Gamma is a cloud-based AI tool for creating presentations, webpages, and documents. It was founded by Grant Lee in 2020. Since then, they have garnered over 50 million users, and more than 700k creations are being done on their platform every day.

Gamma User Interface
The user interface of Gamma is modern and responsive on all devices. As you log in to your Gamma account, the main screen features a list of your previously generated presentations and other assets.
You can create a new PPT or import from other platforms using the buttons at the top. The left panel lets you access templates, themes, custom fonts, inspiration ideas, and more. From the top right corner, you can check your remaining AI credits and account settings.
Overall, the UI looks friendly and easy to navigate. If you have already been using AI tools, you won’t go through any learning curve. But if you’re used to PowerPoint presentations or Google Slides, you may need some time to get used to it.
Key Features of Gamma App
1) Multiple PPT Generation Methods
Gamma App features multiple ways to generate a presentation. You can start by:
- Pasting your text content in the editor.
- Importing content from existing URLs, documents, or web pages.
- Using AI to create your PPT.
If you’re planning to go with the manual method, you can use AI content generation tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to generate the slide content for you.
2) AI Presentation Generation
Gamma lets you generate a complete presentation using AI technology within seconds. You start by deciding the number of cards (slides) you want in your PPT. The free plan lets you create up to 10 cards. Whereas, with paid plans, you can create up to 50 cards.
Next, you can choose the page style (default, traditional, or tall) and language. It features 65+ languages to choose from. Finally, you can insert a prompt to generate your PPT. Make sure to include information like topic, number of slides, purpose, target audience, style, and tone of voice in your prompt.
Here’s a sample prompt you can follow:
I want to create a presentation with [enter number of slides] slides on the topic [enter your topic]. It should be tailored towards [enter target audience] with a [enter style/tone] tone. Give me a short and concise prompt to generate a professional presentation with relevant content and images.
Once you provide your prompt, it lets you pick a theme, the amount of text on each card, and an image source. Finally, it generates a visually appealing presentation within seconds. Check out this presentation I created on the topic.
Overall, the AI presentation generation is super impressive. However, I wish they had a larger library of themes. Currently, their theme collection is pretty basic.
3) Customization Options
Gamma offers a range of customization options for your PPT. From the right toolbar, you can check dozens of card templates to design a new slide. The Smart layouts section offers various layouts, like bullets, icons, timeline, arrows, funnel, pyramid, steps, and more.
You also get basic blocks like tables, lists, boxes, buttons, code blocks, a table of contents, etc. You can also insert images, videos, interactive elements, media, embed apps and webpages, charts, forms, and buttons into your PPT.
Gamma features a variety of charts, like a pie chart, donut chart, line chart, bar chart, etc. Overall, you get a whole range of customization features to enhance your presentation.
4) AI Text Editing Options
Gamma allows you to easily edit the generated text content with AI. Simply select the text you wish to edit and click on the ‘Edit with AI’ button on the toolbar. Under the Rephrase section, you’ll find options to expand your text, condense it, or make it more engaging.
To go a step further, it can also help you fix spelling and grammar, translate your text, break it into bullet points, italicize keywords, put key points into boxes, etc. As you edit the text, a chat window opens up on the right to make it more convenient and friendly for you.
5) AI Images & Image Libraries
If you want to insert or replace images in your PPT, Gamma offers multiple options. It integrates with image sources like Unsplash, web images, AI Image, illustrations, animated GIFs from Giphy, QR codes, icons, etc.
If you choose AI images, you also need to choose an image model. You’ll find popular AI image models like Flux, Imagen, Luma, Ideogram, Leonardo, Dall-E 3, Recraft, and more.
If your AI-generated images are not as per your expectations, Gamma lets you separately fine-tune visuals. Just click on the image, hit the AI button, and chat with the AI to make the edits.
You can also remove image background, vectorize, animate, add natural lighting, soften color palette, etc. I liked the prompt ideas it offers in the Suggested section.
6) App Integrations
Talking about integrations, the Gamma app integrates with an array of popular applications. You can connect Google Drive, Instagram, Twitter (X), Figma, Airtable, Office 365, Miro Board, PowerBI, and Amplitude.
For images, Gamma integrates with Unsplash and Giphy. Whereas, for videos and media, it offers integration with Loom, YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, TikTok, and Spotify. With these options, you can easily insert different media elements from the platforms of your choice.
7) Spotlight Mode
Spotlight is a unique and super impressive feature of Gamma. Once you are done creating your PPT, you can start presenting it.
The Spotlight option blurs the elements on your PPT that haven’t been viewed yet. I really loved this cool feature. It keeps the viewers’ attention focused on the point that’s highlighted on the screen.
8) Multiple Export and Sharing Options
Once you are happy with your final PPT, you can share it with others by clicking on the Share button in the top right corner. Before sharing the link, you can set an access permission so the users can view, comment, or edit your shared file.
It also features a snippet of the embed code if you wish to embed the PPT on any of your websites. Additionally, if you want to export your PPT, you get the following formats: PDF, PPT, PNG, and Google Slides.
You can also convert your PPT into a free, publishable site by clicking on the ‘Publish to Site’ option. Recently, they have added a button to directly post your PPT to LinkedIn.
9) Templates Library
If you want to build your presentation through templates, Gamma also features a template library. It offers templates for projects and collaboration, sales and marketing, popular templates, and more.
However, the templates are quite limited. I wish they would include more template options in the future.
10) Analytics and Insights
Under the Analytics section, you can check the page views and card engagement. Page Views shows the unique viewers, when they viewed your PPT, and the number of cards they viewed.
Whereas, in the card engagement section, you can check which cards were viewed the most, and the percentage of viewers that viewed a specific card.
11) Real-Time Collaboration
//Gamma – real time collaboration options
If you have a team of users, you can add their email to Gamma with edit, view, or comment permissions. If you want to provide them full access permission, you’ll have to add them as a workspace member.
12) Custom Themes and Fonts
To streamline your branding with your presentation, the Gamma app allows you to upload custom themes and fonts. It uses these branding elements when generating your presentation.
An important thing to note with custom fonts is to include all weights and variants of a font family. Also, use the following formats: TTF and OTF.
13) Create Websites, Documents, and Social Posts
Gamma isn’t just limited to PPT generation. You can do a lot more with it. For instance, you can use it to generate websites. It works similarly to PPT generation. You enter your prompt, choose the number of cards and language, and it creates an outline for your site.
Then, you can choose a theme, content length, image source, style, and AI model. It will generate a beautiful website within seconds. By default, when you publish the site, it goes live as a subdomain under gamma.site. You can also add a custom domain if you want.
