About This FAQ
Gamma is used by millions of professionals for AI-generated presentations, documents, and web pages. This FAQ addresses the most common questions about features, limitations, and best practices based on Gamma’s official documentation and hands-on testing as of March 2026.
AI Generation
How does Gamma generate presentations?
Gamma uses large language models combined with a design engine to transform text prompts into complete presentations. You describe what you want (topic, key points, audience, purpose), and Gamma generates the content, structure, layout, and design. The entire process typically takes 30–60 seconds.
How detailed should my prompt be?
More specific prompts produce better results. Effective prompts include:
- Topic and purpose: “Quarterly sales review” is better than “presentation”
- Key data points: Include specific numbers, names, and facts
- Audience: “For the board of directors” vs. “for the engineering team” produces different tone and structure
- Structure preferences: “Focus on three main challenges” or “include a competitive comparison”
Can I regenerate individual sections?
Yes. After generation, you can select any section and prompt Gamma to regenerate just that section while keeping the rest of the presentation intact. This allows targeted refinement without regenerating the entire deck.
Does Gamma remember my previous presentations?
Gamma maintains your presentation history and can reference previous work within your account. You can prompt “create a version of [previous presentation] updated for Q2” and Gamma will use the earlier presentation as a starting point.
What languages does Gamma support?
Gamma generates content in 30+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and Arabic. Quality varies by language — English produces the best results due to training data volume. Major European and Asian languages are well-supported.
Custom Branding
Can I use my company’s brand colors and fonts?
- Free plan: No custom branding. Presentations use Gamma’s built-in themes.
- Plus plan: Basic brand kit — set brand colors and upload a logo.
- Pro plan: Full brand kit — custom colors, fonts, logo, and branded templates.
How do I set up a brand kit?
Navigate to Settings → Brand Kit. Upload your logo (SVG or PNG recommended), set primary and secondary brand colors using hex codes, and select fonts. Once configured, all new generations automatically apply your brand settings.
Can I use custom fonts not in Gamma’s library?
Pro plan users can upload custom font files (TTF, OTF, WOFF). Plus plan users select from Gamma’s extended font library, which includes hundreds of professional typefaces but may not include your specific brand font.
Will existing presentations update when I change my brand kit?
No. Brand kit changes apply to new presentations and newly generated sections. Existing presentations retain the design they were created with. To update an existing presentation, regenerate its sections after changing your brand kit.
Export Options
Can I export to PowerPoint (.pptx)?
Yes, on Plus and Pro plans. Free plan does not include PowerPoint export. The exported .pptx preserves text content, images, and basic layout structure. Interactive features (embedded content, expandable sections, animations) are converted to static equivalents.
How accurate is the PowerPoint export?
The export captures approximately 80–90% of the visual design. Simple presentations export well. Complex layouts with embedded content, interactive elements, or non-standard formatting may require manual adjustment in PowerPoint after export.
Can I export to PDF?
Yes, on all plans. Free plan PDFs include “Made with Gamma” branding. Plus and Pro plan PDFs are clean (no branding). PDFs are static snapshots — interactive features are not preserved.
Can I export to Google Slides?
Not directly. The recommended path is: export to .pptx → upload to Google Drive → open with Google Slides. Formatting may require adjustment during this conversion.
Can I export individual slides/sections?
Yes. You can export specific sections as images (PNG/JPG) for use in other documents, social media posts, or presentations.
Collaboration
Can multiple people edit a presentation simultaneously?
Yes, on Pro plan with team workspace. Real-time collaboration works similarly to Google Docs — multiple editors can work on the same presentation simultaneously with changes visible in real time.
Can I share a presentation for view-only access?
Yes, on all plans. Generate a shareable link and anyone with the link can view the presentation. You can set passwords for sensitive content on paid plans.
Can I add comments to presentations?
Yes. Collaborators and viewers can add comments to specific sections. Comment notifications alert the presentation owner. This is available on Plus and Pro plans.
Is there version history?
Pro plan includes version history. You can view previous versions of a presentation and restore earlier versions if needed. Plus plan does not include version history.
Viewing and Sharing
How do viewers access my presentation?
Via a shareable link (gamma.app/docs/your-presentation). No software installation or account creation is required. The presentation loads in any modern web browser on any device.
Are presentations mobile-friendly?
Yes. Gamma presentations are responsive — they automatically adapt layout and formatting for phones, tablets, laptops, and large displays. This is one of Gamma’s key advantages over traditional slide formats.
