OPF Image Treatment

Full-Bleed

A single image extends to every slide edge, creating an immersive visual moment.

full-bleedNative OPF

Best Fit

Title slides, section dividers, campaign stories, and emotional proof points.

Photography Guidance

Use a high-resolution landscape image with a clean negative-space region for text. Source at least 1920 by 1080 pixels and avoid important subjects near slide edges.

Avoid

Avoid full-bleed photos for dense analytical slides or images with important detail at every edge.

Treatment Practices

1

Use fit cover so the image fills the slide without letterboxing.

2

Reserve a quiet region for text before choosing the crop.

3

Add an overlay when text appears directly on the image.

General Image Rules

1

Crop with intent

Choose fit, position, and size based on the subject and message, not just available space.

2

Protect readability

Text over images needs enough contrast, an intentional overlay, or a separate text surface.

3

Respect image truth

Avoid filters or crops that distort evidence, screenshots, charts, or compliance imagery.

4

Keep a system

Use a small set of image treatments consistently so photo-heavy decks still feel coherent.
