How we use Photoshop and Google Slides for feature image creation
Take a peek at how we combine Photoshop and Google Slides to create styled feature images—an easy setup for consistent, custom blog and content visuals.
Summary: You can use Photoshop to design feature images with custom graphics, then export them to Google Slides for easy layout and text addition. This combination helps you create consistent, professional-looking images for blog posts and presentations.
How to create consistent feature images
You know the purple emoji images you see across Producing Paradise? They're our feature images, which we create using Photoshop and Google Slides.
Here’s our quick and repeatable process:
We copy the emoji from Emojipedia
We use a saved Action in Photoshop to make it purple and resize it
We drop the styled emoji into Google Slides and choose from our pre-made background templatess
We export the finished slide as a JPG
This gives us consistent branding without starting from scratch each time — you can go from idea to final image in just a few clicks.
