Steps
Open your presentation and go to the slide where the animation should start. Add the shape, image or text box you want to move.
Right-click the slide in the thumbnail pane and choose Duplicate Slide. Keep the same object on the copy so PowerPoint can match it.
On the duplicate slide, move, resize or recolor the object to its end position. Do not delete and re-add it, or Morph will not link the two.
Select the second slide, open the Transitions tab and click Morph in the gallery.
Click Preview in the Transitions tab to watch the object glide from the first slide to the second.
Set the Duration to about 1 to 2 seconds and pick a smooth Effect Option such as Objects if the menu appears.
Repeat the duplicate-and-move process for each new slide, then run the slideshow with F5 to check the flow.
Tips and common mistakes
Give matching objects the same name in the Selection Pane so Morph pairs them correctly.
Keep movements small and consistent, since large jumps look messy even with a smooth transition.
Morph only works in PowerPoint 2019, 2021 and Microsoft 365, so older versions will not show it.
Questions
Why is Morph greyed out or missing?
Your PowerPoint version is likely older than 2019 or you are editing in a browser. Open the file in a desktop Microsoft 365 or 2019 or newer install.
Can I use Morph on text?
Yes. Duplicate the slide, change the text or its position, then apply Morph to the second slide. Words will shift and fade smoothly.
Does Morph work between two different objects?
It works best when the same object appears on both slides. If you swap in a new shape, PowerPoint may fade instead of morphing.
