Remove a Background in Google Slides
Google Slides has no built-in background remover, so you cannot cut an image out inside Slides. The free workaround is to remove the background with imagetogif first, then insert the transparent PNG. Everything runs in your browser, so your image stays private.

Tips that make a difference
Slides cannot do this natively
There is no background-removal option in Google Slides, so the image has to be prepared before you insert it.
Export PNG for transparency
Slides keeps the transparency only if the file is a PNG.
Reuse across your deck
One clean cutout can sit on several slides with different backgrounds.