Can I embed a Gamma presentation in my website?
Yes. Gamma provides an embed code (iframe) that you can add to any website, blog, or web application. The embedded presentation is fully interactive.
Can I present live from Gamma?
Yes. Gamma includes a presenter mode with:
- Full-screen presentation view
- Speaker notes visible only to the presenter
- Navigation controls
- Timer/clock display
- Slide overview/thumbnails
Can viewers download my presentation?
You control whether viewers can download. Enable or disable download options (PDF, PPTX) for each shared link on paid plans.
Analytics
What analytics does Gamma provide?
- Free plan: No analytics
- Plus plan: Basic view counts — see how many times your presentation was viewed
- Pro plan: Advanced analytics including:
- Viewer identification (who opened the link)
- Time spent per section
- Section-level engagement (which sections got the most attention)
- Drop-off points (where viewers stopped reading)
- Return visits (viewers who came back for a second look)
- Geographic location of viewers
- Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
How are viewers identified?
If a viewer is logged into Gamma, their identity is associated with the view. For non-logged-in viewers, Gamma tracks by browser session and may capture email addresses if the presentation requires email entry before viewing (configurable on paid plans).
Can I integrate analytics with other tools?
Pro plan supports webhooks and basic integrations for tracking views in CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot) and analytics platforms. Custom integrations are available on enterprise plans.
Templates and Design
How many templates does Gamma offer?
Gamma offers dozens of professionally designed themes covering business, creative, education, minimal, and bold design styles. Each theme applies consistent colors, typography, layout patterns, and visual elements. Pro plan users access additional premium themes.
Can I create custom templates?
Pro plan users can save presentations as templates for reuse. This is useful for creating standardized formats (weekly reports, client presentations, proposal structures) that team members can instantiate with new content.
Can I customize the design after generation?
Yes. After generation, every element is editable:
- Text content, size, color, and font
- Images (replace, resize, crop)
- Layout (rearrange sections, change column structures)
- Colors and themes (apply different color schemes)
- Add or remove sections
- Insert additional content blocks (images, videos, charts, tables)
Does Gamma generate images?
Yes. Gamma generates or selects appropriate images for presentations. The AI chooses stock images or generates illustrations based on the content. You can also upload your own images to replace any generated visual.
Content Types
Can Gamma create documents (not just presentations)?
Yes. Gamma supports three content types:
- Presentations: Sequential, slide-style format optimized for presenting
- Documents: Flowing, long-form format optimized for reading
- Web pages: Single-page format optimized for sharing and embedding
All three types are generated from prompts using the same AI engine.
Can Gamma create charts and graphs?
Yes. Gamma generates charts from data described in prompts or from pasted data. Supported chart types include bar, line, pie, area, and comparison charts. For complex data visualization, dedicated tools (Tableau, Google Sheets charts) may produce better results, which can be embedded into Gamma presentations.
Can I embed videos?
Yes. Gamma supports embedding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, and direct video file uploads. Videos play inline within the presentation.
Privacy and Security
Who can see my presentations?
Only people with the shareable link can view your presentation. Presentations are not publicly indexed or discoverable. Password protection is available on paid plans for sensitive content.
Is my content used to train Gamma’s AI?
Review Gamma’s current privacy policy for the latest data usage terms. As of early 2026, Gamma states that user content may be used to improve its services, but enterprise plans include data handling agreements with specific privacy guarantees.
Where is my data stored?
Gamma uses cloud infrastructure (primarily US-based). For organizations with specific data residency requirements, review Gamma’s data processing documentation or contact their enterprise team.
Troubleshooting
Why is my generation taking longer than usual?
Longer generation times typically result from complex prompts, high server demand, or network latency. Try simplifying the prompt, regenerating, or waiting a few minutes if server load is high.
Why does the generated content not match my prompt?
Common causes: prompt is too vague, key information is missing, or the AI interpreted ambiguous language differently than intended. Refine with more specific language, explicit data points, and clear structural direction.
Can I recover a deleted presentation?
Recently deleted presentations are available in the Trash for 30 days. After that, recovery is not possible. Contact support for assistance with critical deletions.
Conclusion
Gamma is a versatile AI presentation platform with a generous free tier and progressively more capable paid plans. The most commonly needed professional features — branding removal and PowerPoint export — are available on the Plus plan at approximately $10/month. Advanced analytics, team collaboration, and full brand customization require the Pro plan at approximately $20/month.
