.

When you click on the graphic on the right, you'll notice it's a shape that's got multiple areas. You can double-click  on the  image placeholders  within the shape to open a menu to select the image you'd like to add to the shape.

With that, we're all set to complete this slide!

11.  Final Tips

As you notice, navigating through a theme design is very easy. 

It would be best if you remembered that there's a distinction between your  slide design,  which uses placeholders, and  recurring components , which you can't edit directly in the slide but can change in the corresponding  Master Slide . If you can't access an item in the original master slide, a parent Master Slide  uses a  Master Layout . Multiple slides use the master layout. This allows for a consistent design across multiple presentation files. 

As a quick overview, the ideal process to edit a template is the following:

  • Copy and the original template into a new working document you'll save separately.
  • Make edits to each slide you work with. Start with placeholders, then change the corresponding Master Slide if needed. Of course, you can add and remove text, images, and charts.
  • You might notice that your changes to the Master Slide affects your other slides, which is good as you only need to update the placeholders, saving time.
  • Do a final check if everything looks solid, and you're all set!
