Purchase
Toolbox for Keynote offers great value and flexible purchasing options. You can try out the freebies available in most subcategories, purchase items by the unit, by subcategory, by section, or get the entire Toolbox. Purchasing items in bulk offers greater savings than by purchasing individual items. To purchase:
- Click on the price button adjacent to the item or section you wish to purchase. It will transform into a Buy Template or Buy Pack button depending on your selection;
- Click the Buy Template/Buy Pack button, and you’ll be asked to confirm your purchase by entering your Apple ID and password.
To buy the full Toolbox for Keynote bundle, click the price button at the bottom of the left sidebar. This unlocks all items in the app.
The first item in each product category is available free of charge. All free items are displayed in the Purchased section, together with all items you have bought.
Open & Save
Once you have purchased an item, click the Open button to open it in Keynote (or in your default preview application for Clipart and other image-type items). For templates, Keynote will ask if you want to save the template in the chooser.
To save an item in Finder:
- Right-click on its thumbnail and select Save To;
- Select a location where you want to save the item and press Save.
You can also drag individual items and product sets and drop them in Finder or on your Desktop.
Edit Themes
After you open a theme or layout in Keynote, you can do any of the following:
- Type or paste your own text, add and remove text boxes, and change the fonts;
- Drag your photos or pictures onto image placeholders to replace the stock images;
- Change the size, position, and color of any element, including the text boxes, images, and shapes;
- The themes and layouts are available in Standard (4:3) and Widescreen (16:9) slide sizes. To choose the slide size in the Toolbox, select Edit > Default Theme Size.
Note: Some elements in the themes and layouts are embedded and can only be changed by editing the master slides. In that case, you will get a notification with an option to edit the master slide.
Edit Illustrations
After you open an item from Infographics or Elements sections, you can copy a selected illustration and paste it into your Keynote slideshow.
The illustrations included in Infographics or Elements sections come in one of two formats:
- Keynote’s native shapes, which you can edit fully in Format > Style. Most of them are grouped for easier copying, and you can ungroup them by selecting Arrange > Ungroup;
- PNG images, which you can arrange in Format > Style. To change their color, select the image, go to View > Show Adjust Image, and modify the relevant parameters (not applicable for black and white images).
The image resolution is suitable for printing. All images feature a transparent background so that you can place them on top of backgrounds of your choice.
Clipart Prime images come in the PNG format and will be opened in your default preview application. Afterwards, you can do any of the following:
- Copy the image from the preview application and paste it into your slideshow;
- Use View > Show Adjust Image to change the image parameters;
- Print files with the images, as the resolution is suitable for printing.
New Items
Toolbox for Keynote is regularly updated with new items, which appear in the New section.
If you have purchased product sets/categories that include any new items, they will automatically appear in your Purchased section.
If you have purchased the full bundle, all new items will always appear in your Purchased list.
Restoring Purchases
If you have replaced or reformatted your computer and the Toolbox for Keynote would not display your past purchases, you should:
- Select File > Restore Purchases;
- Sign into your Apple account by entering your Apple ID and password;
- Look for your past purchases in the Purchased section.
