This background is for slides that need to feel polished and official, with a soft spotlight for your headline and no distractions anywhere near it. This formal PPT background for business pairs a gentle radial glow of white light on the left with faceted, glass-like triangular shapes in silver gray sliding in from the right. It is a free HD 16:9 download with no watermark, ready for PowerPoint, Google Slides, or a desktop wallpaper.
What this formal PPT background for business looks like
A soft radial glow sits left-of-center, brightening to near pure white (#FFFFFF) at its core and settling into a pale gray (#EAEAEA) at the edges of the frame. Cutting across the right two-thirds of the slide are hard-edged triangular facets in light silver and gray tones, layered like broken glass or a low-poly crystal, each panel catching the light at a slightly different angle. The two effects meet in the middle, where the soft glow gives way to the crisper geometric shapes.
The design thinking behind the glow and glass facets
I paired a soft, photographic light source with hard, faceted geometry on purpose, since that contrast is what keeps a purely gray-and-white image from feeling flat or generic. The radial glow does the real work: it creates a natural spotlight on the left side of the slide, exactly where a title or company name will read with the most presence. The angular facets on the right act as a graphic signature rather than a functional space for text, giving the background enough visual interest to feel premium without ever crowding your content. I kept the whole palette restricted to whites, grays, and silvers because that kind of restraint reads as formal and dependable, the register you want for content that has to be taken seriously at a glance. This one is built for content where formality matters: business proposals, board and investor presentations, legal and financial documents, official reports, award or ceremony slides, and any deck that needs to project authority without leaning on a brand color.
Where to use this business background
It is at its best on cover slides and section openers, where the glowing left side can carry a bold title and the faceted right side reads as a quiet, professional flourish. Because the left field stays so clean, it also holds up well as a background for a text-heavy body slide or an executive summary.

How to apply it in PowerPoint and Google Slides
In PowerPoint, open the Design tab, choose Format Background, select Picture or texture fill, and Insert the downloaded image. Use “Apply to All” to set it across the deck. To keep it fixed, open View → Slide Master and place the image on the master layout so it stays put while you build slides.
In Google Slides, open Slide → Change background, click Choose image next to Image, and upload the file. Press “Add to theme” to apply it to every slide at once.
A legibility tip for this one: place your main heading right over the brightest part of the glow and set it in dark charcoal or black, which reads crisply against that near-white core. Save the faceted right side for a logo or a small graphic element rather than paragraphs of text, since the shifting gray tones there reduce contrast for smaller type.
