FAQ: Using Imageslot for Presentation Mockups

In most presentation software (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides), you can replace placeholder images by right-clicking the image and selecting "Change Picture" or "Replace Image." If you use a consistent Imageslot URL pattern, you can generate updated images (for example, changing colors or overlay text) and update all slides rapidly. For bulk updates, save all placeholder images in a folder and use the software’s batch replace feature or macros to automate the process.

For modern widescreen slides, use a 16:9 aspect ratio, such as 1280x720 or 1920x1080. For classic slides, use 4:3, such as 1024x768. Imageslot lets you specify any size, so match your slide’s layout for the cleanest result. For vertical layouts or mobile mockups, adjust accordingly (e.g., 720x1280). See Image Sizing Guide for more tips.

Use the text= parameter in your Imageslot URL to overlay any custom text—such as your company name, slide title, or context (e.g., text=Brand+Intro). You can also set bg= and fg= to match your brand colors. For advanced styling, adjust fontsize=, bold=1, and italic=1. Preview your font and style choices in the Font Previewer Tool.

Yes! You can use spreadsheet formulas or scripts to generate Imageslot URLs for each slide (e.g., with different text overlays or colors). For PowerPoint or Google Slides, use macros or add-ons to insert images by URL in bulk. For programmatic decks (like those built with Reveal.js or Markdown), simply embed the generated Imageslot URLs directly. For more automation tips, see API Reference and Usage Examples.
